PECKHAM

Tender pork shoulder cooked down thoroughly, finely shredded, and tossed in rich sauce is the hallmark of the homemade pulled pork at Kita-Senju's PECKHAM. At lunchtime, the centerpiece choice is the PECKHAM sandwich set, which stuffs this juicy pork shoulder into pita pockets alongside tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, and onion. The savory meat juices and crisp vegetables spill generously from the thin pita dough, and with 2 halves served per portion, it makes for a thoroughly satisfying meal. The accompanying crunchy fries deliver a crisp bite that goes well with ketchup or mayonnaise.

For an evening drop-in over a drink, the Thai raw sausage makes a distinctive bar snack. It carries a clean, refreshing acidity that pairs easily with beer or cocktails. There is no cover charge, making it easy to stop in casually for a single glass on the way home from work or during an evening stroll.

Inside, the room is equipped with amplifiers, guitars, and a DJ booth, creating a relaxed setting to unwind while listening to records chosen from the shelves. Up on the 2nd floor, an integrated CD shop focuses primarily on indie releases, allowing independent music culture and neighborhood warmth to blend seamlessly together. From an afternoon coffee break to an evening with drinks and music, the space welcomes visits at any pace.
