Fed and Watered Making Surprise Comeback
Churchfield Road venue reopening initially as a bar
Signs of life at Fed & Watered
November 2, 2023
Fed and Watered, the popular bar and restaurant on Churchfield Road, is making a surprise return after its closure this August.
Owner Chris Walsh had announced that he was shutting the establishment on Instagram after three years in the area. The inauspicious timing of the launch during Covid and the current economic situation were given as the reason for the decision.
However, the venue on the corner of Myrtle Road which is marked out by the famous ‘Shisoka’ mural and featured in the TV series Motherland, is now reopening four evenings a week as a bar only from 4pm to 11pm Wednesday to Saturday. Dubbed ‘Poets’ on its web site it is hoped that ultimately the kitchen will reopen.
It is understood that a deal with the landlord has allowed the venue to restart on a limited trial basis.
