Places to eat and drink in Peckham this summer
The Gin and Lamb Pop-up Cafe
On the weekend of 24th-26th June Son Gallery will host The Gin and Lamb. It’s located on top of Peckham’s famous Bussey Building which offers a stunning view over London. The cafe will be serving, you’ve guessed it, gin and lamb. The former will be provided by G & J Greenall and the latter will be cooked by Xhon at Frog on The Green deli (ex-chef at The Square). There will also be Copeland Book Market plus music, photography and art exhibitions – all mixed up with that unique Peckham energy. You can’t beat it. Press release below (see it bigger on Flickr).

Frank’s Campari Bar
Frank’s Campari Bar will be back on the roof of the multi-storey car park from 1st July to 30th September along with the Bold Tendencies exhibition. It really is a fun experience drinking Campari cocktails on top of a multi-storey car park in the middle of pumping Peckham. Others agree – it received a whopping 45,000 visitors in 2010.

The Meatwagon at The Rye
The Rye Pub are serving Meatwagon burgers and other goodies such as this incredibly good smoked pork sandwich (below) which comes with BBQ sauce and slaw plus a smoked beef carpaccio and a ‘mushroom double Swiss’ – a new burger with sliced mushrooms oozing around in loads of melted Swiss cheese.

Dinner at Anderson & Co.
Cafe/deli Anderson’s do a weekly evening dinner on a Wednesday (BYO booze) and also host evenings with other local cooks including Sally Butcher from Persepolis. I went to the first one and it was brilliant, read about it here.

Other Food Shops and Restaurants
I’ve made a list of Peckham’s best food shops here, a nifty little map of places to eat and drink here and you can find all posts about local restaurants on my Peckham page here.
Enjoy the ‘summer’!

Great roundup thanks Helen… So long as newborn baby is playing ball I’ll be there on fri night, sounds really interesting !
Looking fwd to checking out the rye too. By the way did you know that the Thai chef from the rye is now at the Old nuns head if you still want your yummy pad Thai fix

I suddenly want to live equidistant to Peckham and Brixton because right now there is so much going in both that I can’t keep up.
I have to finally get to try the Meatwagon this summer come hell or highwater and I look forward to more lazy Negroni filled afternoons at Frank’s. I just hope they sort the toilets out this time. It was grim last year…

Good article, thanks. I must really get myself south of the river to explore this summer…

I’m thinking they probabally don’t do delivery to Cornwall for the smoked pork sandwich – shame!
