Borough has been known for its food markets since as far back as the 11th century. First the stallholders were trading on old London Bridge, but then in the 13th century they were moved to what became Borough High Street. A market has been here ever since. Borough Market has grown to over individual stalls. There are the traditional fruit, vegetables, bread and meat but these days the market reflects how cosmopolitan London eats. There are wine merchants, stalls selling olives, cheeses and spices. A jewel box of gastronomic delights. We visited on Sunday when the market is closed. That was by choice as it gave the opportunity to really appreciate the Victorian architecture and even a brass plate set in the ground commemorating an association between the market, Switzerland and the Olympic Games! Sunday lunch was the next priority. The ceiling is arched, displaying the exposed brick of the original functional architecture. The urban theme continues with the use of school chairs and wooden tables. Harmonious design in natural materials and not over-themed.

An ideal starter selection to enjoy with a table of friends. And the lot we got was very good indeed.

We hope you enjoy the Arabica experience. We carefully choose the people and suppliers we work with to ensure their values and ethics match up with our own.

But like you, I thought the prices were high for what you get. Made from vodka, sloe, lemon and sugar, with a finish of sumac and egg white, this was visually appealing and rather harked back to the days of Speak-Easys and prohibition. The ice cream was lightly flavoured rather than giving a hit of piney resin. The urban theme continues with the use of school chairs and wooden tables. For groups of between 8 — 2o guests, book on line by clicking the book a table button — Select a date, time, preferred menus and welcome drinks. A great place to pop to after work. Our banquet closed with knafeh — a slab of shredded filo pastry cooked in butter and soaked in syrup, encasing a treasure of cheese at the centre.
