Hot news – Sunday Roasts are back! Join us from 12 on Sunday for roast beef and roast chicken (our normal brunch menu will also be available).

Other hot news: we’re having a Tropical Christmas with Yummy Choo Eats and in January we’re doing a supper club with the super talented Ryan Stafford.

Below is a little list of what else is going down over the weekend and coming up…

  • It’s looking like it’s going to be a busy weekend, so if you want a table for dinner then it’s probably best to book in early – and take advantage of some extra value; reserve a table between 6 & 7pm and you can claim 2 courses for £20 and a free glass of wine.
  • Or take advantage of the fact that our kitchen is now open until 11pm on Fridays & Saturdays and book a late table.
  • Please note, we’re trying out a swanky new telephone reservation system, call us on 020 7228 3260 to give it a whirl.
  • Sunday Roasts are back in the Canteen – join us for roast beef or chicken from 12pm.
  • You should also try out some of our new cocktails, our Bacon Bourbon Old Fashioned has just been featured in GQ Magazine, we’re also big fans of our Sipsmith Sloe Gin Negroni and the Damon in Distress (with Damson Vodka).
  • We’ve started a movement to make your weekend last a little bit longer; the Sunday Night Saver - get any of our burgers or sandwiches for a tenner.
  • Yikes, it’s time to think about booking your Christmas party. We’ve launched our Christmas menus, click here to check them out. We’re doing a set Christmas Lunch menu for £15 per person.
  • We run SW London’s busiest and best brunch, starting at 9am each day.
  • We’re now serving Allpress Coffee, absolutely top notch stuff, make sure you come try a cup. And for tea fans we now serve We Are Tea, like our coffee, it’s top drawer.
  • Speaking of brunch, we now offer a loyalty card for those joining us for midweek brunch, click here for details.
  • In need of a present? Check out the Colporter pop-up and Flights of Nancy bags too – leave the Canteen with a full tum and some awesome pieces for your home.

Ok Autumn we see your game, you’re getting a bit colder on us eh! To combat this we’ve got blankets and we’ve just installed some outdoor heaters.

We’re also going to have mulled wine and a hot toddy to take the chill out of the nights whilst during the day we’ve increased our range of teas from We Are Tea and if you haven’t tried Allpress Coffee then you need to get down here sharpish, it’s cracking coffee.

We Are Tea at Ben’s Canteen

Most people probably know that here at Ben’s Canteen we love our coffee (and we absolutely love the Allpress Coffee we recently started serving) but what they may not realise is that we also love a good cuppa.

That’s why we’re delighted to be stocking a range of teas from the brilliant We Are Tea.

We Are TeaWe’re currently stocking their English Breakfast, Gunpowder Supreme (green tea), Revitealise, White Chamomile Flowers and Earl Grey but we’ll be adding to that in the coming weeks.

So the next time you’re around St John’s Hill or indeed Clapham Junction, Battersea Rise or Northcote Road make sure you pop in and try one of these fantastic teas. Perhaps have it with a slice of treacle tart from the Bad Boys Bakery (the bakery Gordon Ramsay helped set up at Brixton Prison)?! And don’t forget, ending your dinner  at the Canteen with a tea is a great way to round off a night. We serve our tea from 9am right up until we close late at night.

On reflection this has been a rather good week; our Bacon Bourbon Old Fashioned was featured in GQ, we announced that Flights of Nancy will be doing a pop-up night with Indonesian inspired cocktails and food and Obama got re-elected, we’re having a Thanksgiving Dinner to celebrate! Oh and we’ve also updated our cocktails, working with Sipsmith, we’ve added a Sloe Gin Negroni and the St John’s Mule (Sipsmith Gin, Lime, homemade Ginger Beer and Basil).

  • When you pop in during the evening, you need to indulge in our dedicated chip menu - the chilli cheese chips are the staff favourite.

This week we’ve been busy planning Halloween, we’re also making plans for Thanksgiving, Guy Fawkes Night and potentially a Mauritian Christmas Party. Halloween is going to be absolutely rocking, Sipsmith are the drinks sponsor whilst The Rib Man is providing some very special hot sauce for the ‘Suicide Wings’ whilst Gelupo are giving samples of their Pumpkin & Cinnamon ice cream. Make sure you book your tickets in advance, more details here.

Good times ahead but lets not forget the good times also start right now as the weekend is here!
