Idea
Ben's Canteen currently consists of two relaxed neighbourhood hangouts, in Battersea and Earlsfield (SW London), specialising in Burgers, Wine and Brunch. In September 2017, we expect to open a third restaurant, at the Battersea Power Station development.
Ben's Canteen is an alternative to the pub; with the informal spirit of a great bar, but without Sky Sports and tap after tap of beer. Every night, delicious burgers are paired with exciting wines.
During the day you can enjoy indulgent brunches with top notch coffee and what we know to be some of the best Bloody Marys in London.
Ben's Canteen, having raised money from friends and family, opened on St John's Hill in Battersea, close to Clapham Junction in 2011. In 2014, it expanded to a second site in Earlsfield and in September 2017, we will be opening a third site, this time within the Battersea Power Station development.
We serve an average of 2,000 customers a week, our core audience is 18-34 with a 70% female bias.
In 2015 and 2016, we were voted Best Restaurant in Wandsworth in the Time Out Love London Awards.
In November 2015, the Evening Standard named our brunch as one of the Top 25 in London.
We have a social media following in excess of 21,000 and an email database of 8,000.
