Bedales of Borough in Southwark

Visited on 16th May and had a great night. We have been before but it's a few years ago, it was great back then and still the same now. Cannot fault anything about the place. It was that good we went back the following night. Amy who greeted us both nights deserves a shout out - really friendly, welcoming and helpful. Didn't get the names of everybody who looked after us but they were all so nice. We'll be popping along again next time we are in London.

Very rude manager who is disingenuous with the comments he passes. Has no respect for the law and health and safety regulations. He should be barred from operating this establishment.

solid wine selection, not a ton of options by the glass but enough to enjoy. the food was quite good and creative. if you’re upstairs, the train does go by often though and is very loud - but the view over borough market is neat!

Fantastic! What wonderful dishes and exceptionally good wine. The service was the very best, very knowlegable. Will come again that is for sure.

Incredible time here!! Alex was amazing !!

Wow! No NZ Sauvignon. But they do have Sancerre .......at £75 a bottle! Nice place but!!

The three of us had a lovely night being looked after by Toshio for our anniversary 🖤 many thanks for the start of a wonderful night

Service from Alex was fantastic, would certainly recommend!

If you get there for an early lunch, this place is an oasis from the heaving crowds at Borough Market. Chill at the cool dark ground floor tables or up above on the terrace overlooking the market. The wine list is good with nice options available by the glass. The food was charcuterie and sophisticated tapas-style plates of very high quality - I had two plates around £12-14 each and both were exceptional. There were also a few slightly more robust daily specials available. The staff were all very friendly and happy to discuss the menu in detail. This is the nicest place I have found in a while - I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it.

Pretty terrace Good welcome Very expensive for the quantity...we were hungry after the "meal"

Very impressed by food quality, Ioved the wines selection! Attentive and polite staff especially Patrick, thank you for being so helpful!! 10/10

Excellent service by Alex - great atmosphere and we will come back for sure!

Small plates good selection, service excellent, waiter helpful in recommending food and wine, professional and friendly. Not a lot of atmosphere, hadn't realised the market was closed on Mondays so upper terrace closed which is best for lunch.

Great wine bar. Sat on the terrace overlooking the market and it was wonderful.

During our visit, we had an amazing experience, excellent service and outstanding flavours and thanks to Laili such a character, knowledgeable and friendly with an excellent service !

Pre-theatre food & wine was enjoyable. The plaice was cooked well and very tasty, the wine recommendations were helpful and the service was friendly and efficient. However, the sharing platter was expensive for the limited range and amount.

I have been going to Bedales nearly every weekend for the last four years. This review is long overdue! The wine selection (both by the glass and bottle) has a wide variety to choose from and can please any wine lover. The food is also very good, but I only eat at the bar around once a month. I come back to this place all the time because of the staff. They are very friendly and always take care of me! Evelina, Francesco and the entire team are wonderful! If you have 30 minutes during your visit to Borough Market for a quick glass, Bedales is a must!

Great place for early evening drinks

Lugar divertido cerca del Puente de Londres para vino y mordiscos - el personal amable y sentado fuera da una buena vista sobre el mercado del condado.

We celebrated my son’s 20th birthday at Bedales of Borough, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The team pulled out all the stops to make the evening truly special, thoughtful, attentive and wonderfully accommodating from start to finish. Every request was met with a smile, whether food or wine related, and they created an atmosphere that felt both relaxed and celebratory. A huge thank you to Francesco, Mario, Alex and Tom, you were absolutely brilliant and made the night one to remember.

Alex era un camarero encantador y tenía un gran conocimiento del vino que servía. Gran ambiente y gran vino! La comida era excepcional y lo recomendaría encarecidamente. ¡Gran lugar para que la gente vea también!

Alex was very attentive and is a master in excellent customer service. Delicious wine and cheese! Cute venue. Deffo recommend.

I ordered two glasses of wine. The first was a large glass of red wine, which was enjoyable and as expected. However, when I later ordered a small glass of the same wine, the waiter took my glass behind the bar before returning it to my table. The second glass tasted like vinegar and was undrinkable. This was disappointing and concerning. To ensure quality and transparency, wine by the glass should always be poured at the table.

