A sanctuary where sound, smoke, and hospitality converge. From rare West African highlife pressing sessions to guided rum discoveries and unhurried hearthside banquets, explore our curated calendar of communal evenings in the historic heart of Canterbury.
Every gathering is paired with analogue vinyl curation, low warm lighting, and relaxed seating.
Immerse yourself in vintage Ghanaian and Nigerian highlife pressed on authentic vinyl, spun live by guest selector Kwabena. Our kitchen hearth serves ember-seared suya skewers, slow-simmered plantain medallions, and infused palm-wine cocktail carafes beneath the warm timber beams.
