🎈🎈🎈new dinner menu live tonight. Open at 6pm 🎈🎈🎈💥

20/05/2026

We’ve decided to completely tear up the food menu, and start again. Some of your favourites have gone (RIP oxtail croquettes), but we’re confident that what we’ve got on offer is perhaps the best food that’s ever come out of this kitchen.

For you Sunday regulars: that hasn’t changed too much, so don’t worry about that. But everything else has had a nice glow up. On from tomorrow, bookings via the link in our bio ❤️

Tomorrow, we’re closed for a private event, then Friday we’ve got our first Friday night shoobz with . Still a few free tickets left, hit up their bio to get yours.

Just been sent this screenshot of some dude’s Hinge profile. Absolutely impeccable taste on display here, 10/10 no notes.

So, obviously a champion like this guy will be snapped up instantly, so you’ll have to settle for making alternative Valentine’s plans this year. Fortunately has got you covered with her bottomless brunch down here on 15th Feb. All info via the profiles above, with music from and our guy . Get tickets via the link in Simone’s bio ❤️❤️❤️

Now I’m gonna say something. This is absolutely no disrespect to the new genre of social media food people, to whom we definitely owe a lot. But the uncle in me finds it particularly nice seeing our name printed right there in black and white, in an actual newspaper.

The last couple months have seen the mainstream print media discover eating rice and peas with their Sunday lunch, and accordingly saw us included in a bunch of best-of lists, putting us amongst the top roasts in London. We’ve gotten shoutouts in the Telegraph (pictured in poor quality as I couldn’t get my hands on a copy), the Financial Times, the Metro, Timeout, a bunch of others we don’t remember. As such, we’ve seen a whole bunch of new faces, while still holding space for our loyal regulars who’ve been coming in weekly for years. Feels good, man.

We’ve got some space left for this Sunday. If you wanna check us out for the first time, or the 21st time, welcome back. Bookings as always, via the link in our bio ✌🏽

Curry goat is on the menu now. Every day except Sundays. Gonna go ahead and put this out there, but: our curry goat comes with white rice, because this is the one true way of serving it. Rice and peas and curry goat simply does not go. The flavours clash, the colours clash, it’s just a mess. I had never heard of this peculiar combination until I moved to this country, and I foolishly bowed to pressure and sold it for a short while here when we first opened, but enough is enough. Putting my foot down and being true to myself: we shall never sell curry goat with rice and peas again.

Book a table via the link in our bio and come and argue with us.

Are we wrong? What do you eat with your curry?

Happy bank holiday Sunday, lads. Surprised that so many of you have booked for lunch today when carnival is also occurring, but we’ll take it. We’ve got some tables left today, and as a reminder: as is bank holiday tradition we’re open for roast tomorrow (Monday) also. Book for either (or both) via the link in our bio 🙌🏽
