Tea and Cake with Rosie by Helena Lee
The love affair started almost six years ago when Rosie Lovell went looking for somewhere to set up a cafe. “I got the bus to East Dulwich and got straight back on again. Prams,” she says, eyes wide, “A lot of prams.” She flew over to Brixton instead and stumbled upon an empty unit in the market. “…and I was like – it’s amazing – I love it!”
The best restaurant in south London?

Success again for Adam Byatt nearly a decade after he made Clapham North a gourmet destination. Jennifer Sharp charts his progress
Spring sunshine streams through the window and Adam Byatt is a happy man. His restaurant, Trinity on Clapham Common, has the low purr of contented lunchtime customers; his first cookbook, How to Eat In, is published today; he has just chaired the judging panel of the Annual Awards for Excellence organised by the influential Academy of Culinary Arts; and on the weekend, he will brush up his street cred with a return to BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen, cooking and sparring with presenter James Martin. Not bad for a 35-year old from Essex who left school at 16 without much to show for it and, by his own account, was ‘a bit of a yob, a troublemaker’.
