Sparrow to give Lewisham a big sexy hook I think you are going to really dig

Lewisham may never get the Polpo it was promised, but it is welcoming something similarly delicious-sounding. The Evening Standard reports that a new restaurant called Sparrow will open on Rennell Street, close to Lewisham Station:

"A couple who met while working at St John are opening their own restaurant in Lewisham.

"Terry Blake and Yohini Nandakumar will launch Sparrow later this month, serving a menu influenced by their combined experience in restaurants including Bao, Merchant’s Tavern, Pollen Street Social and The Square, as well as St John...

"The regularly-changing menu will focus on seasonal British ingredients, with dishes planned for the launch including a courgette trifolati pasta with roasted spring onion bruschetta, roast pork belly with harissa, and glazed ham slices served with home-baked sourdough and rhubarb relish."
