About us We're the team behind Crudo and Tiny Wine, two independent hospitality concepts we've built in London over the past few years. Crudo opened in 2019 and has grown into a group of restaurants built around modern Latin American food, strong atmosphere and warm, energetic service. Tiny Wine came out of our love for smaller, more intimate drinking spaces, with a big focus on personality, curation and creating a place people genuinely want to spend time in. A big part of what we've learnt through both brands is that people come back for more than just the food or drinks. They come back for the feeling of the place, the team behind it, and the sense that something thoughtful is being built. Rocola Studio is the next step in that. It gives us the opportunity to create a more flexible space built around a changing programme of chefs, drinks, events and collaborations. A space that can evolve constantly while still being run with a clear point of view and strong operational standards. We're building a place that's creative, ambitious and collaborative. Somewhere guests want to return to regularly, and somewhere chefs are genuinely excited to cook.
