I went to the Bike Shed once. I ordered a coffee and a Diet Coke - and after 50 mins it still hadn't arrived. So I walked out. The staff were every happy talking to each other - possibley about the comission on 50 quid T shirts.
I did a track day at Brands with The Bike Shed a couple of years ago. Most of the cilentele were great, helpfule and engaging. The track day was basically for people who don't do track days.
The Bike Shed staff would only engage with the groovy people. Unfortnately I didn't have tattoos, a man bun, or a ginger beard
I went to the Bike Shed once. Ordered a coffee and a burger. It came in a reasonable time frame and was very nice, sauce shop ketchup (one of the best ketchups IMHO) was on the table. The staff were quite good. I don't have tattoos, a man bun or a ginger beard either. I haven't been back though as I don't particularly like going into that there London (and I, somehow, got lost on the way home despite it only being a mile away from my office ).
How do bikers have to dress then? I hadn't realised true bikers didn't have tats, beards and man buns! Next you'll all be telling me you don't like Henry Cole!
Went to the Bike Shed main place in Shoreditch purely by accident last year, as we were hungry and in that vicinity. We got both good food, and good service, and it was interesting to realise what kind of place it actually was - very random!
New workplace has an office not far from there, so I might wander over again. And maybe saunter over to the docks next year if I'm about, and somebody reminds me...

BikeShed has a "code of conduct" which makes them look like a branch of the Mormons. Everything listed could have been covered by "don't act like a twat". It was enough to put me off ever going there as I appreciate some pillock entertaining the rest of us by making a complete arse of himself in public.

I don't like Henry Cole.
I met him at the RockStore once while he was filming his show. Managed to avoid him & the camera, altho there were multiple shots that showed my ZRX. He'd be right at home at the BikeShed, I bet that even sell silly hats for anyone who wants to emulate him.

I work a stone's throw from Tobacco Dock. I did notice a overpowering smell of beard oil and £10 coffee that weekend....

Very noble of you to provide that entertainment for everyone else, it's a shame you're not going
