Wine bar with small plates, European focus, Negronis
"This neighbourhood bistro and wine bar is run by three friends, who all hail from this part of South East London. Original small plates have a rustic style; they’re made for sharing, so choose three or four per person – if you’re in a group, consider ordering the whole menu. The wine list features some interesting small producers and they even have some wines on tap." - Michelin Inspector
"Peckham Cellars, one of London's wine-focussed restaurants. Some of them, like Soif and Noble Rot, also come with the kind of rustic warmth that’s ideal for the winter." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"You might hear ‘Peckham Cellars’ and instinctively picture an episode of Only Fools And Horses where Del Boy tries to brew natural wine from a bag of dried apricots. But that would be a mistake. No, when you hear ‘Peckham Cellars’ you should immediately think of great Negronis. More specifically, their £12 three-serve pre-mixed negronis that they’re delivering nationwide. If you’re a Peckham local, please forgive the Del Boy joke and know that you can also get express delivery or opt for click and collect." - heidi lauth beasley
"If you live in or around Peckham and like Negronis, we have good news. This neighbourhood spot is not only delivering wine, survival packs, and beer, they’re also delivering three-serve negroni bottles for £12. Check to see if they’re delivering to your postcode on their website." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Peckham Cellars is where we like to go to pick at bits of this and that, while sipping wine and getting some top-tier gossiping done. The menu lends itself to leisurely grazing sessions where you can pop an oozy scamorza croqueta between anecdotes, and split a chicken schnitzel as your friend discusses their recent split. Outside, under the heat lamps, is best for propping up with your wine cooler and bottles if you want to get loud, or head to the bar for casual-feeling dates. The service at this Peckham spot isn’t rushed, the lighting is low, and there’s a twinkling disco ball if you were still in any doubt that this place wants you to have a good time. The menu changes monthly but it’s always European-leaning, with a focus on Spanish dishes. The food is great and the mood is set for deep and meaningful conversations that will last longer than your bottle of Riesling. photo credit: Issy Croker photo credit: Issy Croker photo credit: Issy Croker Pause Unmute Food Rundown Spanish Tortilla On the strength of this tortilla alone, we’d sign a petition for tortillas to be on more menus. The eggs are buttery and the aioli is creamy. It’s decadent but simple, perfectly cooked, and an ideal size for sharing. PlayMute video credit: Sinéad Cranna Chorizo & Scamorza Croquetas Croquetas are two a penny in wine bars these days, and some are penny-sized too. Not these baby boulders. These are worth ordering because of the not-too-thick, extra crunchy, golden brown coating, and the mild, melty scamorza cheese which plays nicely with the smoky chorizo. PlayMute video credit: Sinéad Cranna Chicken Schnitzel Another simple-sounding dish, but one that forced us to raise a hand midway through our friend's 20-minute recap of their day to stop them and announce, “This is great”. Juicy chicken, yes. An ideal ratio of crispy crumb to meat, absolutely. But also tangy capers scattered about and a simple salad that is so strong with garlic we’re confident in saying that Peckham Cellars does not have a vampire problem. photo credit: Sinéad Cranna" - Sinéad Cranna
