Carnival Pot

It’s midday, you’ve run out of water cooler chat, and have a spreadsheet session at 5pm. Roll up to Carnival Pot—a takeaway Caribbean spot next to Southwark station—for a pick-me-up portion of curry goat to get you through the rest of the day. Orders are taken through the corrugated steel hatch of this old shipping container and will need to be shouted over the thumping music—and most likely repeated. The soft, flavoursome goat is our go-to. It’s got the kind of creeping heat and soft, fall-apart meat that’ll make you feel alive after listening to your co-workers' weekend plans. If you really need cheering up, the slab of mac and cheese, with a crispy crust and comforting creaminess, is a silver bullet against sadness.
