Grab a fork, because there’s a new speakeasy about to open in London and it’s all about balls (thankfully, it’s the edible kind).

Introducing Ballroom, the new concept that merges New York vibes with delicious, mouthwatering flavours from Italy.

The quirky venue was founded by Christian Arden, who spent his childhood in San Gimignano, where he watched his Italian grandmother cook up tasty dishes.

Ballroom contains both a diner and a cocktail bar – and so isn’t technically just a speakeasy – but hipsters are bound to love it all the same.

The ‘world class balls’ are hand-rolled and will be available in a range of meats including beef, pork, Thai chicken and Moroccan lamb.

Of course, there is also a fish and a vegan option, in addition to the ‘special of the day’ (mystery balls).

All balls are served with a base, including pasta – which changes daily– couscous, creamy mash or wilted greens.

If you’d like some add-ons, you can also order homemade slaw or salad.

‘With Ballroom it’s back to basics for me, cool interior, fabulous food and great drinks,’ said owner Christian.

‘I just love meatballs and our vegan balls are epic.’

The venue will officially launch on 1 May on Eastcheap, near Monument tube station.

Go, satisfy all your ball-craving needs.
