In short, yes—we are still Forte Kitchen. We’ve simply sliced ourselves down the middle. The Forte side now covers our events and catering services, while the Kitchen part is represented by The Hatch and the room above it, currently known as the White Room.

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know us for our warm, inviting atmosphere and unforgettable meals. Today, we’re evolving—and our heart remains the same. In today’s changing hospitality scene, these updates are essential, and we’re confident they’ll make your experience even better.

What Does This Mean for You?

Everyday Dining: The Hatch & White Room
Olly’s everyday cafe-restaurant brunch menu is now served at The Hatch & White Room. Enjoy our signature dishes—like Olly’s famous mushrooms on toast, delicious soups, and all your brunch classics—wherever you choose to sit: whether above The Hatch or downstairs, you'll enjoy table service.
Events & Catering: The Forte Experience
Our events and catering now fall under the Forte name. This means you can enjoy Olly’s incredible food for your very own private party.
Missing the Black Room?
We know many of you love the unique charm of the Black Room. Here’s the great news: you can now book the Black Room for daytime events—whether it’s a group brunch, a birthday, a christening, or even a corporate meeting. And if you don’t have an event planned, you can still enjoy the Black Room on Saturdays when it opens to the public; mention in your booking notes that you’d like to be seated there. Tap here to book.
Plus, we're taking that very charm and infusing it into the White Room with new soft furnishings, acoustic panels, and other stylish touches. Check out the sneak peek below of the reimagined White Room—but now, what should we call it since it’ll no longer be white? Mmm… comment below with your ideas!
