This October, we’re opening a brand-new Crate in Wood Wharf; a lively, fast-changing neighbourhood, just a 5-minute walk from Canary Wharf.

Our new spot at 14 Water Street, E14 5GX will bring everything you love about Crate — stone-baked pizza, craft beer, and our laid-back vibe.

We’re staying proudly independent, keeping the taps flowing, and making sure every new guest gets the same warm welcome and cold pints we’ve been serving since day one.

Since 2012, Crate Brewery has been a staple of Hackney Wick, serving up craft beer and pizza in a unique, community-built space. Proudly independent and sustainably minded, we’re more than just a bar; we’re a hub for connection, creativity, and local support.

Welcome to Silo's fermentation factory! It’s soon to be a hive of microbial activity, creating macro waves on the food waste frontier.
