Description

For this (rather lengthy) mini-sode, Malaika and Harleigh jump onto a trending topic over on X about a well known black owned pub, Prince of Peckham, that hosts the non-black owned residency ‘White Men Can’t Jerk’.

Is there more that black chefs and restauranteurs could be doing to ensure their businesses are ready to grow in residency spaces like this? Join the conversation…
