Dishoom to open Permit Room in Wimbledon

Dishoom, is planning to open a site in London’s Wimbledon under its all-day, bar-café concept Permit Room Dishoom, which currently operates five sites under the Permit Room name, has applied to open as part of the redevelopment of the Bank Buildings, on Wimbledon Hill Road.

Earlier in the year, Dishoom opened its latest Permit Room, in the former Royal Bank of Scotland building in Exchange Court, Liverpool.

The business currently operates Permit Rooms in Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford and London’s Portobello Road.

Dishoom is set to further add to original concept venues in London estate, opening on the Southbank, at Royal Festival Hall.

Dishoom will also in Borough at the Hop Exchange in October.

The group’s first international site will launch on 11 East 26th Street in New York.

Dishoom has recently began offering its first set menu, with a new weekday lunch deal. The “Lunch with Promptitude” menu is available Monday to Friday from 12pm to 5pm. The menu features two options – the “Swift Vitality” lunch, which serves two and is £16 per person, and the “Prompt Replenishment” lunch, which serves two and is £20 per person.

Permit Room’s menus are shorter than the standard Dishoom offering, but with dishes exclusive to the Permit Room, such as chilli-cheese naan bites, and fish chapali patties, as well as cinnamon-spiked French toast for breakfast.

The Portabello Permit Room has a stunning two-room apartment upstairs costing £700 a night, with bouncy beds, a large living area, complete with fridge stocked with Mango lassi and a mini bar full of Dishoom’s prebottled cocktails.