Lovely atmosphere and service from our waiter Alex, great wine and knowledge in the wines available. Highly recommend…

Alex helped us very well. Kind and correct service.

Nice welcome by a professional host, but thereafter, very patchy, almost amateurish service by staff who seemed determined to avoid eye contact. We could have spent so much more?

Great Wine bar and excellent service by Alex, very kind chap made our experience very enjoyable, we will be back because of him! I'd recommend everybody to have a sit by the balcony overlooking the busy Borough Market. Must try their cheese board and pair it with a lovely wine from their extensive list .

Alex was great!! Vibes were awesome. Will be returning soon

I absolutely loved the cheese platter, and the atmosphere was amazing. The service from laili was 10/10, topped of the evening, highly recommended, and the staff are very welcoming.

Delicious food, I had the cheese platter which I thought was unique and tasty Really appreciated Lyle's help and recommendations on our food choices, thank you aggainn Definitely be visiting again

Such great service by Alex who made our night extra special, will definitely be returning!!

Wow what an experience, the burata is to die for and we also had the cheese platter. *chefs kiss* Thank you Lyle for a magical experience, excellent knowledge of menu, excellent host and superb customer service 10/10 and we will be back very soon

Great afternoon here. Lyle was super helpful

I recently had a fantastic experience at Bedales! Lyle was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. He recommended a bottle of white wine Sancere which was exactly what I was looking for. I’d highly recommend this place!

¿Quieres una copa de vino y dónde mejor que este bar de vinos? Estaba ocupado, pero encontramos un taburete junto a la caja y disfrutamos de una copa de vino de naranja y un poco de efervescencia.

A brilliant bar in London Bridge with a great atmosphere and super service! Everyone there is so friendly and helpful, but a particular shout out to our waiter, Lyle, who made our evening very memorable, and suggested some truly excellent wines!

Beautiful bar, great vibes, nice food - and our server, Alex, was the man! Steered us through the wine list like a pro and kept us very entertained

Really enjoyed our evening at Bedales Borough Market, Alex was great and helped us choose the right food and wine pairings - thank you!

Bedales of Borough Market is a cozy gem in the heart of London’s Borough Market, perfect for wine lovers and foodies alike. The wine selection is fantastic, with a mix of well-known and unique bottles, and the small plates are delicious especially borough platter and beetroot salad. The atmosphere is charming whether you’re inside or enjoying the outdoor space under the train tracks. Service is top notch, and Lyle, in particular, is a great guy attentive, friendly, and always happy to recommend the perfect wine. If you’re looking for a relaxed yet sophisticated spot to enjoy great wine and food, Bedales is a must visit

I’d like to give a huge shout-out to Lyle for the incredible service. He had an impressive knowledge of the wine selection. Lovely place, great atmosphere, had a great time ..

The night was amazing but it only got better when Alex served us, he was very talkative and friendly, made us feel comfortable and knew a lot about he wine selections! I would definitely recommend Alex as your server

Lovely food and wine as always and wonderful hospitality from our waiter Alex!

Alex was my waiter what a great waiter! Suggested the best wine on the planet thank you!

Thank you Alex for your great service !!!

The food was incredible. Alex was amazing and helped us find the right wine - brilliant experience👍❤️

Great view and experience. Thanks to Alex, he did an amazing job

The atmosphere at Bedales of Borough Market is wonderful, and the wines are excellent! The experience was made even better by the impeccable service—our waiter, Alex, was incredibly friendly and sociable, and his wine recommendation was spot on. I wish all waiters were like him! I’ll definitely be back!

We just returned from a mini birthday celebration at your place. First of all, the blond girl who served us was so gracious, kind and sincere, many thanks to her! And the Jerusalem artichoke dish was delicious!

Outstanding service. ,very knowledgeable about all the wines on offer. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you sooooo much to Alex!!!!! Can't wait to come back!

We had the most delicious lunch at Bedales..the very best of fresh ingredients, excellent wine and amazing service. Fabrizio advised us perfectly on wine and food choices and we weren’t disappointed! Five stars in every way..Hope to return soon!

Brilliant as always, staff are all courteous and friendly. Atmosphere is lively and congenial and the food is delightful.

