My favourite vegan sandwhiches- ask for the homemade focaccia or ciabatta- there is seating in the cafe but its often nicer to take them to Hackney Downs Park or the seating outside adjacent Hackney Downs Studios.

Small theatre whose critically acclaimed work invariably moves to bigger venues afterwards- you saw it here first!! If it's fully booked always call about returns as their system is very user friendly and you'll usually get seats.
