Cocktails and trendy street food in... Lewisham!

July 3, 2014 Hannah Bullivant
Little Nans Bar Talbot

Little Nan's Bar at The Talbot

Hannah here: Our little family has been busting it up to London quite frequently in recent weeks, for numerous reasons, and I can’t say I’m too unhappy about it. Last weekend was a foodie corker. It started with a baby free night out with friends, at the new Little Nans pop up bar in the Talbot in Brockley. A previously slightly soulless upstairs pub room transformed into granny chic cocktail den. The Peckham Prince was a delicately flavoured winner, the choose your own tea cup malarkey is a siren call to any self respecting lifestyle blogger/Instagram addict and the teapots are enough to feed 3, so it's actually pretty reasonable. (Thanks to Zoe for the tip!)

Street Feast at Lewisham Model Market

Following our cocktails we headed down to Lewisham for dinner. Yes, you read that correctly. I used to live in Lewisham, which was hitherto famous for being pretty scuzzy and studenty, and boasted things like some of the highest street crime and STI rates in Europe. Well, colour me seven shades of surprised, but Lewisham it seems is undergoing somewhat of a hipster revolution. Street Feast have just opened in the old model market, and we couldn't wait to check it out. After a short queue and a bit of unwanted attention from some pissed blokes, we were in, our nostrils hungrily attempting to identify the myriad of different foods being cooked in the old market stands around us. Much of the old patina and charm of the original market remain in tact and I loved the feel of the place. Its oozing with cool, of course, but the food was also incredible. Crispy tofu steamed buns were light as a feather, the salted caramel brownies were out of this world, the boozy slushies were a blast from the past, and the taco's were excellent, too.  Definitely worth braving Lewisham for.

Pollen Street Social

The following day, we met up with my family to celebrate my brothers graduation, which we did so in great style at Pollen Street Social, James Atherton's restaurant. My words couldn’t do justice to the food, or the dramatic flair in which it was served and presented, I shall attempt to let the photo’s do that. But better yet, get yourself along. Perhaps to celebrate something, like we did, or to treat yourself. Their set lunch is pretty reasonably priced, although I can’t vouch for it as we went A La Carte. Apart from a slightly unaccomodating member of staff who wasn’t willing to hold the table for my family who had been delayed in the London Pride crowds, it was an excellent luncheon, amongst excellent company. And the presentation?! Um, wow.

So after all of those incredibly varied and wonderful eating and drinking experiences, we drove home to Kent and I heaved myself, and my very happily filled belly,  in to bed at 8 pm, totally crashed out. 

So, Lewisham. Seriously. Check it out.

#Ad:gift Happy love day! I’m posting a picture of myself on this auspicious day because apparently that’s how I roll. 💁🏻‍♀️ Dave took this yesterday on our way to a coffee date, just a quick phone snap, but I love it! I’m wearing the frilly shirt of dreams made by and gifted from @isabelknowles - perfection eh? It’s my favourite wardrobe piece at the moment. We’ll be eating crackers and cheese later in our pj’s, are your plans any sexier than ours?! (I’m also wearing my Blundstone boots and cropped trousers from @toast which were part of a collaboration I did with them 3 years ago. I’m mentioning them though because they are such great quality pieces and have washed and worn so well. The cropped trousers go with everything all year round and the boots feel like they have years left in them too. I have been so impressed with the quality. Just sharing the love!) P.s new rules mean that as well as clearly identifying ads and gifts right at the start of the caption (not hidden at the end or in the hashtags) influencers now need to put ‘#ad’ when their posts include gifted items. It will mean that there will probably be a lot more ‘ad’s around but it doesn’t necessarily mean that money has exchanged hands. I just thought I’d explain.
Happy new week. I’m still in winter mode, and taking it extra easy as I adjust to some new medication. But I can feel a shift already, it’s beautiful outside,  I managed a run this morning and am feeling grateful. Monday’s is when I go live in my life book e-course Facebook group and it’s become such a lovely start to my week. We have moved beyond the modules of the e course now and are now focussing on interconnected stuff- journalling, writing (today, it’s a bonus on writing  from @ourstorytime which I am so excited about!) and also gratitude, mindset, planning, making things happen and generally the stuff I love and nerd out on. Happy new week to you too, hope it’s a gentle one.
It’s cold and wet and I’m finding myself both deeply hibernating and feeling SO ready for warmer weather. Know what I mean?! This is a throw back to @thenaturesessions last year, which is coming back this May. It’s a 3 day retreat at @elmleynature (My favourite place!). I’ve stepped back from the organising side of it but I’ll be there with bells on, leading a creative styling session and a session on journalling too. Details on @thenaturesessions Page. How good would it be to be sat at that table right now with the warm evening sun on your face?! 🌞 Sigh. Anyway, hope you’re cosy wherever you are!
The first Sunday of the month is when I send out my Sunday Supplement newsletter containing things to make, do and celebrate each month. These are often small and simple things, acts of mindfulness and simply stopping to notice: things that hugely help me to stay grounded.  I have sent this newsletter for 4 years now! Whoa! Anyway, February’s edition is now in subscribers inboxes and also on the blog. Lovely things to make and do plus what I’m reading, eating, listening too and wearing. February love to you all.
