Harden's survey result
Summary
“A must-visit, right by Peckham station” – whose converted Grade II ticket office houses this “excellent” three-year-old: a stand-out even by the area’s lofty standards. “Robust, even macho” dishes, from the smoker and robata grills, are central both to the open kitchen and the menu. Top Tip – “worth a visit for the WC alone” – beautifully restored, old, Victorian bogs.

Summary
The tastefully restored, Grade II listed, former ticket office of Peckham Rye station is the venue for this year-old venture, named for its ‘live fire’ mode of cooking from the large smoker and robata grills which are central to the open kitchen. Open from breakfast on – and serving a flatbread menu at lunch – fans hail its “amazing and interesting food” (“I daren’t rate it too highly for fear we won’t be able to get a table!”), although other feedback say it’s good but not outstanding.
Summary
Meat and fish are grilled in a special coal oven at this newly restored former Grade II listed ticket office at Peckham Rye station, which opens from breakfast on, and serves a flat-bread based lunch menu.
For 30 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
