Food Served

A little out of the way on Peckham Road but the pizzas are a great secret gem. And the events are always worth stumbling on.

All In London

More a community arts and events space than your average bar, but The Peckham Pelican still offers excellent beer, good, unfussy food and great company.

All In London Review

Beer, pizza, art, film and music in a warehouse space alone on a Peckham street...

Naturally, there was a desire to call this review ‘Peckham, the Peli and Me’ but since we’re not into naming reviews here, we’ll just have to stick with the buttoned-up, regular old Peckham Pelican. And why wouldn’t we, that’s the name donned by this super-boho café/bar on Peckham Road.

Housed in a warehouse-style block, expect to find concrete floors, battered chesterfields, huge windows and plenty of salvaged wood scattered with liberal amounts of art school attitude – in a good way.

Salads? Yep. Beigels? Those too. And cheap wood-fired pizzas all feature on the appealing food menu. However, what’s way more fun than that – and even better than the killer cocktail list and happy hour – is the Alhambra Premium, aka Big Al beer. For anyone who has ever dreamed of the stoop life after watching Boyz N The Hood a few too many times, the epic signature Peckham Pelican American-style 40oz beer bottle is for you.

Aside from the giddiness we’re getting from those big beers, the Peckham Pelican also boasts a healthy range of arts to get excited about. Theatre, literature, experimental music, indie films; the Pelican fits all this into its multifaceted, metaphorical beak pouch. And who wouldn’t want to go eat, drink and get arty in a beak pouch?
