RUBEN DAWNAY
Ruben Dawnay rose from the lockdown ashes by setting out to smoke meats and home-cured fish from the garden of his parents' Brixton abode.
Paying homage to his Polish-Jewish heritage, Ruben’s Reubens was born. Since then, Ruben has been recognised by CODE Hospitality as one of their 30 under 30 rising stars to watch, dominated several pop-ups across the city, mastered the meal kits trend and served up dishes at multiple Meatopia events.
Following on from the success of his Brixton site, he has taken up residence in Peckham Arches for summer 24.
We've teamed up with Ruben to create Beer-B-Q Smoked Pale Ale and a range of recipes to enliven your cooking this summer.

Freddie Payne
Photographer @freddiepayne
Freddie Payne is a self-taught photographer based in south London, he shot the amazing photographs of Brixton that we've used throughout our 2023 advertising campaign.
Back in 2014, Freddie found himself captivated by the old SLR camera used in the film 'City of God', and the distinctive sound it made. Intrigued, he retrieved his father's forgotten ‘70s camera from a cupboard, and started simply winding the lever and firing the shutter, just for the noise and feel.
After experimenting with his first ever roll of film, Freddie soon discovered a passion worth pursuing, honing his distinctive style on the streets of south London. Freddie’s work finds inspiration in all the eccentricities and idiosyncrasies of modern Britain, often embracing its offbeat traditions and quirks.
Today, he favours a Contax G2 camera paired with Kodak film.

Ayo Salawu
Drummer @ayosalawudrums
Ayo Salawu is a drummer and composer based in London, who produced a piece of music in collaboration with Renato (see below) for our 2023 campaign inspired by Brixton's Coldharbour Lane. Most known for his work with Kokoroko and artist Oscar Jerome, his work covers the grounds of Afrobeat, Soul, Funk, Gospel, Hip-Hop, RnB, Jazz, Reggae and beyond.
Being half-Bermudian and having had multiple visits to the Island over his years, combined with growing up in Nigeria in his early childhood, sparked his interest in the drums at a very young age. This started through Church and then continued in his teen years after moving to the UK, where he was exposed to Rock, Punk, and Grime music cultures.
