The Balham Kitchen and Bar has closed down. It has been sold to Sam Harrison (who owns a place called Sam’s Brasserie & Bar in Chiswick). It will reopen in September under the new name Harrison’s.
The BKB won’t be missed. I’ve only been there a couple of times in the four years that it’s been open, but that’s because every time I’ve gone the food has been average and the staff have been very unhelpful. Not what you expect from what is probably the most expensive restaurant in Balham.
I’ve said it before and I’ll no doubt say it again, but if you want a top-notch restaurant in Balham then you should really try Lamberts.
We’ll be trying Harrison’s when it opens though. I’ll let you know how it goes.
