BOROUGH MARKET
3 ROCHESTER WALK, LONDON, SE1 9AF
CELEBRATE
WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY OR WORK COLLEAGUES
PICK UP OR DELIVERY
Our dearly beloved bare brick Victorian railway arch is a short walk from London Bridge, in the heart of Borough Market – where our journey started way back in the early noughties as ‘Market Traders’. Join us at the polished concrete bar to watch our chefs at work and linger over a Levantine inspired cocktail, or hunker down for a Middle Eastern style feast. The menu draw inspiration from adventures through the fertile valleys of Jordan, mountain villages of Lebanon and vibrant cities of Istanbul, Beirut, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Atmospheric at any time of day with the lively bustle of market life and a soundtrack to lift your spirit – Meat-eaters, pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans will all find plenty to please from the vibrant array of colourful meze and small plates, flatbreads from the clay oven and pasture-fed meat and day-boat fish from the charcoal grill. A convivial place for family, friends, or solo enjoyment, anytime of day.
