"At some point, between eating comforting Antipodean dishes and admiring the mint green banquettes, you’ll realise you’ve been at The Laundry for three hours and have planned to redecorate your living room to match the Brixton spot. It’s perfect for big-group birthdays—it’s free to bring your own cake if you get the set menu and there’s no corkage on Tuesdays. Plus, there’s a semi-private, laid-back dining room downstairs." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
