Bermondsey Larder in Southwark

I dived into a robust sourdough loaf with whipped herb noisette, before sharing a salad of courgettes and whipped (there’s a lot of it about) ricotta, sage and rocket salsa verde – so densely green you could almost feel the chlorophyll – and a fabulously satisfying grilled radicchio with broad bean purée and pickled Tropea onions (a super-sweet variety from Calabria)

Really enjoyed this place. Good service, great food noon live and wine and some top sunday afternoon live music

The Bermondsey Larder surprised us with the fantastic taste of the food and the brilliant hospitality. Perhaps it is because the decor doesn’t insinuate a brilliant dining experience… to the contrary, we had a fantastic dinner with friend. We particularly recommend the crispy potatoes! Yum!

Delicious food and lovely service

What a gem of a find!!! This was DEEEE LISH! Congrats to the chef and the waiting staff. Some places are just like boomerangs… you keep going back. Was recommended to me by a friend who’s been there 4 times. Magical ingredients bursting with quality and creating a cirque de soleil performance in the mouth! People… just go! Fantastic Ala Carte or fixed pescatarian or meat menu for £47, or vegetarian for £40. So many dishes!!!! We couldn’t get dessert in. Value for money with a capital V!

Rude staff on more than one visits

Went on Saturday for lunch- Sourdough bread was amazing! Service was overbearing, intrusive and rude, sort of ruined the whole experience.

Terrific, Michelin-star-worthy modern British food in a casual, dog-friendly environment. Excellent in all respects, particularly the service, which is exemplary. Don’t skip dessert - the meal finishes on a high. Possibly the best restaurant in the area.

Impeccable service and food. The taster menu is sublime with awesome originality ingredients, prep, cooking and presentation. I don’t know what the chefs are up to but some kind of wizardry is at play with how they transform staple ingredients into an alchemy of flavours and textures. The staff are super enthusiastic and energetic, the whole place buzzes with excitement adding to the experience. Considering the quantity we ate the menu was great value and the natural wines on offer added yet more originality and fun to the evening.

A fantastic dinner. Really impressed by the Larder, got a good vibe going on. Front of House staff are amazing. It was fairly busy and service ran with calm precision. It makes for a good atmosphere for the guest to relax. Every dish was devine. A quirky menu with interesting combinations. The Char Siu skewers, Monkfish with Cauliflower and a simply superb spiced Duck dish stood out in particular. We loved the sharing dishes format and it didn't break the bank. Good value for the standard of cooking delivered.

The tasting menu was good enough, some dishes exceptional, some just not at all attractive (there was a Tarte made with fragrant shallots that was very passable) but overall good menu and friendly service and atmosphere

It is mind boggling to me that this establishment has not already received a michelan star. The food was out of this world- amazing flavors and such depth to each flavor of every item within the tasting menu. The service and ambiance were flawless. Will be back again ASAP!

Great restaurant, good service, delicious food

Have the roast potatoes. So good.

What an experience! Must be honest I went in not expecting much, but everything was perfect. The waiter was super helpful and nice, the food impeccable. We were a group of foodies and we were all completely stunned by the food and the service. Well done! We did the set menu with wine pairing

My husband and I had unexpected brilliant evening here! Our waiter was attentive and friendly! 5 star service! We will definitely come back

We came back for our second time recently (initial review below from seven months ago). Glad to say it’s still excellent. The service is brilliant and food amazing. A hidden gem just off Bermondsey Street. Food was very nice and service was really attentive, informative and friendly. Also, really nice cocktails. We really enjoyed the meal. Thank you for a lovely evening. Highly recommend, we will be back.

A true hidden gem off the hustle and bustle of Bermondsey Street. The tasting menu is genuinely incredible; creative, varied and absolutel delicious. I honestly can't recommend it enough!

Delicious tasting menu, so original. My boyfriend said ‘one of the best meals of my life’.

Delicious food and very attentive service, a hidden gem

Sunday lunch - the food was excellent the staff were unbelievable - friendly knowledge and just really great people made the afternoon really special - thank you!

Big recommend! Stunning food, every dish was unique and delicious. More than anything the staff took great care of us. Great spot.

Best meal I've had in a while in London. Instantly my new local favourite, despite not being exactly cheap.

The most memorable thing was the bill 😅 Nice bread, croquettes and beef tartare. Staff were very friendly.

Overall the food was of a good quality and I’d rate the experience 3.5/5. The best dishes were the plaice, the beets and the beef tartare. Some of the other dishes lacked flavour - the courgette flower, the pork. Portions were small for the price and service was extremely slow.

A truly hidden gem just off Bermondsey street. Very fine, super elaborate and pretty creative food. Super friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Great outdoor space. A few visits over the course of the past year - quality of food and service always been top notch. A high quality fine dining experience in a pretty relaxed setting. Could not recommend enough!

