Born and raised locally, we grew up going to the cinema, meeting friends outside and dancing to music upstairs. We have catered events in Windrush Square, the heart of our Brixton community and thus we feel a perfect fit to this space, place and time. It is a truly magical moment to nourish such a venue and we are grateful for the opportunity. The journey never stops… Forwards Ever!”
