The CLF Art Lounge

Cosy place for a drink or two Cocktails were average at best and had no wow factor My lager was poor and went flat straight away But it's common all over London to be served a crap pint Food was really good and the service and politeness of staff was good too

This new venue is horrendously hot, with no air conditioning or open windows.

CLF has a nice atmosphere and the cocktails are decent but the food was really not good. Ordered the steak and it was the worst one I've ever had. I couldn't cut it and it was all fatty and inedible. The staff were nice and accepted my complaint and there was no issue but felt so unwell after it. My friends had the fried chicken which had little meat on it and looked over fried and the "gravy" was more like siracha than gravy

My friends and I stopped here for the gumbo after seeing a video on TikTok. As we walked through, we noticed the clientele seemed more from the regeneration era, rather than the original Peckham I remember. The cocktails were very nice, and the interior was alright, but the gumbo was underwhelming. The corn bread was the best thing on the plate, the crab was too small, and the only proteins in the dish were crab and prawns. The sauce was just… there. I’d actually recommend the chicken instead—it was a generous portion and very well seasoned. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend the gumbo.
