We fitted a new traditional Victorian awning to Honi Poke in High Holborn yesterday. We have improved the Victorian awning over time to ensure they can cope with the inclement British weather. For example, we have replaced some of the boxing with a more resistant aluminium casing at the top and back, as in the old timber version the water or snow would rest on the wood and slowly eat into it. We still use hardwood cheeks and a timber front lath and tacker. The arms are bent to suit the exact requirements of the building and the awning is operated with a pole down pole. Honi Poke serve Hawaiian poke bowls and ethical fast casual food which is delicious.
