The Rapscallion is small, but there’s also outside seating on Clapham’s pretty Venn Street. The well-stocked bar is a major attraction and if you charm the bar staff enough they may make you your very own bespoke cocktail (trust us, this has happened). We enjoyed crispy squid to start and then a deliciously sticky hoisin chicken breast with creamy sweet potato and cleansed the palate the only way we know how: with a Hendrick’s sling.
