You can’t help but fall in love with a place when the cocktails have names like Does A Bear Sh*t In The Woods (expertly crafted and served in a coupe glass with some salmon and samphire on the side!), and the beef carpaccio is so mind-blowingly good. That’s The Shrub & Shutter for you, Brixton’s newest drink and bar snack spot.
Shrub & Shutter is Brixton’s newest drinking and dining destination, listing ingenious and interactive cocktails that are so expertly crafted that they stay the right side of gimmicky (despite accompanying trinkets such as Polaroid photos, toy soldiers and venison nibbles).
I don’t want to spoil all the surprises, but take a look at this lot!:
There’s also a well-priced menu of wonderfully executed food options created by head chef Joe Knowlden. Joe has previously served in the high-end kitchen of Jason Atherton‘s Pollen Street Social and has transferred the quality and innovative presentation methods from Mayfair to Brixton – while thankfully leaving behind the hefty Pollen Street price tags!
Here, the ever-changing selection of contemporary bar snacks tops out at £10, or there’s a three course deal for a very attractive £22.

Absolutely fascinating visit to Highgate Cemetery yesterday - really really recommend taking a guided tour of the West Cemetery to discover all the crypts, catacombs, beautiful headstones and history. So atmospheric (& the ultimate antidote to the Valentine's madness of this week!). Max. drama as we discovered the desecration of Karl Marx's grave first thing in the morning too!
Miles away but still my rock ⛰️ Happy V Day @johzeeck !
The brunch queues for this place get out of control! For good reason Arrive early, it's worth it: @woodenspoonsf #HYHOIinSanFrancisco
Every @airbnb should come with its own curated cactus garden @thejoshuatreehomestead
I don't even ask him to pose, it just seems to come naturally to him - and he's so annoyingly photogenic every time too lol @johzeeck This place though: @worldfamouscrochetmuseum in Joshua Tree!
We raced through the park to make it to Hidden Valley for sunset. Just in time, it was amazing to see the rocks change colour as the sun dipped lower. We didn't see another soul as we hiked the trail loop - though the Jurassic Park scenery made it feel like a dinosaur might appear at any moment!
@lacopinekitchen is somewhat elusive, only opening between 2pm and 7pm (!?), but it's well worth the effort - particularly for that flourless espresso chocolate cake We popped in after a morning spent hiking in @joshuatreenps , before rushing back to Hidden Valley for sunset
Sunset in Hidden Valley, @joshuatreenps
