Bobo Social opens new site in Ealing
Located in the new Filmworks development, Bobo Social will be a 120-seater restaurant, extending to 160 seats courtesy of its summer terrace
Bobo Social has opened a new restaurant in Ealing at 3/4 Filmworks Walk, marking the third opening for the group.
The first Bobo opened its doors in 2014 on Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia, to “great critical acclaim” from the likes of Fay Maschler, Grace Dent and Giles Coren. The second followed in Elephant Park in 2020.
Located in Ealing’s new Filmworks development, Bobo Social will be a 120-seater restaurant, extending to 160 seats courtesy of its summer terrace. Patrons can sit at a variety of tables including at the long bar where they can watch the staff make their signature cocktails, or enjoy the “culinary theatre” through its open kitchen.
Bobo prides itself on providing “delicious” staples and slants on modern British and European cuisine, employing classic techniques and fresh produce.
Its daily brunch menu will be available between 9am and 3pm and includes the Full Bobo Breakfast with vegan and vegetarian options available, served best with one of Bobo’s envie skin drinks, cold pressed juices made in-house. Those looking to further enliven their visit often choose Sunday brunch with a bloody mary or mimosa, or Bobo’s signature boborita, its take on the classic Spicy Margarita, with jalapeno infused tequila.
Beyond brunch, the a la carte menu includes starters such as squid, braised lamb Croquettes and Devon Crab Tostada. Lighter options for main courses include goats’ cheese with waldorf salad and smash burgers. The warm chocolate fondant is its bestselling dessert to eat, but there is also Irish tiramisu and lemon sherbet.
The owner and founder, Michael Benson, who has been in the industry for 30 years, and has been a long-term Ealing resident himself, has long seen the potential of opening a Bobo Social in W5, adding “something great” to an already thriving part of London.
