The masterminds behind Big Chill have created a very successful brand encompassing a festival, record label and two London bars (one of which is called The Big Chill House). Our most recent visit to the simply named The Big Chill Bar just off Brick Lane found a swathe of Londoners very happy to embrace the formula, in fact too many of them. Negotiating through the crowds we certainly were struggling to "chill." Perhaps those lucky enough to perch their bottoms on a cube were able to feel the vibe, but for us being nailed onto a cross (no offence Jesus lovers) in the middle of the M25 would have been as pleasant. The outside area at the front provided a modicum of respite and there must be praise for the bar staff, who made light work of long queues. It was hard to really appreciate the music, which wasn't at all bad, so whenever we venture back will either arrive early or aim for a quieter time.
