Organic and fairtrade café and bar Unpackaged’s Hackney venture will close tomorrow. The eatery in Richmond Road’s last day of trading will be 7 January.

A blog post on its website stated that the business had been “left with premises far too big for our needs and our only option is to sell the lease”.

The company will continue to trade elsewhere and is now expected to focus on its core retail business.
