28: Mise En Place - Bar Levan Founder - Mark Gurney on; Parisian Wine Bars, Messy Nights On Mezcal & Punishing 'No Shows'!

Today we find ourselves less than a minutes walk from Peckham station taking refuge in Bar Levan, a Parisian inspired wine bar that serves up an incredible hattrick of delights in; amazing natural wines, gorgeous french food and freshly spun vinyl tunes. We sit down with co-owner and DJ Mark Gurney over a couple of glasses of wine and sample some of their delicious small plates as we chew the fat on everything from; natural wine haters to Angela Hartnett's temper to why there seems to be a Parisian inspired takeover in London to how to punish 'no shows' to the highs and lows of running restaurants to getting into trouble with the council for hosting infamous parties to the simple delights of a French Rotisserie chicken and much much more....
Shout out to Chef Alex who treated us with the most exquisite food imaginable from steak tartare to smoked trout to a morteau sausage that was baked in a brioche and soaked in veal jus with cournichons and mustard = heaven!
