"A converted Truman’s pub in Peckham with green leather everywhere, vintage light fittings, and an aura of glorious artsy-fartsy house party, this outpost of South African restaurant Kudu is achingly cool. Wear a nice jacket, order a Smokey Kudu vermouth cocktail, and admit that you might actually care about your birthday, just a little bit. Or a whole black bream’s worth." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
