Love is in the air… Valentines Day is just around the corner and our February Business of the Month features a true love story…
We’ve written previously about some of our favourite eateries in Cornwall. Well this month, it’s time to visit London.
Latin American plant based kitchen The Muddy Puddle is one of our absolute FAVOURITE places to enjoy coffee and pastries, brunch, a Friday night sundowner, a Saturday DJ set or their legendary Muddy Sunday Full Vegan plate. We love it so much we’ll be bringing our next London Mayven event here on Saturday the 22nd of March!
If you’re within distance of Stoke Newington, we would strongly recommend a visit. Find their soft pink fronted premises at 142 Albion Road, N16 9PA.
The Muddy Puddle is run by the incredible Phoebe and her partner Ben, who have been together for over eight years and are getting married this autumn! They share passions for the vibrant flavours of Latin and South America, fantastic coffee, intimate gigs and events, and between them, are building this shared, welcoming space. They’re also dog friendly which gets our vote, and Scary Little Meg’s woof!
The Muddy Puddle menu is inspired by mostly Ben’s background, combining influences from the UK (Phoebe) and Argentina (Ben) and other countries they have visited. Their commitment to showcasing just how delicious plant based food can be, while staying true to the ingredients and flavours that they’ve encountered, shines through. Their brilliant reviews tell their own story, as does the fact that bookings can be essential to secure a spot.
Along with the delicious food (have we mentioned the home made empanadas? Check out the empanadas!) Phoebe and Ben also bring their experience and love of music to their basement. They’ve made a lovely, intimate space, and the events they put on include lively jams, chilled out beats and provide a platform for fabulous local artists. They say they ‘hope to have brought something truly special to the neighbourhood’ – we say, yes, you have!
Open all week, apart from Mondays, the Muddy Puddle has quickly become a firm Scary Little favourite and we can’t wait for our Mayven event there in March. We hope you will enjoy it if you visit. Give Phoebe and Ben our love and tell them Meg will be in for her next dog treat soon!
