Menus

The launch menu includes bay-salted sole with fennel and pickled chilli, marinated peppers with basil, and Forza staples, such as cauliflower fritti, soft-serve ice cream and Custardo.

Classic cocktails will be available alongside signature cocktails like cherry negroni, limonata bianca and a frozen peach margarita (in peach season – look out for other flavours).

When we say the menu changes with the seasons, it really does, and here’s what was offered on 7 September:

The team

Forza Win is an independent south-east London restaurant brand owned by childhood friends, Bash Redford and Michael Lavery. It started as a supper club in 2012 and after five successful sold-out years, Forza Win opened as a restaurant.

Forza now has ‘Forza Wine’ Peckham, a rooftop wine, cocktail and snack bar with exceptional views of London, and Forza Win a ‘proper’ sit down 5 course Italian restaurant in Camberwell. Forza is inspired by fond memories of growing up in Manchester where Italian(ish) restaurants were central hubs of the local town.

Forza Wine is all about delicious food and drinks delivered by people who do things properly, make you feel welcome and don’t take the whole thing too seriously. If you leave full and happy (having enjoyed a few drinks) then we’re good.
