The 71 is South Woodford’s go-to dining destination, where global flavours meet warm, modern hospitality. Just minutes from the tube station on George Lane, our dining room is the kind of place you come for a quiet dinner with your other half, a long catch-up with friends, or a proper sit-down family meal — and leave already planning your next visit.
Our kitchen draws inspiration from the Far East, the Middle East, South Asia and the classic steakhouse, all under one roof. Every dish is freshly prepared to order and built around quality ingredients rather than shortcuts. Whether you’re after a slow-cooked lamb shank, a Wagyu steak or a plate of teriyaki prawns, you’ll find it on the same menu — and it’ll be done properly.
With 4.8 stars from over 600 Google reviews, The 71 has become one of East London’s most loved restaurants. Reserve your table online in seconds and see why so many of our guests come back week after week.
Our menu is one of the broadest you’ll find anywhere in East London. Start small with mixed olives, hummus, dynamite prawns, Korean Blaze wings, crispy bao buns or our signature 71 Platter — perfect for sharing while you decide what comes next. From there, the choice opens up to dishes like butter bliss chicken, dum biryani, lamb shank royale and chicken tikka masala, each prepared with the depth of flavour that’s earned us our reputation.
The grill is where The 71 really comes into its own. Our chefs work with premium cuts including Argentine sirloin, Black Angus ribeye, the signature Wagyu steak and our showstopping 1kg Tomahawk — alongside flame-kissed lamb chops, chicken supreme steak and the legendary 71 mixed grill. If you prefer seafood, you’ll find zesty sea bass, salmon elegance, grilled tiger prawns and lobster tail with tagliatelle, all cooked with the same care.
Looking for something a little more relaxed? We serve a full range of gourmet burgers — including our Wagyu Luxe burger, Korean fried chicken burger and Mexican spicy beef — plus a “Little Legend” kids’ menu so the youngest guests are looked after too. Whatever you fancy, The 71 has a dish for it.
A great meal deserves a great drink alongside it, and our drinks menu is built to match. From freshly squeezed juices and house lemonades to artisan sodas and premium soft drinks, every option on our menu is designed to complement the food coming out of our kitchen — not compete with it.
For something a little more special, our signature mocktail menu offers beautifully crafted creations made with fresh fruit, herbs and house-made syrups. They’re presented with the same attention to detail as everything else at The 71 — perfect for toasting a birthday, an anniversary, or simply the end of a long week. We also serve a curated selection of teas, coffees and dessert drinks to round off your meal in style.
Ask your server for a recommendation when you arrive — our team knows the menu inside out and will happily pair the right drink with whatever you’ve ordered, whether that’s a smoky grilled steak, a fragrant biryani, or one of our spicier wok dishes.
From our premium steak cuts to our daily seafood, every ingredient is hand-selected and prepared from scratch. Nothing rushed, nothing compromised.
Our kitchen is led by experienced chefs who specialise in flavour-layering and fusion cooking, drawing from Asian, Middle Eastern and classic grill traditions.
From premium steaks and seafood to biryanis, burgers and a kids' menu, there's something for every guest at the table — and every dish on our menu is fully halal.
