Little Brickhouse

Originally a domestic supper club, before decamping to a Sherwood shipping container and finding its way to Derby Road,  the Little Brickhouse is now ‘a core part of the community food and social scene’ run by some of the ‘coolest people you will ever meet’. Inside is a jumble of furniture and an embarrassment of decorative riches – the work of local artists trying their luck amid a tide of eccentric knick-knacks. The homely feel is heightened by the ‘beautifully comforting yet sophisticated food’ – an ever-changing blackboard of small plates peppered with exciting possibilities. From the sesame bread with chive butter to the lime and botanicals sorbet, everything sings and the flavours just keep coming: panelle siciliane with crab and dill; courgette lasagne; hanger steak with Padrón peppers; chicken schnitzel with baby gem, pine-nut dressing and radishes.  The wine list is all-natural, naturally, and there are cocktails and beers too. To cap it all, they have 'lots of interesting events – late dancing, brunches, supper clubs, cinema nights and markets outside – so it’s never boring.’
