The kitchen
From generous roasts to sharing plates
Food is cooked from scratch, with seasonal produce across a menu of burgers, fresh fish and flavour-packed vegan dishes. Sundays bring sharing roast platters, while the drinks list covers London suppliers, premium spirits, cocktails, wine and craft beer.
The bar
A local that turns up the volume
Early in the week, The Alpaca works as a friendly neighbourhood pub for a drink or a meal. Fridays and Saturdays run later, with DJs and a grown-up drinking atmosphere, while the outdoor seating and dog-friendly welcome make it easy to settle in during the day.
