And if you’re around on a Sunday, the roast is not to be missed: dry-aged beef, crispy beef-dripping roast potatoes, and ginormous Yorkshire puddings. Basically, great food, good people, and a place you’ll want to come back to.

Blues Kitchen Brixton is a vibe! Amazing live music, great food, and top-tier cocktails. The BBQ wings and mac & cheese were spot on, and the staff made us feel right at home. Perfect spot for a fun night out—can’t wait to come back!

There were only us & another table. The spinach didn’t arrive until we’d finished the main course. We had a good time with the waiter over the “Secret” wine that was served with the Sausage & Mash ….. I was waiting for my dining partner to arrive…. With my Gin & Tonic & was asked by a waitress did I want to eat & drink something… a bit odd I eat in Davys often.
