BRIXTON FOOD TOUR ITINERARY

Your Brixton food tour begins in Windrush Square, where your guide will introduce you to the area's rich history and its cultural significance. Then it's off to meet our friend Maureen, who's been serving up fresh Jamaican food from her backyard kitchen for 20 years. As you enjoy her incredible jerk chicken with coleslaw, you'll get your first taste of how small businesses like hers bring the community together through food.

Next, we'll follow up with another Jamaican favorite: a delectable rum cake from a beloved shop in the heart of Brixton. Hear the inspiring journey of the founder, a child of the Windrush Generation who turned his passion for farming into a successful business that fosters inclusivity and sustainability.

After that, you'll meet Chef Brian, who brings his Trinidadian roots to a lively market eatery. Taste crispy cod fritters as Brian shares how his family traditions and community ties shape his cooking philosophy. It's the perfect spot to experience the warmth of Brixton’s close-knit community.

Our next stop, a tiny blink-and-you'll-miss-it stall, will whisk you from the Caribbean to West Africa. Try incredible homemade jollof rice paired with chicken wings and learn how this dish symbolizes unity across communities.

Heading back across the pond to Brazil, your next taste comes from a cozy restaurant run by our friend William and his family. Hear their story as you savor a homemade brigadeiro, or Brazilian chocolate treat. You'll be able to taste the love that goes into each handmade dessert!

Finally, our Brixton food tour comes to a close at a bright and friendly Latin American spot. Pass around plates of tapas—think freshly made empanadas and fried plantains—and sip sangria for the perfect finale to a day filled with flavor, culture, and community spirit.
