Since 1999 our focus has never changed, quality and responsible sourcing is still our main concern…we just look a bit more fancy now! Our central location in Borough Market means that London’s best produce is right on our doorstep. We are proud to say that we source most of our produce from Borough Market itself, and our fish is delivered daily from our very own fishmonger, Jarvis, which is renowned for its extensive range of the freshest fish and seafood.

It was a very enjoyable evening with delicious Valentine menu. There was plenty of food and the four of us all found something we particularly favoured. It was busy which made for a pleasant atmosphere and not too loud.

Lovely bar; great music and a wide array of drinks to choose from. Even the non alcoholic drinks were lovely. Bit crowded, but they do with their space what they’re able to; small price to pay for good ambiance and great music.

Had a great time with our experience overall (always). We celebrated my friend's bday and it went well. The staff was really accommodating and was quick in terms of service. Me and my husband are regular customer in this pizza resto. Their pizza is always on the top our list. Kudos to all the staff specially to the manager who is always providing the best service.👌 We'll definitely come back soon!
