Well Kneaded /Peckham Levels
Peckham Levels to feature two up-and-coming street food traders
Both are expected to open by mid-February.
Peckham Levels, home to a vibrant and diverse treasure trove of art, food, music, culture, enterprise and creativity, will feature two new up-and-coming street food traders in February: Little Baobab and Well Kneaded.
Launching on 10 February Little Baobab’s Chef Khadim Mane has been making waves in London’s African dining scene, from his popular East London pop-ups and catering stints across the city to trading at UK festivals WOMAD and We Out Here.
Little Baobab’s new spot on Level 6 will be Khadim’s first permanent venture in South London, where he’ll be cooking up a succinct selection of daily dishes that champion the fresh, flavourful and colourful style of Senegalese cooking.
Little Baobab’s menu will feature Senegalese favourites, including popular street food snack, Fataya, the sweet-spicy-tangy comfort dish, Chicken Yassa and the ultimate heartwarming soul food, Thiebou Dienne, a dish of jollof rice and sea bass, with cassava, carrot and aubergine. Plus, each week there’ll be rotating specials championing the flavours of Senegalese cuisine.
Headed up by husband and wife team, Laurence and Bridget, Well Kneaded crafts seasonally-changing wood-fired sourdough pizzas, salads and side dishes.
This will be Well Kneaded’s second permanent venture south of the river, following the 2018 opening of their neighbourhood pizzeria Earlsfield. All ingredients are sourced from hyper-local low-intervention producers and suppliers, majorities within Greater London, such as Sutton Community Farm and Paradise Cooperative. The 48-hour fermented pizza dough is even made out of freshly milled 100% British grains from Well Kneaded’s own mill in at their Earlsfield pizzeria.
“We’re excited to welcome these two new members to Peckham Levels. Our mission at Peckham Levels is to stimulate urban development, through creating a space that unlocks the potential of emerging talents and fosters community cohesion,” said Preston Benson, founder of Really Local Group, who runs the team behind Peckham Levels.
