Brixton food & drink news: new restaurants, bars, pop ups, cafes and more

It was pretty lively on station road with a growing crowd and sound system, this was around 9:30 though so not sure how long that carried on for.
 
I went to the Railway last night. They were following the rules precisely, so it felt more like sitting in a restaurant than a pub and I can't say I particularly enjoyed it. Having the bell at 9.30 was downright weird and, of course, depressing as fuck.
 
Tulse Hill Tavern was a little ........ "overzealous"
Understandable

Tried to log in with my shiny new NHS App - but they weren't set up to use it and their bar code log in goes to some other Met Pub Co web site where you enter details and then get a code to show to the doorkeeper to prove you had done it - before they let you over the threshold
 
And the last orders bell was a sign of immediate eviction (the bell reminded me of the 80's).

That's annoying. The Railway made you add your details with the option to scan with the NHS app, which is what you're supposed to do.

Maybe the Tavern is trying to sneak in an email-gathering promotional use for their contact tracing?

Nah - I vote that it was just a lack of joined up thinking.
Coupled with general government incompetence in getting the message out (and everything else they touch).

PS - If you do meat, the Oktoberfest food was good and (IMHO) well priced. Although the lack of steins was disappointing - perhaps they also transmit Covid?

Haven't eaten meat for around 30 years. so I'll be swerving that one!

Saturday night in a 10pm curfew pub – Railway Tulse Hill, Sat 26th Sept 2020

Yesterday, we ran a photo feature documenting the closed bars of Brixton after the 10pm curfew, and last night we thought we’d check out what it’s like to drink in a bar with the new re…

Im told Blues Kitchen has decided that they do not want to offer their decent happy hour on Thursday and Friday early evenings anymore (was 50% off drinks between 5-7).

That was the only reason i ever went in there.

Happy hours are an increasing rarity these days. I can only think of the POW and a few of those restaurant/nightclubs on Clapham high street that offer it now.
 
Does anyone know if the market house is open? Every time ive gone past, asmittedly mostly i nthe daytime, its looked very much closed. And are they doing the booking boolocks?
 
Visited San Marino for the first time in ages - it's got a cleaner layout inside but it doesn't feel the safest place I've been as it was quite busy inside - I felt compelled to keep my mask on between gulps of coffee (which wasn't bad - a soya Americano costs £2.40).
Their wi-fi has always been disappointingly flaky but this is taking the piss. Are we back in 1998 or something?

Welcome to San Marino Wi-Fi
Charges are: £1.00 for 1 hour and £2.20 for 2 hours. Purchase the voucher code from the till assistant.
Please Note: Wi-Fi services are offline between 12 - 2pm Monday - Friday, 11am - 2pm Weekends

If you work out how it works let us know. I was going to order from them yesterday and the available slots were 10am-5pm (no narrower) with the earliest on 5 August.

Edit: just seen from the Buzz article it’s a two hour slot confirmed on the day. That doesn’t really work does it? I want my dinner at dinner time.

Hi everyone and Winot ! I finally got round to ordering a food delivery from the Clink yesterday - it was well worth the wait. Excellent food. They emailed with a delivery slot and then texted with a one hour time. The food is chilled and in containers with very detailed and foolproof instructions on how to reheat it when you are ready to eat. I had fish which was good, but the chicken katsu curry and the jerk chicken were both judged to be 'superb' by my fellow meat eating diners. Not bad value - £4 starters, £8 mains, £3 sides to share and £5 delivery charge as our order was under £60. Mahoosive portions!

It's a bit hard to find the ordering page on the website, so here's the link
