Filly Brook

Named after the ancient stream that still gurgles beneath it, Filly Brook is in an old wooden shed that used to be Grove Green Road’s iconic scout hut. Today, the dyb-dybs have been replaced by glug-glugs, cheers to a vast selection of craft beers and wines and an absolutely banging series of kitchen residencies. The latest is Sireli, an Armenian-inspired small plates and Middle Eastern fried chicken situation, devised by a couple of returned globetrotting mates from Leytonstone. But another reason to come is the music. Co-owner Simon – himself a music industry lifer – has a strict vinyl-only policy and the kind of sound system only an audiophile could build. Stick around after dinner to check out one of Filly Brook’s live music nights.
