A pub and bouchon by Dave Strauss and Henry Harris. Three Compasses, a pub for the last 300 years will offer a good range of beers, wines and spirits with a simple menu reflective of Bouchon Racine upstairs.

You will find Bouchon Racine upstairs overlooking Cowcross Street, inspired by the bouchons of Lyon and the bistros of Paris, we set out to provide unashamed French cooking with a French led wine list and some fine apéritifs and digéstifs in an informal setting.

Work with us

If you like good wines, spirits and beers and take pride and enjoy looking after people then please do consider joining us and get in touch.

In the kitchen the food is traditional at heart and made in the old fashioned way  with a sharp knife, pots, pans and a hot oven.

We aren’t a home for tweezer wielding water bath warriors. If you are a chef who is a cook first then we would love to have you on the team.
