Randomness Guide to London Menu

Pub on Lavender Hill in Battersea.

They advertise live music and DJs, and there's a built-in DJ booth to one side. Much of the space is bare of tables and chairs, presumably for dancing purposes. The dancefloor/standing area is adorned with a couple of pillars decorated to resemble palm trees.

Kake visited on a Monday early evening in March 2010. There are no handpumps for real ale, so I went for Strongbow; the friendly barmaid persuaded me to upgrade from a half (£1.50) to a pint at the Happy Hour price of £2. (Happy Hour is 5pm-7pm Mon-Thu.)

A couple of TVs were showing WWE wrestling, with the sound up quite loud. There were quite a few other customers when I arrived around 6pm, and conversation was loud and animated. I didn't have trouble finding a seat, though. The heating was turned up quite high, to the point where I found it a bit too warm (but then I'm one of those strange people who likes to have the window open year-round, so it'd probably be OK for most people).

They do Caribbean food, but we're not sure what times. As of March 2010, they were advertising a special fish menu on Fridays; the regular menu had mains (e.g. jerk pork, curry goat) priced at £6-7 and sides priced from 75p for hard dough bread up to £2 for rice and peas.

Accessibility: One fairly low step up to get in. Some of the seating is on a dais, up two more steps. There's a step down to the toilets.