Amazing - please continue what you do. This was my second visit and I it was as great as the 1st. Attentive team @ front of house - thank you The food is delicious - what a find and I will return for more of the same

Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Restaurant very light and airy with unusual but excellent menu

We felt so taken care of at Bermondsey Larder. The staff were so friendly and knowledgable. Also, the food was exquisite - the flavours and uniqueness of the dishes really blew us away. Do yourself a favour and order their signature negroni, it’s delightful.

Unreal food interesting wine and lovely spot with outside seating - could not recommend more highly

I had lunch here recently and the food (and wine) was delicious. The staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant, and to top it off the venue is dog-friendly. Definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

Food was absolutely delicious. Really inventive menu and extremely flavoursome. Service was fantastic, as were the wines. Highly recommend. Decor very nice as well. Will go again.

Lovely service and amazing food! Really loved the potato bread and tomato/crab dish. Had a great time and everything was perfect!

Amazing food and service. Fresh and tasty , great vegetarian choices and nice space. Seasonal produce and knowledgable staff - good wine list

I've been asked to leave a review, so here are my 2 pence: Ambience was great, staff were superb, I mean it, they were great, but guys you seriously need to review your portions-size policy. I understand you need to make a margin, nothing wrong with that, but portion were ridiculously small and far overpriced given the size. I would aspect that from a Michelin star restaurant, which you're not. Food was really good but definitely not worth the price, even for London, the size-price ratio is simply unacceptable. I'm no new to fine dining and what comes with it, but to put it bluntly what you do is nothing more than squeezing money out of customers. After having a costly full lunch at yours, myself and my party ended up having right away another full meal in a different restaurant. P.S. Please don't call your dessert "for two" (and charge as much) when really it's something smaller than the palm of my hand. Seriosuly this is bad.

Such a lovely hidden spot - perfect quiet courtyard between two Bermondsey parks. Granted, we went here during the Jubilee, so maybe it's a little less peaceful on most days, but mega cool restaurant, nice outdoor seating, and really good food. This is definitely the kind of place that you go for for quality over quantity, and I left feeling satisfied but not outrageously full. Everything is gorgeously presented and the wait staff are very knowledgeable and affable - shout out to Lars for showing us a great time. He described all the dishes perfectly, had fantastic recommendations, and a lovely light-hearted disposition that we all loved. Definitely give this a try, but don't come here starving!

Poor, ‘Happy hour’ drinks, beer was £5… but its usually £5… the aperol spritz is the same deal, you just get a smaller one. food was ok, some really nice things and excellent quality, just very small portions. Bread excellent

Arriving at 7pm the place was empty but by 8pm it was pumping. We took the set menu with matching wines and it was no hassle to substitute the lamb with sweet breads. Both our waiters were excellent explaining the dishes and wines. This restaurant was a great find!

Fabulous food and outstanding service! The food was spectacular - small tasting plates that we shared - the aged beef tartare and the cuttlefish being two standout favourites. The service was exceptional - everyone was so knowledgeable about the food and wine, gave great recommendations and brought real passion and interest to the whole experience. On a Sunday afternoon there is live music in the courtyard - which on a sunny afternoon was just perfect!

Delicious food, wonderful staff, great atmosphere and fantastic live music! Thank you for the beautiful day!

Gorgeous food with even better service. Brilliant lunch on a Saturday. Check the vegetarian/ vegan menu.

I really want to like this place. Perhaps we got unlucky. As you walk in, you’re presented with a co-working space that I’m sure is inviting during the day, but the sight of 20+ people working on their laptops on a Friday night with a DJ playing next to them… raised eyebrows. We kept walking, the interiors are fresh, the music chilled, and the ambience friendly. We were quickly sat at a high table with stools and offered menus by a friendly member of waiting staff. The menu is where the issues began: while the individual items appeared tempting, the structure (small plates, medium plates, large plates, all denoted by nothing other than price) seemed like it was designed to bamboozle the reader into ordering the “a la carte” option at £48 / head. Is it worth paying £48 / head to not suffer the complexity of an unnecessarily difficult menu? On this occasion I didn’t think so. As a group of four in a seemingly chilled atmosphere, the prices and menu seemed to be mismatched with the ambience and service. We ended up ordering the a la carte menu “for two people” (which apparently needed staff approval) plus a few plates to share between the four of us. None of us came out to spend £200+ on food tonight. The service: while the staff were friendly and seemingly tried their best, we waited for ~30 mins between courses that we were told would “gently arrive as you ate”. Having sat down at 7:45, and not received our mains until gone 10, the price started to feel ever more offensive. The small plates were small. Charcuterie (for two people), for instance, involved TWO slices of salami roughly the size of a £2 coin, 2 slithers of ham, and 3 slices of pickled vegetable. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a pathetic plate. Throughout the meal it was also difficult to understand what we had paid for and what we were going to receive. The main course was delightful though: the lamb was a generous portion and was cooked to perfection. It almost made up for everything. There were delicious dishes and some friendly service, but everything was overshadowed by a feeling of being ripped off and chaos. By the end of the meal we didn’t know what we actually paid for, what was given to us by mistake, and what was given to us out of generosity / to apologise for the slow chaotic service. If they introduce some simplicity to the menu and can address the chaos of service on a busy evening then I’d consider visiting again for the good food and energised atmosphere.

