Barbershops Aren’t the Only Place to Find That Good Gist & Community

You know that vibe people talk about? The good gist (that’s the laughter, the real conversation, the banter), the feeling of belonging that flows at barbershops? That same magic happens at ACCANE.

After you step out looking sharp, step straight into ACCANE, where the good times continue over authentic jollof rice (a beloved West African tomato-spiced rice dish) and jerk chicken (smoky, spiced Caribbean grilled chicken). At ACCANE, we’ve created something beyond just a restaurant. We have a Community Table where you and your mates can pull up a chair, kick back with your fresh cut, and soak in real connection. Grab a cold drink, share a plate of food that tastes like it came straight from someone’s kitchen, and let the conversation flow.

Use our WiFi, ask our staff for advice on anything from the best barber for your style to hidden gems around Sunderland, or simply exist in a space where you’re genuinely welcome. We’re not just serving food. We’re serving belonging. A place where you’re not just another customer, you’re part of the family.

After you look fresh, come taste fresh. That’s the ACCANE difference.
