Sad news for south London - Dough Hands’ residency at the Old Nun’s Head pub will be ending next month.

The last service for this near-perfect pizza pop-up will be on April 25, but Dough Hands will continue its original residency across the river at the Spurstowe Arms in London Fields. Phew. 

‘The year wouldn’t have been possible without the team behind it all, so the biggest of big ups to the talented dough hands Nunhead team,’ wrote Dough Hands founder Hannah Drye on Instagram.

‘So it’s bye to Nunhead and south for now! Hopefully we’ll be back in the bits at some point…We are still at the Spurstowe seven days a week, plus we have a new project to announce v soon which the Nunhead team will be getting involved with… so keep ya eyes peeled for that.’

The Old Nun’s Head was last year named Time Out’s best pub in London, topping the list of the finest 50 boozers across the capital. We said: ‘The Old Nun’s Head is incapable of standing still. In recent years it’s become south east London’s favourite unofficial queer venue, thanks to an array of campy entertainment including speed-dating, drag king cabaret, and nights like Pop-Up Dyke Bar and the messy, cream-splattered and highly NSFW Cake Sit.’

Dough Hands features on our list of the best pizza in London, in which we praise the ‘mega New York-style pies.. big and heartily topped behemoths, with brittle (in a good way) crispy crusts and a pleasingly oily array of toppings.’
