Peckham Refreshment Rooms (CLOSED)

A slick, pared-down, little bar and restaurant, Peckham Refreshment Rooms is located in an art deco block around the back of Peckham Rye station. Evenings tend to attract Peckham’s edgy art scene/boho crowd.

Breakfast and weekend brunch options include granola with yoghurt and honey, Alsace bacon sandwiches, Castilian eggs with sourdough and baked smoked haddock gratin with parmesan and a hard-boiled egg. Lunch includes salt beef sandwiches with pickles and dijon mustard and an orange, rosemary and polenta cake. 

The evening menu features dishes such as warm taleggio with potato, shallots and capers, mackerel paté with pickled fennel and toast, soft polenta with truffle and parmesan and bavette with bone marrow and watercress salad.
