Lunch in Brixton

Lunch does not always need to be squeezed between two other things.

At The Laundry, lunch in Brixton can mean a quick plate on Coldharbour Lane, a long table with a bottle of wine or the sort of afternoon that quietly develops into an evening.

Our neighbourhood bistro serves seasonal food, proper cocktails and carefully chosen wine, with tables inside, at the bar and on our covered, heated terrace. Whether you are working nearby, meeting friends or looking for somewhere to eat before spending the afternoon in Brixton, lunch can be as quick or as leisurely as the day allows.

A proper lunch on Coldharbour Lane

The Laundry sits a short walk from Brixton Station, Brixton Village and Electric Avenue, making it an easy choice for lunch near Brixton Station or anyone looking for places to eat in Brixton without wandering too far from the centre.

The menu follows the seasons and keeps things generous and uncomplicated. Good ingredients, proper cooking and the sort of dishes that work equally well for a quick weekday lunch or a table that has nowhere particularly urgent to be afterwards.

Order something simple, add a glass of wine and see where the afternoon goes.

Midweek lunch plans, sorted

Monday to Wednesday gives you another reason to get away from the desk.

Our £15 Plats du Jour bring a different bistro favourite to the table each day, making them one of our favourite weekday lunch deals in Brixton.

Monday means Fish Brioche Burger, with panko-crusted fish and preserved lemon tartare. Tuesday brings the kitchen’s Pie of the Week, while Wednesday is reserved for Steak Frites with grilled bavette, café de Paris butter and fries.

Tuesday also comes with free corkage, so you can bring your own bottle and give the working week a slightly better outlook.

Lunch inside or out

A quick lunch and a long lunch require very different tables. Fortunately, we have room for both.

Take a seat inside, settle in at the bar or book a table on the covered terrace. The terrace works throughout the year, which is useful when London has once again decided not to commit to a season.

For larger groups, celebrations or team lunches, group dining and private spaces are also available.

Lunch before the Academy

If the evening includes a show at O2 Academy Brixton, The Laundry is close enough to make lunch or an early dinner part of the plan without adding unnecessary travel.

Weekday ticket holders can also show their O2 Academy Brixton ticket to access our ticket-holder cocktail offer, giving you another reason to start the evening on Coldharbour Lane.
