What they say:
Taking over a former ticket office in Peckham Rye train station, The Coal Rooms has transformed the Grade II-listed building into an all-day café-cum-restaurant-cum-bar. The café area will serve breakfasts and the like in the morning, before it transforms into a 24-seat bar during the night. The majority of the food is served in their 30-cover restaurant, where a sunken, open-plan kitchen sits, as well as a private dining room. The aim of The Coal Rooms is serving up a variety of meats and fish cooked on their robata grill and coal ovens, which is made possible thanks to their on-site butchery that doubles up as their private dining room.
What we say:
The aim of the Coal Rooms is not to just serve you up your favourite cut of rib eye, but also to provide different, interesting variations too. And they'll do it all day, from breakfast, where they offer dishes like coffee-cured bacon sandwiches, with the choice of three cuts of bacon that are cured on site; to dinner, where you can feast on mangalitsa cowboy steaks or roasted cod heads. Meanwhile, lunch is all about flatbreads cooked in their coal oven, with internationally-inspired toppings. Alongside these will be a series of small plates, but also a fun list of house sources, such as crab able jelly and jerk caramel.
