Brixton Village

The day I got my keys to my flat was the first day I'd ever been to Brixton. Working full-time through the summer meant that I was unable to make any of our viewings, so I left the whole process down to my boyfriend... And what a good job he did! I love my flat and contrary to any preconceptions, I love Brixton.

We live between Brixton and Clapham really.. meaning that in the summer Clapham Common is only a short walk away and in the winter all of the cosy pubs are an even shorter walk away. But my favourite part of Brixton by far is Brixton Village.  

If you head down to The Village on a weekend it is going to be pretty busy... and choosing your restaurant can be a bit daunting. Although I am yet to have a bad experience here, I will share with you some of my top favourites anyway!

WISHBONE

The thing about Wishbone is that it serves (quality) fried chicken and cocktails - and that my friends, is all you need in life. 

This place is seriously good, we sat on that first table on the left there and ate loads of buffalo wings (the marinade is amazing), chicken sandwiches and God's gift to the world... Hot Mess! This is basically nacho's but using hash browns instead of tortilla chips. 

AGILE RABBIT

This cool little pizza bar scores top marks if you're looking for somewhere to meet friends, grab a pizza and listen to live music. They have bands there at weekends who play outside the fishmongers opposite! Glam? No. Fun and yum? Yes!

CORNERCOPIA

This quaint little restaurant uses all locally sourced goods that they also sell in their shop. The selection of English wines is amazing and everything I ate felt so fresh and flavoursome! I had ham croquettes, some kind of meatballs and mackerel pate (where are the accents on this keyboard??!). It all made for such a nice lunch for two.

This is just a quick write up, but I promise the next time I hit Brixxy Village I'll take my camera and provide some much loved food porn.
