What: A relaxed but slickly run food-led pub in the south London neighbourhood of Camberwell. The Kerfield Arms is from the same stable as The Baring, which launched in Islington in 2022 and has been well received, chalking up a glowing review from The Guardian‘s Grace Dent, who describes it as a “benchmark of where pub dining is heading”. On top of this, it went into the Top 50 Gastropubs list as the highest new entry in 2023 and has since climbed to 17 in the latest list.

Jonathan MacDonald: Yes. We have just reopened Ox and Finch following a major refit. We had 40 people to accommodate within our wider business, so it made a lot of sense to launch Miller Street (which houses Margo and Sebb’s) while Ox and Finch was closed. It’s worked out perfectly. Some guys have stayed at the new launches and others are returning to Ox and Finch. We’ve also had to take on a lot more people. JM: Margo and Sebb’s are both flying. The revenue has been great.

Around the same time, I was fortunate to work alongside a few really inspiring sommeliers.
