Harden's survey result
Summary
A “dependably good” meal is not to be taken for granted when eating out in Deptford, but is to be found here at one of the area’s brightest sparks: a high-quality, rather stylish café on a corner of the high street serving a pasta-focused lunch menu and an evening menu of more ambitious dishes.
Summary
One of Deptford’s few culinary hotspots worth remembering – this white-walled café on the high street “remains an excellent option for elevated Italian dining” (certainly by local standards). The menu is short but interesting: typically a couple of pasta options and two or three main dishes with a meat, fish and veggie option.
Summary
Bright, white-walled local Italian on the high street in Deptford (sibling to Peckham’s Artusi) named for food writer Marcella Hazan; according to locals the scran’s “always reliable, delicious and great value”.
Summary
This hip five-year-old on Deptford High Street wins consistently high ratings for its simple and “authentic” Italian cooking, inspired by the great food writer Marcella Hazan. It is the younger sibling to Peckham star Artusi.
