Thank you but I have to say most Britonites I know do seem to like 'Villaaage' rather a lot.
Much better than Villaaage

EDIT: Crispy is not most Brixtonites, no sir.
If I'm getting pizza's delivered, I get them from Oregano. Consistently good and tastes like proper pizza
Them or Firezza usually for delivery
Occasionally if feeling slobbish/hungover/skint then Pizza GoGo.

I'm finally going to the Electric on thursday. Pal has bought me a ticket to dance to Carl Cox. Mid week clubbing
I have not heard good things from the Hoot foodwise

The jerk chicken guy is still there and there's also a pizza oven in the corner that becomes operational at the weekend. Quite why the management of the hob thought it was a good idea to introduce food competition within its own garden is a mystery to me...I have not heard good things from the Hoot foodwise

Extra $$$$ for them I imagine.

Possibly....although from what I understand they don't make much from renting the space out. Most of their cash comes from selling lots and lots and lots of near-£4 pints in plastic glasses after 10pm on Fridays and weekends. The place gets packed late on.
As for the food thing, an almighty row broke out between two of the chefs/food people, which has resulted in El Panzon not being there any more...

Yeah I agree...although they put some decent bands on, I rarely stay late into the evening. It's been my local for 15 years and I regularly drink there after work with mates and watch the football at the weekends, but the nights aren't like they used to be and I can't fucking abide pints in a plastic glass, no real beer/cider and security/bouncers throwing their weight around after 10pm

Yep...you can't beat the garden on a day like that. Especially with your back to the marble wall which warms up throughout the day and keeps you warm as the sun goes down...

Aye. Big queues, burly bouncers patting me down and plastic glasses never adds up to much of a fun night for me. It's usually alright in the week though.Yeah I agree...although they put some decent bands on, I rarely stay late into the evening.

The guys in Seven are charming; their booze well priced.
Franco Manca is easily better than Agile Rabbit.
Go-Go pizza is tolerable, Oregano pretty good but Basilico is very much the best. Firezza is too expensive.

Not a good strip for restaurants. Even the soon-to-be occupied corner site would be better

Somewhere at Clapham Junction. But delivers. Amazing four cheese option
My poker circle always insists on Basilico!

Can't try. They don't deliver here
Outrageous. They reach Leander Rd from their Lavender Hill base. Or used to.
I'm in two minds about Seven. I like how it looks, the service is fine, the drinks and food are nice. But it's a bar and I really don't like bars, trendy or otherwise. I also find it prohibitively expensive if you try to eat even a tiny bit of food. Also the last time I was there there was a table of obnoxiously loud people all dressed in sports gear - rugger buggers in Brixton?
boohoo
No.
Which one? Both are good but Yum D in MArket Row was better...I think....
BTW - I like Seven - they have some high chairs and plenty of room for pushchairs - they open early, they have Wi-fi. I can sit quietly.
And they aren't a major shopping brand.
We do slag off all our independent food places... what do we want? burger king, pizza express, Wagamama, Giraffe, Strada, Iguanas, Gourmet Burger place, All bar one!!!!

According to the worldsbestbars, the best two bars in all of Brixton are the Brixton Bar and Grill ("combines service and style with gritty urban edge") and Seven (" ramshackle and rickety but charming space").

Has no one else noticed the completely out-of-place Chillbox yoghurt bar roughly oppposite Seven?
It looks like something out of Westfield Stratford

Or, contextually, that grand design on Lyham road.
Egregious is the only word for it.
