It's a good job I have my wife to steer my into these sorts of places... After a rather heavy night on the Friday I thought it would be a good idea to head out to the countryside for some fresh air and explore the nearby Marble Bridge area - an area full of nice walks, rivers and some lovely little boutique shops, restaurants and cafes.
Needing to start thinking about working on my hangover with a serious filling of food, I was more excited by next door BBQ restaurant 'South 7'but was convinced that Libby's was a cool place to hit - especially with having our 1 year old daughter in tow. And wow was I impressed - what a lovely cafe/bar that ticks all of the boxes for me.
So first off they do a great lunch menu of full on sandwiches - my wife having what she called a tasty vegan hummus sandwich while I went for the other end of the spectrum by having their pulled pork sandwich (huge and amazing value for £4.50) - both coming with great big salads.
My wife said the coffee was good while I had a bottle of Brooklyn beer (£4.50) - which did hit the spot with the food.
This place has a full bar, an open plan kitchen, seating for about 50 inside and lots of lovely long benches like some east London hipster bar making the mix of customers a range of families, couples, old's and anyone who likes damn good food and drink in a relaxed setting while flicking through the complementary newspapers.
Extra bonus shoutout for the baked in store bread which you can take away - their loaf was duly polished off in record time by me yesterday! read more
