MILK

A dog-friendly neighbourhood café on the Grove Park/Lee border, MILK keeps gentle daytime hours — opening at 8am and winding down by mid-afternoon — with outdoor seating, takeaway and delivery all on offer. Its second string is events: through Olive & Thyme, the dining-events company of chef Christopher Bower, the space can be booked for special occasions. A 4.7 rating from 162 reviews suggests locals are rather fond of the place.
