The Pizza Oven has been in place for a while now..

The Counter in place. The Outside signage is done

The outside repainted.

There seems to be a floor laid internally but may just be a screed. Cannot tell peering through the window.


After taking on the place work seems to of progressed remarkably fast.

Lets not get too excited. It's yet to open. Like I say, I was told it will open next week.

Hi Louisa.


I've no idea. The website for their Brixton site does not give any details of drinks available.

I spoke to the owners last night as they were fixing the sign above the shop. I asked if the Pizzas would be wood fired and he confirmed they would be. I literally punched the air in jubilation at hearing this. So excited I forgot to ask if they were also stone baked. Can anyone confirm?

Draft is good news.


The pale ale and lager at Franco Manca is relatively expensive.

Walked passed last night 9.00pm Seating installed and Wood fired Oven visibly on.

Don't they take a couple of days to get up to full temperature? Some places Never turn them off, ??


Looks bigger for some reason. A pleasant looking make over. I feel it probably do well.

I will pay ?100 to a charity of your choice, if you can eat a pizza 31 seconds (without stopping to huff and puff it cool) of it coming out cooked from a wood fired oven.


You name the place, I?ll set up the challenge.

I seldom eat Pizza. Never in a Restaurant. You know that.

I'm ill. I can just about manage 1/2 a 9" Margaretta

Anyway I'm going into Hospital tomorrow morning for Surgery under General anaesthetic.

The procedure is complicated and comes with risks.


The last thing on my mind at the moment is Pizza.

Thank you Sue


My condition is not 'curable' It all went well though and I am now 'Stent Free' but I will have the same procedure in a few months time to see if anything has changed.At the moment I can eat only a few mouthfuls of any food. about 100gms.

I get 3 meals out of a T/a curry Can work out quite cheap :)


Anyway I started this thread to talk about The New Pizza Place where Jaflong used to be.

I think it opened while I was away, as did Saucy.

Not had a chance to see them yet. Yet to ventured out of the house.


I'm sure they will both do well. It's totally down to them. There is a lot of competition.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]
