Harden's says
Part of the ongoing foodie gentrification of Peckham: this modern wine bar/bistro (or as they say a ‘neighbourhood kitchen, wine bar and shop’) was a fairly grown-up arrival to the ’hood in late 2019 (and recently won a Michelin Bib Gourmand as a result). It serves a well-chosen selection of wines with interesting Mediterranean-esque small plates for accompaniment.
Harden's survey result
Summary
This “great sharing-plates restaurant with very accommodating staff” – and a “good wine selection”, its primary focus – has been a linchpin in the emergence of Peckham’s going-out scene (“I’ve never had a bad meal here: in principle I’m not a fan of small plates but here it all works”).
Summary
This “exceptional local wine room”, one of the prime movers and shakers in the Peckham foodie scene, presents an “interesting list of wines” in a “fun and unpretentious atmosphere”. There’s also a short but well-received menu of modern European nibbles and larger plates. A long-heralded spin-off called ‘Little Cellars’ was due to open in Camberwell in 2023.
Summary
This “fantastic local wine bar is worth a trip” to Peckham, where it is a star of the foodie scene that has blossomed in recent years. An “informal” operation that “always has an interesting selection of food and unusual wines” – “the menu’s not huge”, but the modern European dishes are well thought-out, and “both food and wine represent very good value for what you’re getting”. (In 2023, they will launch a spin-off in Camberwell, called ‘Little Cellars’.)
Summary
“The guys here are obsessed with wine and it shows!” – This modern ‘neighbourhood kitchen, wine bar and shop’ is part of the ongoing foodie gentrification of Peckham and a relatively ‘grown up’ arrival to the ’hood in late 2019. It offers “imaginative” Mediterranean-esque small plates from a list that’s “varied, but crucially also very delicious. Love that you can buy bottles of what you had to take home (though they do operate a delivery service if it's too much to carry!)”
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
