Elliot Cunningham - LAGOM
From the 1st of June 2023
Our excellent food offering is provided by our partner LAGOM the brainchild of Elliot Cunningham.
LAGOM paying tribute to Elliot’s Swedish heritage meaning “not too much, not too little.”
Elliot’s critically acclaimed food described by Jay Rayner as: "bold live-fire cooking that throbs uncompromisingly with flavour" is “fed by fire” cooked over open flame in front of your eyes.
Perfect for Sharing
It’s good to share, so it makes sense that you spread the love with this wholesome feast of goodness with friends, colleagues and family.
There’s no need to make a reservation for food at Hackney Church Brew Co, just stop by and tuck in!
Lagom (pronounced [ˈlɑ̂ːɡɔm], LAW-gom) is a Swedish word meaning "just the right amount" or "not too much, not too little".
The word can be variously translated as "in moderation", "in balance", "perfect-simple", "just enough", "ideal" and "suitable" (in matter of amounts). Whereas words like sufficient and average suggest some degree of abstinence, scarcity, or failure, lagom carries the connotation of appropriateness, although not necessarily perfection. The archetypical Swedish proverb "Lagom är bäst", literally "The right amount is best", is also translated as "Enough is as good as a feast",[1] or as "There is virtue in moderation".[2]
