The Premises Cafe
The Premises Cafe is the Studio’s cafe restaurant placed at the front of the complex in Hackney and is also open to the general public.
In the early days of the studios being based at 201-203 Hackney Road, a mixture of studio staff and musicians staffed the café. Broughton said of this: "Musicians understand musicians. Musicians aren’t so good at running the cafe side of things – in fact, when I let them do it they always made a loss – but it makes complete sense for the studios." The Cafe business is now owned and operated as family business and services the studio as well as the general public.
In April 2007, The Premises Cafe was awarded Best Turkish Restaurant in the Evening Standard′s annual restaurant competition. On 24 May 2009, it was featured in The Guardian newspaper's food feature, 50 Coolest Places to Eat.
The walls of the cafe are aligned with signed photographs of famous studio clients.

Famous quotes containing the words premises and/or cafe:
“The press, the machine, the railroad, the telegraph are premises whose conclusion once a thousand years have passed no one has dared to draw as yet.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
