Kricket

Founded by university friends Will Bowlby and Rik Campbell in 2015, in the form of a 20-seater shipping container in Pop Brixton. The space came shortly after Rik left his job in finance to focus on the hospitality sector and Will returned from living and working as a head chef in India to working under Vivek Singh at London’s Cinnamon Kitchen. They joined forces to create their own Indian-inspired restaurant – with Rik leading the front of house and Will in the kitchen. The pair opened their first permanent restaurant in Soho in January 2017, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand in the first year. In 2018 they opened Kricket Brixton and Kricket White City and in September 2021 they opened their debut bar, SOMA, in Soho. In Spring 2024, Kricket is set to open a fourth restaurant and an adjacent SOMA “Part 2” in Canary Wharf, Frobisher Passage.
