Expectations
It’s hard to know what to expect from Made in Camden. Cafes and restaurants which are based in venues, as Made in Camden is at The Roundhouse, are notoriously hit and miss. What we do know is that we really want to love it. Not only so that we can get some decent grub during Roundhouse visits, but also because of everything it stands for. The restaurant’s local sourcing policy means working with businesses from the area; they’ve even recruited a local chef, Josh Katz; and what’s more, all proceeds are poured back into the Roundhouse trust. The promise of a dinner menu of small plates is a tantalizing one…
Experience
On first impressions, Made in Camden has the look of just any cafeteria, and not much more atmosphere. But as we settle down, are welcomed by the incredibly friendly staff, and take a look at a menu that you certainly wouldn’t find at just any cafeteria, the ice is broken. The end of a performance then triggers an onslaught, and suddenly the place is heaving – though still relaxed.
