ABOUT US
Run by Oscar, John and Delyse, they continue a long and proud association with the hospitality industry dating back to 1895 in Scotland.
Since taking over the The Shakespeare they have built up a reputation of serving the finest craft beers, spirits and wines along with one of the finest italian pizza and continental food speciality menus on offer in the city.
​
The Shakespeare embodies the energy of London with the laid back atmosphere of a local.
​
​
We have now teamed up with a historic restaurant from Italy called LA PIA
​
LA PIA was founded in 1887 in La Spezia. In a few years the shop became a landmark for those looking for a snack or a quick tasty meal. Originally the menu was limited to Farinata (a local dish made of chickpea flour) but after a few years it became popular for its delicious pizza and other genuine products such as focaccia al formaggio, focaccia portfino and focaccia alla nutella.
Tradition and quality has remained unchanged and its products are broadly known in Italy.
The menu is well diversified and in addition to pizza it includes gluten free products, a good selection of antipasti, salads and desserts.
​

Whether it be a corporate function, your work do or a family gathering, our staff will do their best to make sure your event is a memorable one. Choose from our signature pizzas, scrumptious burgers or a traditional buffet, or if you are solely after drinks we got an amazing selection of premium beers, wines and cocktails.
Looking to bring the party up a notch, we can arrange for live music / DJ upon request - Get in contact today to reserve your area!
