Randomness Guide to London Menu

Pub in Brixton.

The ground floor is a spare-looking room with high stools clustered around round tables. Another room on the first floor has lower stools plus padded leather armchairs and a sofa. The overall look is a rather strange combination of industrial (tables with brushed metal tops on bases made from large tripod clamps, stools made from bicycle parts) and twee (puce-painted walls). There's also a reasonable-sized seating area outside on the pavement.

Kake visited on a Thursday afternoon in September 2014. I was the first customer of the day, arriving just as they opened at 4:30pm. When I left half an hour later, there was one other. Music was playing, relatively interesting rock, louder than would have been ideal for conversation if there had been more people in, but fine when the place was empty.

All ten handpumps were clipped for interesting-looking beers. The staff member on duty was happy to give me advice on what to choose, but didn't offer tasters. A half of Moncada Notting Hill Porter was £2.

Food is limited to pies and scotch eggs (including a vegetarian scotch egg option). Sadly, the scotch eggs hadn't been delivered yet on my visit, so I couldn't try the black pudding scotch egg I fancied.

Accessibility: A small step to get in. All the interior seating on the ground floor is on high stools — the only normal-height seating is either outside or on the first floor. The toilets are halfway up the staircase to the first floor.
