Husband and wife duo, Amy Corbin and Patrick Williams, of the Kudu Collective, have announced the opening of their third restaurant concept, a South African-inspired tapas-style restaurant called Little Kudu, this June.
Following a refurbishment, Little Kudu will take over the space which is currently home to the group’s Peckham-based cocktail bar Smokey Kudu.
Similar to the group’s two other restaurants, Kudu and Kudu Grill, chef patron Williams will “bring his South African roots to the fore” at Little Kudu, alongside South African-born head chef Chace Wagenhauser.
The menu, featuring small plates priced from £4-£23, will include; the Little Kudu loaf with cape malay butter; smoked peri-peri mussels; Braaibroodjie (South African grilled cheese sandwich) with smoked tomato chutney and a ham hock terrine with biltong scratchings.
Meanwhile, the 30-bin wine list will showcase wines from South Africa.
Elsewhere, the first of the group’s brands to open outside Peckham will be Smokey Kudu, which will reopen at RIXO’s brand new flagship store on the King’s Road in Chelsea this April.
The cocktail list will include a mix of brand new and Smokey Kudu favourites (£12-£14) including the Kudu Pear (Pear Cognac, Ginger Liqueur, Green Apple, Cardamom Bitters and Citrus) Kudu Colada (Pineapple Juice, Amarula, Creme of Coconut, Supasuwa); and a small selection of sparkling, red and white wines.
The central circular bar has been designed by interiors company Cupla, creating an “intimate and sophisticated” space using gold, pink and green tones. The terracotta clay flooring is complemented by soft lighting.
