What’s New
Eat Beirut London
This Lebanese restaurant on the New King’s Road was about to open its doors when the pandemic thwarted those plans. They are now open for takeaway and delivery. You can find them on Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo. We haven’t tried their menu yet but they’ve got some great dishes including falafel, lamb kafta and our all time favourite fattoush salad. They’ve also got some lovely lunchtime specials (12 - 4.00 pm/weekdays only) from wrap meals (choose lamb or chicken with a side of houmous and salad) to lunch boxes (chicken or lamb skewers with pickles, pitta and houmous).
Welcome to Fulham Eat Beirut!

Ella’s Place
This green, rustic oasis of a shop re-opened its doors at the end of May after some renovations and a reconfiguration of their existing set up pre-lockdown. Ella’s Place will continue serving coffee and selling fresh flowers, plants and fine wine but they will now also be offering cold press juices and smoothies. Ella’s also have a vegetarian salad bar and have added tables and chairs into the newly reclaimed and replanted rear garden.
On your next socially distanced stroll why not pop into 305 New King’s Road, SW6 4RF take a look and pick up a healthy juice. Decisions, decisions there are lots to choose from, we’re liking the sound of either a Turmeric Joy or Heartbeet Juice. Instagram https://bit.ly/2TQK3z6
Cocotte
This rotisserie has venues in Shoreditch and Notting Hill and the doors to their third outpost in Parsons Green (previously Boma) were due to open at the end of March. As yet no customers have enjoyed eating in but they are now open for take away - collection and delivery - at 271 New Kings Road, SW6 4RD. Order via the click and collect section on their web site (link below) or find them on Deliveroo.
We’re really looking forward to trying their rotisserie chicken which they marinate in herbs and spices for 24 hours and comes with a choice of sauces including truffle or garlic mayo and tarragon mustard.
Whenever we get to whatever the new normal is (no we don’t like that expression either but can’t think of a better alternative - working on it) we hope to sample their sharing cheese and charcuterie boards with a cocktail in hand.

Virtual Stage and Screen lessons
We wrote about Take One Stage and Screen when Fulham residents Joe and Daisy launched their academy in Spring last year. They are now running virtual classes and to start with these will be “pay what you want”. Joe will be offering acting 1-1’s for all ages who want to pursue a career in television and film. Daisy is running the performing arts classes for children which can be sent to you pre recorded or will take place on Zoom. On Saturday 6 June at 9 am children can join her Frozen Dance and Drama class - places are being booked fast. If you’re interested find and message them on Facebook and Instagram (see link below).
Local resident and Mum of two Karen W said her girls “loved their first class and will now be taking twice weekly classes they loved it so much. Daisy and Joe are so lovely and make it very easy to enjoy the class. Highly recommended”.
