About the Concept

Nettle is a new rooftop restaurant at The Conduit in Covent Garden, opening Mid September 2026

Guided by the British landscape, Nettle celebrates exceptional seasonal produce, transforming carefully sourced ingredients into thoughtful, unexpected dishes. Rooted in sustainability, provenance and craftsmanship, the restaurant champions the very best of the British Isles through a menu that respects nature, embraces seasonality and creates memorable dining experiences.
