Borough Market offers a host of places to eat and drink. Besides indoor restaurants, bars, cafés and pubs, there are stalls selling street food, many around the Borough Market Kitchen, which is an outdoor, covered food court. Here is a selection of the best.
1 Richard Haward Oysters
For eight generations, the Haward family has been cultivating oysters in the River Blackwater, purifying them with sea water, which gives them a unique flavour. They can be enjoyed with a glass of chilled wine on its permanent stall on Stoney Street.
2 The Ginger Pig
The Ginger Pig butcher’s specialise in the art of sausage making. The meat is sourced from small farmers who practise good animal husbandry and all sausages and burgers are made by hand. Its sausage rolls now have their own cult following!
3 Horn OK Please
“Horn OK Please” is a slogan often seen on cars and rickshaws in India and was the inspiration for the street food stall by couple Gaurav and Sandhya. It serves delicious vegetarian dishes such as moong dal dosa, dosa chaat and egg kati rolls.
4 Furness Food Hut
People queue every day for this stall’s famous bomba paella, where a packed plate costs £10. It also sells seasonal fish and shellfish in the neighbouring stall, Furness Fish & Game, all stocked by its owner, Furness Food in Cumbria.
5 Humble Crumble
Those with a sweet tooth can head for the “world’s first crumble bar”. Humble Crumble sells homemade fruit crumbles, using ethically sourced ingredients. Its stall in Borough Kitchen Market also offers crumble bundles ready to bake at home.
