Wouldn't we all like to be the kind of oh-so-cool couple who swings down to their local haunt for their wedding breakfast? You know, a place that serves up authentic, ingredient-led food in a relaxed setting, and that every Londoner aims to have in their little black book?
Well, that's the vibe at SW16 Bar & Kitchen in Streatham Hill, an intimate restaurant-bar with an Italian-inspired menu. On a normal day, the space welcomes remote workers to tap away on laptops, and locals to enjoy a coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well as an exciting programme of events including supper clubs and aperitivo hours.
With such a community-spirited feel, it's no wonder that the team are enthusiastic about hosting such a special day for customers new and old. The space is light, bright and open with a rustic edge. Exposed pipework over head nods to an industrial feel, while painted brick walls and minimalist furniture feel stylish and sophisticated.
Wedding breakfasts of between 20 and 150 guests can be hosted here, taking over the entire restaurant as a private dining space. As well as the effortlessly cool setting - which, by the way, would look amazing transformed by your choice of decorations - the big draw here is the food. Head Chef Antonio crafts the venue's wedding menus with an Italiano twist. On the website you can enjoy a delicious insight into the kind of dishes he suggests including the likes of braised lamb shoulder, cauliflower puree and chicken mousse for starters, ricotta and chestnut ravioli with sage, cabbage and truffle sauce or pan-fried black cod with squash puree, roast shallots, clams, prawns and dill for mains, and pistachio tiramisu with coffee and mascarpone cream for dessert.
