The Rye pub in Peckham, recently taken over by new tenants The Capital Pub Company, is now the home of the Meatwagon, aka Meateasy, to its first a fixed location after leaving a room above a pub in New Cross. It is cooking at this Peckham pub a few nights a week, taking advantage of the 200-seater outdoor area.
Expect a sampler of Meateasy's greatest hits, from big, sloppy burgers made with prime ingredients (28-day dry-aged steak in a freshly baked sourdough bun) to skinny fries, home-made 'slaw and crispy-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-middle onion rings.
Be warned though that, on our visit, the food simply wasn't up to the previous Meateasy standards when it was in its prime.
Things are clearly still in a state of flux, but as went to press, Monday nights were being turned over to other street traders for pop-up evenings. So you may find traders such as Kolkata Street Food, Choc Star, Ca Phe VN, The Dogfather and more besides.
In the meantime the pub is not hugely different under new ownership, but a refurb is planned at the end of the summer.

Comments & ratings
Went there today for lunch, truly awful, avoid at all costs.
It used to be a great place for Sunday lunch and was always packed. Went today and the it was virtually empty. The ONLY thing on offer is really greasy burgers and second rate chips. All served up on enamel plates and forget about cutlery.
The staff are really unfriendly. I asked if there was something I could order for my three year olds, and the bar man told me he didn't know what three year olds eat. When I asked for cutlery, some very rude waitress just pointed to a table near there door - there was not cutlery.
It's really sad that a local favourite has been turned into a sleazy dive with an unkempt feel. But people are clearly voting with their feet so don't suppose it will be around for long.
