About The Laundry Restaurant LTD

Inspired by classic European bistros, neighbourhood bars and cafés that have influenced Chef Sommelier Melanie Brown’s travel adventures. The Laundry is a place where brunches thrive, afternoon and evening sundowners are a must and an all-day menu is founded on the intrinsic landscape of culinary tradition. Traditional cooking  with New World creativity and flair.  A simple philosophy of genuine, honest cooking merged with welcoming hospitality, in a building steeped in history and grace.   Set in the heart of Brixton on Coldharbour Lane, The Laundry flows from day to night, offering a variety of spaces; whether it be an intimate dinner for two, a mid afternoon meal or a celebration for many; the kitchen never sleeps.  An expansive, covered and heated terrace serves cocktails and food until late into the night. Private events are catered for in two semi-private dining rooms, and award-winning Sunday Roasts are a local institution throughout the colder months. Walk-ins are wholeheartedly encouraged, though it is essential to book at weekends. The bustling bar beckons night owls and day diners alike and inventive seasonal cocktails always make it worth the visit. 

Things to consider

You will be on your feet all day in a fast-paced Bistro, including early starts and late-night finishes, plus our signature weekend service. Flexibility is essential. Please maintain meticulous cleanliness & organisation at all times. Located in the heart of Brixton, please research your commute for both early & late shifts.
