The Fields Beneath

The Fields Beneath

A coffee shop in North London on a mission to show the world that food and coffee can be delicious, convenient and affordable whilst being entirely plant-based.

The Fields Beneath, NW5

Life was good, lunch was delicious, the team grew, the food kept getting better...  and then one of us went vegan.

This wasn't any dietary requirement kind of veganism, and the one that went vegan first is so untrendy it certainly wasn't that - he fell head first into the ethics behind it and realised it was do  or die - for the animals and for the business.

The first and original one - make coffee, make food, make it tasty.

In Kentish Town, veganism is now all those things.

We plan to open more shops, and in doing so will make it easy to be vegan in more places.

This London coffee shop’s goal is to make tasty coffee and food and to make veganism normal.

But that wasn’t always the case for The Fields Beneath!

All to be enjoyed with their coffee, lattes, or teas!

It is a great place for a quick grab and go meal or to spend a cozy afternoon with coffee and treats.

The Big Review: The Fields Beneath, Prince Of Wales Road ...

Review analysis
food   drinks  

From the moment we heard that owners Gavin and Sibylle were naming their cafe after local historian Gillian Tindall’s seminal (and much-thumbed) 1977 book, we had high hopes.

Fuelled, in fact, by years of walking past Kentish Town West station daily and thinking how nice it’d be to see a cafe open in the vacant shop space.

What surprised us is the juxtaposition of sweet and savoury: a brioche-like ‘dough’ filled with an intense savoury beef, smoked in chicory wood and then slow cooked in tomatoes and carrots for six hours.

Finally, as you’d expect from the former owner of coffee stall Sandwich Spoon, on the bridge over to Primrose Hill, the Square Mile beans are ace.

Gavin was quick to explain that the beans change every week, too.

UPDATE: Cafe That Ditched Dairy After Watching Youtube Video ...

Review analysis

Owners of a popular cafe in London recently decided to stop using cow's milk after watching a video on youtube (see below) exposing the horrors of the dairy industry.

They are now displaying a notice in their window explaining why, which reads: The video the notice refers to is "Dairy is Scary" by Erin Janus which has amassed over 1.6 million views.

Viewer discretion is advised - the dairy industry is not pleasant.

We're happy to report The Field's Beneath cafe is now fully vegan.

The cafe is ranked as one of the best coffee spots in London, located at 52A Prince of Wales Road, Kentish Town, London.

A lovely little neighbourhood coffee bar hangout right next door to Kentish Town West overground station.

'The Fields Beneath' is a classic about Kentish Town local history written by long-time resident Gillian Tindall, and the name is appropriate for this coffee bar: TFB has a real neighbourhood feel.

The place is tiny, with just four tables but ample space for the takeaway crowd (many emanating from the Overground station next door).

TFB originally bought beans from a variety of roasters, but early in 2015 switched to roasting its own in collaboration with Coffee by Tate, with guest suppliers including Roundhill and Red Brick.

TFB has become an integral and much-loved part of the KT family.
