Staying in London for the August Bank Holiday and looking for fun in the shape of food and booze? As the place on the hill we’re delivering both of those things in abundance to the good people of Battersea, Clapham and Wandsworth (people from elsewhere are also very welcome!!).

Friday: American Road Trip Dinner – featuring big fat steak sandwiches, animal style fries and super tasty pies for pudding, oh and bone marrow for starters. We sold out our Independence Day Dinner (see pics here) and it was an awesome party night, this event is gonna rock too. Click here to book. Fancy dress optional but very cool if you do. Don’t forget we’ll also be serving brunch from 9am to 4pm.

Saturday: Brunch from 9am to 4pm. Happy Hour 5-7pm. Dinner, including epic burgers and scotch eggs, from 6pm.

Sunday and Monday: to celebrate Notting Hill Carnival we’re running an entirely Caribbean dinner menu – click here to check it out – from 6pm each night. We’re also be providing hangover salvation in the form of Bloody Mary’s and big breakfasts with brunch from 9am to 4pm each day.

Please note, if you want to come to the Road Trip Dinner you need to book in advance and online, click here for the 7pm sitting or here for the 9pm sitting.

This week has been all about The Fabulous Feast on St John’s Hill – and this weekend sees the street’s celebration of food and drink go up another gear with all sorts of events and activities taking place, including a bunch of pop-up stalls.

Here’s what’s going down at the Canteen…

  • We’re going to keep our kitchen open all day on Saturday, normally we close it between 4 and 6pm but not for The Fabulous Feast.
  • We run a super popular brunch but we wanted to spice it up some more. So, we’ve created a Bloody Mary menu - come and try it out this weekend.
  • On the subject of booze, we’ve never been so excited about a shelf, behold our Gin Shelf.
  • Ditch those Sunday blues with our  Sunday Roast. We serve it from 2pm every Sunday. Enjoy Roast Orkney Beef, Pork Belly or Roasted Chicken with roasties, cauliflower cheese and broccoli, greens, root veg mash and yorkies.
  • Sunday night, at 8pm, will see Murderous Cupcakes in the Canteen, we think it’s going to be fun, you should come.
  • We’re getting massively into Sipsmith’s Summer Cup, this genuine rival to Pimms is making us feel all summery in lieu of any actual sun.
  • Time and Leisure just nominated us as one of London’s best local restaurants, if you like us then would you be so terribly kind as to vote for us here?!
  • Also, Ben recently got interviewed by our friends at Le Cool, click here to read the interview.
  • To add to our British food, done well ethos and British beers we’ve added a selection of English wines (British wines means something else), including a cracking sparkling by Chapel Down. Come and run the rule over them this weekend and let us know what you think.

  • Next week will also see Murderous Cupcakes in the Canteen, 8pm Sunday night.
  • To celebrate our burger being named as one of the Top 10 in London we made a film of it being made - click here to watch. We serve it all day on Saturday and Sunday so you’ve got plenty of time to come and take it on.
