*One of Britain’s top designers specialising in tropical deccor has been employed to convert part of the pub into a 70-seater diner and bar. The same firm, Stoke Newington-based Cheeky Tiki, who created London’s popular Polynesian restaurant Mahiki, near The Ritz hotel in Mayfair, are behind the new landmark venture. The Mahiki, which has included royals as diners, has just won a best new bar design award in the UK. Architect Jamie Wilson, a director of the firm, said that they haven’t decided on a name for the Archway restaurant yet, but work is about to begin on the new venue, which should be ready to open in April this year. *

Wow, congrats to Cheeky Tiki, again. I agree with Local Lib Dem councillor Kasprzyk, this is "...wonderful news." Another Polynesian/Tiki spot for London, my favorite city is fast becoming quite the Tiki haven. Certainly hope this new locale is up and operational by, say, early June?

Cheers,
