Brian Danclair’s ultra-hip Caribbean joint Fish, Wings & Tings has been a fixture of the Brixton Village scene for a decade, and the globetrotting chef recently added a second string to his bow in the shape of this self-styled 'Kitchen'. Squeezed in among the shops and cafés of Granville Arcade, it brings more precision and purpose to his local endeavours, with obvious nods to his Trinidadian roots and culinary travels. He also pays homage to the home cooking of his Venezuelan grandmother, whose face – as a bright, trippy mural – covers an entire wall of the buzzy dining room. Danclair can often be seen ‘skipping between his two restaurants with a Carib beer in hand’, when he’s not frying his legendary 'cod fish fritters' or lip-puckering chicken wings – ‘tossed gloriously in chilli and glazed with sweet guava,’ according to one fan.

Elsewhere, the short menu roams from meaty chargrilled king prawns smacked with tamarind and headily spiced empanadas (made to his grandma’s recipe and served with a pot of chimichurri) to the ‘catch of the day’ and flash-griddled sirloin steak, ‘tender and full of flavour’. There are no desserts, but you can always get giddy with the house rum punch (pineapple and orange juice laced with copious quantities of Wray & Nephew).
