Brixton

Over the bank holiday weekend, Brixton became the first place in the UK to get a brand new PizzaExpress that looks more like a fast food joint than a pizzeria. Putting the express into PizzaExpress this latest branch looks nothing like the restaurants of old, with self-ordering machines at the front and with the option to order in, grab and go or even book a delivery.

The Brixton store is the first in a rollout of new small PizzaExpresses. A press release also mentioned that Finsbury Park and Earls Court would be next in line, and we already have intel on where the Finsbury Park

Malika Green and Paschelle Brown have been running All Roads as sold-out supperclubs for three years. That's along with working a wide variety of restaurants, including Patty & Bun, Daddy Bao, Chotto Matte, Burger & Beyond, Soho House, Lai Rai and lots more besides. And now they're taking the next step and launching All Roads as a permanent restaurant in Brixton. 

The menu at All Roads will continue the style of their supperclubs - comfort food that's inspired by their shared Caribbean heritage, as well as British, European and Southern American influences. So you'll find

They've been a mainstay of Brixton Village for the past eight years, now the same team behind Guzzl deli are opening Guzzl Canteen, a gourmet hot dog and rum bar.

They've been popping up across town and now nose-to-tail, live-fire cooking experts Whole Beast are about to open their own permanent place in Brixton. 

Taking over the space that was Shrub and Shutter, founders Sam and Alicja Bryant are promising a restaurant that really makes the most of their nose-to-tail approach or, as they say, "doing cool sh*t

It was the competition that helped launch Adejoké Bakare's Chishuru, which became one of London's best restaurants, and now Brixton Village has announced the winners of its 2025 incubator competition.

Over in Brixton two seasoned restaurateurs are teaming up for what sounds like a very promising rotisserie restaurant. They're Kieran Monteiro (previously Boma) and Sam Mousawi (who ran the Park Road Kitchen Group in Battersea) and their new place, Chuck's, brings rotisserie chicken and pork to Brixton Village at pretty decent prices. 

Set inside Brixton Village Market,

The London restaurant scene is notoriously fickle and what's hot one day can be past its best the next. When that happens you need to be ready to pivot and that's what Matt Harris & Tommy Kempton, the duo behind chicken shop Other Side Fried (and Ploussard) have done. They're in the middle of turning their Brixton place into a burger restaurant. But not any burger restaurant - this one's going to be serving up

South West London wine lovers who are looking for a nice bar and bottle shop in their neighbourhood should make a note of the arrival of the Vining Street Wine Club in Brixton.

Their slogan actually is "Wine without the bullshit".

To that end, they'll be
