Brixton Village, Market Row, Pope's Road, Lost In Brixton and Hondo Enterprises' Brixton empire

Wonder how they got that name.....

 

I’ve been to a couple of Pergola venues for birthdays - they’ve been universally shit. Food and drinks run out constantly, massive queues, overcrowding x

 

Aren't you supposed to use the app to order food from any restaurant in the market and it is brought to your table? Most restaurants in the market have very limited covers so they will probably appreciate it - if their micro kitchens can keep up!

 

Have you been infected by the Daily Mail?

 

I'm trying to work out where the space is. Is it in what were the artists studios?

Or is it above the Sports Direct Store?

 

I wonder how many restaurants in the market will sign up. As you say, many have micro kitchens.

Will market restaurants have to pay to use the App and the ‘runners’?

I used to order from the Lebanese place in the market via Deliveroo. After complaining about it being cold/late/things missing a few times in a row, they contacted me and invited me in for a free meal. They told me of their constant issues with Deliveroo and how it just wasn’t worth the extra orders.

 

I’ve given up on Deliveroo - meals either turned up late and cold or just never got delivered

 

Yeah same. And no I don’t want a £10 credit note for my order turning up with items missing and what was there stone cold, I want my fucking money back!

We order Chinese from Hungs in Streatham. They royally fucked our order up once, took nearly two hours and quite a bit was missing, it was a big order. Rang to complain and 20 minutes later the owner was on the doorstep with the missing items and a few bonus dishes. He always delivered our orders after that. Now that’s service.

 

Yeah I looked for the app and couldn’t find anything.. hope it’s ready and tested thoroughly ahead of time

 

LIke the people at hungs. Also the delivery guy who always seems to be in Football kit (including shin pads)
Normally go to collect from hungs. That way,the wait is much less and you know it is hot when you get it home

 

This is exactly what will happen, it’ll take a big slice of the cost.

 

Bad broken links!

I need links that Welcome me to the Jungle!

 

They are pretty keen to get it open for Aug 1st. Work was still happening last night at 10.30.

 

But no reference to Brixton
Also Facebook link not found

 

Are you sure that you and Brixton Blog have got the right Zak?

This one Zak Group is actually a UK based company that does interior design etc.
Clearly its not as romantic to have a UK design company doing a disco in Brixton - when there is a San Francisco architect of similar name making log cabin hidy holes in Hawaii.

Anyway whoever it is designing this folly, I understand from sources close to the ground that the arch next to the Jungle themed disco can no longer open his windows to get air or light thanks to this coruscating hedonism.

No doubt this is a double bonus for Network Rail/The Arches Company: simultaneously next to a vibrant jungle-themed night=spot and have a possibly unwanted tenancy terminated more easily?

 

Canalisation of the River Effra ?

 

Wandered through the market/village and saw a couple of the delivery guys waiting around down by the new chicken place. Then on way to the farmer's market exited via the side entrance and there's a private entrance, with guards, where I guess the deliverers and staff wander up and down.

There were also a couple of young kids with masks cycling around inside

 

nipped in to see if what is was like, think Pop but more money thrown at it, acoustics were dreadful and that was with the roof open! apparently there is limited choice of food as the app is not working properly, one of the restaurant owners told me that only three places were able to supply food through the app, no one was able to tell him what was happening. All in all seemed to be the same type of people seen at all the instagramable places and for that reason I'm out (never to return)
