Signature Cocktails & Dining Experiences
At Control Room B, the experience moves easily from day into night. Join us for all-day drinks or an intimate evening and enjoy a menu designed to sit comfortably alongside our wine & champagne list, signature cocktails and relaxed atmosphere. Behind the bar, cocktails take centre stage, thoughtfully made with balanced flavours and elegant presentation, ideal for unhurried conversation. Alcohol-free options receive the same level of care, while a small selection of light bites and toasted favourites makes sharing simple, whether you’re stopping by briefly or settling in for longer.
For guests who’d like to extend the evening, Control Room B also offers a separate partnership with Noci, bringing modern, seasonal Italian cooking into the Battersea Power Station experience. Start with house-baked focaccia or a few plates to share, such as ’Nduja arancini with Parmesan foam or burrata with broad beans and dill oil. When you’re ready, move on to comforting pastas, from Noci’s carbonara with guanciale and confit egg yolk to strozzapreti with creamed courgettes, lemon and basil.
Back at the bar, cocktails nod to the building’s heritage in a more playful way. Drinks like the citrus-led Synchroscope, the smooth Voltmeter, or the richer Battersea Brick are designed to complement food rather than compete with it. Whether you’re visiting for drinks and a few bites or planning a relaxed meal with Noci, Control Room B is a place to eat, drink, and linger, where good food, well-made drinks, and an easy atmosphere come together naturally.