Cosy classic wine bar with good by the glass options and great cheese & charcuterie. Shout out to Lyle our server who was still entertaining and chatty on a packed Friday downstairs

This is such a great wine bar. We sat in the balcony overlooking the market. Just fantastic. We enjoyed a bottle or reasonably priced red wine and a delicious cheese selection. Mushroom skewers were also delicious. I’m only giving three stars as the king prawns were so disappointing. We got three average tasking prawns for nearly £20. Such a shame as we enjoyed everything else.

I want to personally thank you Alex for providing us such a great experience! Helped us to select the wine, gave us the best chair in the house AND never stoped smiling ! It’s refreshing to see when the staff are not just adequately trained but they truly enjoy working in this environment. The wine never fails to please here , when you come in definitely ask for Alex . I do hope he will get the right appreciation and reward. Well done , be assured will be back!

Was fab . Booked an outdoor table but told outdoors was closed on arrival but then it was opened and the whole experience tbf was fabulous …..

Great food, fab wine and lovely staff. What more could you want!!

My favourite wine bar in London Bridge. Perfect for a few glasses of wine, and amazing cheese boards. Tricky to get a spot if you haven’t booked but you can often get lucky if just popping in as a couple for a glass or two.

We stopped in for a drink before dinner and had a great time - the service was particularly good, friendly but professional - we asked for a recommendation for the wines we drank and enjoyed both the red and the white. Perfect for what we wanted. Thank you.

Disappointing experience. Upon arrival, we were offered a table with only one chair, and the waitress suggested one of us eat standing up due to a lack of stools. Eventually, a second chair was found. When asking about a dish, the waiter simply said it was described in the menu, which only listed ingredients. After ordering, he ignored us, not checking if we needed anything else or wanted to pay. We had to find him ourselves to request the bill, which he handed over silently while appearing annoyed. They automatically added over 10% for service. The food was decent, but the service was so poor that I wouldn’t recommend it. Improvement in customer service would greatly enhance the dining experience.

Amazing, dog friendly, place with unrivalled views over Borough Market. Camillo managed to fit us in on a busy day with our dog so we could enjoy yummy wine with a delicious whipped ricotta crostini

As always great service and food. Love the atmosphere and the staff were super helpful. Pumpkin fritto was excellent. Will go again.

Great wine selection and knowledgeable staff!

We had a wonderful time, thank you!

During our visit, we had an amazing experience, thanks in part to our waiter, Lali. He recommended a fantastic Sicilian wine that paired beautifully with the prawns we ordered. Lali’s knowledge and attentiveness made our meal very enjoyable. Overall, excellent service and outstanding flavors—highly recommend!

Perfect place for wine, within borough market, here you will find Lali, who is a very helpful and kind waiter!

Wonderful place with a variety of wines. Very nice waiter Lali.

The place is comfort with a huge list of wines. Waiter Lalis was really helpful and kind to us. Must visit.

Visited on Friday 21.02.25 for a bottle of wine on way to a lunch reservation for a friends 60th Birthday, we had a nice table at the back of the terrace overlooking the market and our server was Danielle. She was absolutely fabulous, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Will definitely return to eat also next time as the food looked and smelt amazing.

Fantastic spot! Hidden gem. We had a lovely table on the roof terrace overlooking Borough Market.

Great wine, great food. Gabriele was our server and he was outstanding: attentive, knowledgeable, informative, and a perfect combination of being there at the right time, but also not too much. He should be running his own bar in a few years! Bar and kitchen staff were really friendly and overall the experience was highly recommended!

Amazing wine and Alex was a great host to us. Really funny and he knew his wines✨

Great wine selection, amazing atmosphere and Alex was exceptional, extremely friendly and took really good care of us.

Lovely evening. The lady hostess sat us outside downside and when we said it wasn't ideal, she said she. would do her best to sit us upstairs on the terrace.She looked after us brilliantly, found us a table upstairs and was a brilliant hostess.

Honestly, this has been the best customer I have ever had in 5 years in London. Shout to Gabriele - Mattia - Matthew!!

It’s a lovely buzzing place with good wines and amazing service. The staff is very friendly, professional. Highly recommend. Francesco is the best!

Celebrated a birthday with 5 friends. It’s been a long-standing place to celebrate and enjoy wine at for many years. Alway happy to return to.
