Welcome to Deserted Cactus, a Caribbean-inspired, plant-based restaurant in Peckham, South London. I’m Esme, and I opened Deserted Cactus in 2017 after a chance opportunity led me to take over this space. What started as a spontaneous decision has blossomed into a place where bold Caribbean flavours meet plant-based creativity.

​

Our menu is all about fresh, vibrant dishes made with love, celebrating the best of Caribbean cuisine while keeping it plant-based. Whether you’re a local or visiting, we invite you to experience the heart and warmth of the Caribbean right here in Peckham.

Come join us for food that’s nourishing, flavourful, and full of life!
