What: Four Hundred Rabbits are breeding like, well, rabbits. Following on from the success they have enjoyed since opening in Crystal Palace, this very special beer and pizza restaurant has just opened its doors in Nunhead, Peckham. Inspired by the authentic Italian pizza found in Napoli, Four Hundred Rabbits use a sourdough starter made from British Rye flour, ferment their dough for up to 48 hours, and whack it all in their wood fire oven.

Why: The toppings begin with a rich tomato sauce made from San Marzano DOP tomatoes, and when it comes to the cheese, the team use Fior di Latte, which is made from cow’s milk. And once again they seek out the very best that’s available, Caseificio Ponticorvo, which blends perfectly with the tomatoes to create a smooth sauce. Four Hundred Rabbits use only the best of British seasonal produce to complete their pizzas. The charcuterie comes from Cannon & Cannon, and they source their other produce from local suppliers. Best washed down with one of their twelve beers that rotate each week from the best and most innovative, not to mention hippest, brewers in the UK and Europe.

The next course is ‘Earth’, which comes in the form of Yin Yang vegetable soup. After Earth, comes ‘Water’ and it’s a real Bright Courtyard Club speciality in the shape of garlic butter lobster tails. The first of the remaining two courses is ‘Wood’, which comes in the form of Shanghai-style wood roasted pigeon, an extra-special dish that showcases Bright Courtyard’s speciality in Shanghai cuisine. The fifth element is ‘Fire’, and it’s an unforgettable dessert experience: a flaming dessert cocktail served with traditional Chinese biscuits.
