Smoke & Salt has announced the closure of its Brixton pop-up before opening its first bricks and mortar site in Tooting later this year.

The final service at the lauded restaurant concept – Marina O’Loughlin called it “properly exciting” – which serves small plates centred on “modern dining/ancient techniques”, will be Saturday February 29.

The founders said: “We’re feeling a mixture of sadness and elation to announce that Saturday 29th February will be our last service in our beloved shipping container in Pop Brixton.

“We’ve seen so many regular faces this side of the New Year and we want to welcome customers old and new in before we move.

“Everyone is asking when we’ll be opening our Tooting Site. Remi and myself are tentatively hoping to have the doors open by the end of March but we’ll keep you all updated, promise.”
