This sounds great - best of luck!

Sadly I won't be able to drink wine in the evening for some time as I have a newborn. Will I be able to squeeze in with a pushchair during the day?

Children, babies, and their adult companions are very welcome - and we like to think of ourselves as a coffee/food/wine/beer/other things shop.... so hopefully you'll find something that suits

We have wifi, too!

Was planning to come along tonight with a small group of mates but alas I was offered a free ticket to see arcade fire otherwise was planning on being there and tasting far too many things! Hope tonight goes well and I'll be in soon!

Thanks JMLF, I'm sure we'll see you soon - and we know we could never compete with Arcade Fire

It was a great night - and we look forward to doing it all again tonight!

My husband and I went in yesterday lunchtime and enjoyed a very good pint of beer and glass of white wine, and delicious cured meats. The salami with fennel was particularly delicious. Great to see somewhere like this in Sydenham!

Visited 161 this evening with my wife, had a great time - drink, food, atmosphere, service was really good. Recommended!

I popped in for lunch yesterday with my girlfriend and very much enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

And it was heaving when I walked past at 11pm lat night on my return from stewarding at the Hegley & Kay Arts Festival event. There's definitely a market for this kind of venue in Sydenham!

My visit was a very pleasant experience. It's small (is there any option to expand?) but a nice vibrant atmosphere, good selection of wine, and an exciting addition to sydenham.....

In a few months, this will hopefully be on the SE26 wine drinking trail starting at 'on the hoof', stopping for a bottle or two at the new wine bar (being built by the bridge near the station) and finishing off for an odd glass at 161 Kirkdale

Lovely

It was full last night but managed to get a table - wonderful food and drink and a nice atmosphere. Hopefully won't be too long before we make a second visit!

I'm hearing good things about the Review evening at 161 Food and Wine

Apparently great value at £35 per head, combining a range of things to eat with samples of their wines, which sounds like a neat way to build customer loyalty and get the feedback on what the business should be doing next.
