Sitting at the northwestern entrance to the marble-enriched Edwardian pedestrian arcade Sicilian Ave, the Whippet is a snug modern pub with an emphasis on small-producer craft beers: typically around 10 from the tap and five from casks. Pop-up kitchens such as LIU Xiaomian, specialising in hot-and-numbing noodles from Chongqing, serve lunch here from Tuesday to Friday.
