A butchery and rotisserie on a cobbled passage in Hampstead. Orders used to come in by phone, email and Instagram DM. Harley's went live on its own Slerp site in 48 hours, then took 1,000 direct orders in its first month.

A butcher's counter on Bakers Passage

Harley's opened in May 2025 on a cobbled passage off Oriel Place, in Hampstead. A butchery and a rotisserie under one roof.

Galician rotisserie chicken, cooked for set time slots. Dry-aged beef prepared by Oliver Harley. Sandwiches, charcuterie, cheese and a deli to take home.

Demand came fast, mostly from Instagram. But orders arrived by phone, email and DM. Hard to track. Slow to handle. Impossible to scale. Harley's wanted its own channel, with its own brand and its own customers, and no marketplace in the middle.

Their site, in Harley's crimson

The gold wordmark. The crimson from their brand guidelines on every button. A customer ordering from Harley's only ever sees Harley's.
