Mike + Ollie's pop-up restaurant - dinner time

Last week, Brockley Central prediction number 2 for 2012 did come to pass.

Yesterday, Brockley Market pointed out to us that prediction number 5 had come true without us noticing:

Aside from Masons' successor, the Hilly Fields Cafe and the Toads Mouth replacement, Brockley will get another place to eat. It will be the brainchild of one of the area's many foodie entrepreneurs, perhaps one who's cut their teeth at Brockley Market. It will be closer to #Meateasy than a formal restaurant.

Mike + Ollie is a Brockley food business that trades at Brockley and Deptford Markets. They are also launching a pop-up restaurant, promising to "cook a beautiful dinner with a musician once a fortnight for 15-20 people in intimate surrounds. The location will vary from time to time but will be within the Deptford/New Cross/Brockley area."

They're now taking bookings for their first evening, so register with their website to get details.

To be honest, since they first announced their plans in October last year, we're not sure this counts as a prediction. It's also not quite what we had in mind. However, it's one of a growing number of pop-up restaurants operating in the area, testament both to the quality of culinary entrepreneurs living locally and the latent demand for local restaurant options. It's this combination which led us to make the prediction in the first place.
