Lamp Post is a Korean BBQ brand with a clear roadmap for UK-wide expansion, starting from London. It aims to serve the the UK's £2 billion Korean food market that is growing immensely yet remains severely underserved, plagued by inauthenticity, overpricing, and lacklustre food. Lamp Post offers a complete turnaround, tackling these very problems.
We offer authentic Korean BBQ experience, specialising in pork over premium grade charcoal, accompanied by complimentary, unlimited banchan (small Korean sides) - which other establishments always charge for.
Alongside that, we serve just a handful of Korean classics to pair with the BBQ.
These classics are also designed to be delivery-friendly.
Lamp Post follows a customer-centric ethos showcasing Korean hospitality. Hence, Lamp Post does not rush its guests out to enforce table turns. Instead, Lamp Post incentivises timely exits with homemade Korean soft‑serves on the way out.
1. Food
Every Korean restaurant in London does the same thing, serving 50 different things that look or taste nothing like what you'd have in Korea. Customers aren't happy.
Lamp Post, with a Michelin Guide chef as the Director, focuses on just a handful of dishes with standards that rivals Korea itself.
-
2. Price
Korean BBQ in London costs £42 per head on average. Lamp Post brings that down to £29, making it very accessible for its core audience: students and young professionals.
-
3. Looks
Lamp Post captures the look and feel of 1980s Korea, down to the smallest detail, making it a natural magnet for social media attention.
Table service, deliveries, and takeaway.
