The idea is simple. Take a green basket to the chilled display, pick whatever you fancy from the labelled shelves, and bring it to the counter. We weigh it, you choose a soup base and how spicy you want it, and a few minutes later the whole lot comes back cooked together in one black clay pot. You pay for the weight of what you pick, so nothing gets wasted and no two pots are the same.

Still bubbling when it
lands on the table

Grab a green basket, pick from more than sixty ingredients in the chilled display, get it weighed at the counter, choose your broth and spice level, and it all comes back bubbling in a black clay pot.

A small, bright room that gets busy at lunchtime

Eat in if you can find a seat, or take it away from the counter. We also deliver through Uber Eats and HungryPanda, so a clay pot can turn up at your desk when you cannot get to us.

The mild broth
The mild broth
Not everything here has to blow your head off. The mild broth is a quiet favourite with regulars: the same pick your own ingredients, in a gentler soup.
BBQ skewers
BBQ skewers
Flip the menu over and there is a whole barbecue side. Skewers on a dark plate with little white bowls of dip, good alongside a pot or on their own.

People love the pick your own format: choosing from the fridge is half the fun, though regulars warn each other not to overload the basket, since you pay by weight.

Friendly, helpful staff and food that arrives fast, even when the small room fills up at lunch. The free oils, sauces and condiments get a special mention.
