– Teacake presents : A Pint Of Mixed / Eggs No Soldiers & Other Unseen Moments
From March 1st 2012 Teacake will be exhibiting a special collection of photographs taken by the late Tom Culley. Split over two venues, this installation of large-scale images offers a glimpse into the varied past times of one man and his closest companions.
Discovered inadvertently, these images taken from a collection of over 5000 meticulously cherished slides portray life through the eyes of an accomplished amateur photographer. Always fascinated by the colourful antics of ordinary people enjoying extraordinary activities this perspective is both personal and insightful.
Only ever before seen as part of a good old-fashioned slide show theseare nostalgic, heart-warming and often-humorous portraits of life as it happened.
Tom’s passion for photography was simple; his aim was to preserve the funniest, most charming, most special and most poignant moments in order to share them with his loved ones.
Now we are lucky enough to be able to share them with you in the form of ‘Eggs no Soldiers’‚ at Common and ‚’A Pint of Mixed’ at Port Street Beer House.

– Meet The Brewer with Brodie’s Brewery / Monday 27th February
Our second Meet The Brewer of 2012 welcomes our first London guests, Brodies. This will coincide with the launch of our small festival ‘London Week’ running from Tuesday 28th February until Sunday 4th March
// Brewery info
In June 2008 Jamie and Lizzie Brodie took over an abandoned brewery in East London. After six weeks hard work cleaning, replacing missing equipment and fixing up what was left, Brodie’s beers was born.
Brodies IPA was first brewed on the 8th August. Based on a recipe that Jamie used to brew in his bath at home it proved to be a hit with punters. Two years and thirty nine different beers later Brodie’s is still going strong. We even have our own small (very small) bottling machine incase you want to take some of our beer home with you!