Excellent food, great service, nice setting. Well done guys!

Outstanding menu food service and ambiance great way to spend a Sunday afternoon live music was an added bonus knowledgeable friendly staff

The food was imaginative and excellent. It's hard to pick one item out but if I had to it would be the pollock dish. Beautifully presented and the flavours complemented each other perfectly The staff were attentive, courteous, knowledgable and friendly

The food was imaginative and excellent. It's hard to pick one item out but if I had to it would be the pollock dish. Beautifully presented and the flavours complemented each other perfectly The accompanying wines for the tasting menu were well matched and were each unusual and interesting. They had searched out small producers whose wines were from areas and from grapes oy do not ofeten come across The staff were attentive, courteous, knowledgable and friendly

Great value lunch men, delicious food and superb service. Will be coming back for dinner some time!

What a terrific way to spend Sunday afternoon. Food was fresh and tasty from the set menu. Great presentation. Lovely wines, and the team explained the story behind each glass and each course. Live music thrown in to the mix. A real eye opener and something to enjoy. Thank you. Well worth my 5 hour drive.

We’ve dined at Bermondsey Larder three times in the past year and it’s consistently some of the best food we’ve eaten in London. Their dishes are always creative and beautifully presented, but most importantly are just really tasty. And at a price point that is really very good value as well. The wine list and wider drinks menu is also very on point and pretty keenly priced. We’ve always had really nice wines for under £30 a bottle. The service is also extremely friendly and this really adds to the experience. Waiting staff and bar staff are always very happy to talk everything through and really know their stuff. Although the location may seem a bit incongruous it’s actually a really nice space, part of a wider hotel/housing development. It’s never felt to intensely full or loud when we’ve been there, but at the same time there’s always a good atmosphere and vibe. There’s outside seating with heaters in the summer which is also a bonus. We were too engrossed in the food to take photos - maybe next time!

Everything about our visit was perfect. The steak (sirloin not bavette) was perfectly cooked - they prefer to cook it medium rare, and the starter of toasted sourdough with Baron Bigod, walnuts and local honey was fantastic. Good selection of local beers, and the service was faultless. let's hope the Larder survives - it deserves to after the Dairy problem. Highly recommended.

I made an impromptu visit and was welcomed by the lovely Bruna at the bar and was promptly seated. The amazing Alessandra who is the General Manager and expert sommelier along with the equally knowledgeable and very polite Lewis guided me through the wonderful 5 course taster menu with the most brilliantly paired wines - all very refreshing and unique. Allesandra's passion for the various wines was extraordinary as she outlined the various bio dynamic ones in addition to each vineyard's ethos and production processes. Anoushka joined later and presented the very delicious dessert with the pairing dessert wine. Again very knowledgeable and welcoming as the whole crew. Lovely feel good restaurant and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you Bermondsey Larder. I'll certainly be back..probably next time for one of Allessandra's wine tasting monthly classes ! 😊.

We ate this evening for the first time at the Bermondsey Larder. It is a stylish restaurant and the food is delicious and different, without being fussy or trendy. Decent sized portions unlike some restaurants where you can still be hungry at the end of the meal, but attractively presented with surprising flavour combinations. Lance, who served us was knowledgeable about the food, warm and friendly. We live locally and will certainly return and recommend it to our friends.

This restaurant is a real hidden gem. The food, service, and wine selection is just sensational. The staff are warm and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Despite being metres away form very many popular coffee shops, this place seems to be completely unaware of how to serve coffee. For a flat white or an americano we were offered either an old fashioned bone china teacup or a handless small beaker - neither of which were suitable. Staff were not helpful - other than to suggest if this wasn't appropriate then 'we could offer a drinking glass' for the coffee! Incredible - no wonder they were virtually empty on such a popular day.

Although I live only minutes walk away the Bermondsey Larder is still quite tricky to find located as it is down a walkway connecting Tower Bridge Road and Bermondsey street but search it out - its glorious. Beautifully designed and looking 'precise' but with a welcoming casual vibe that belies the attention to detail that the menu delivers. A good mix of meat free options as standard but also a steak tartare that was simply corking. My favourite  item on the menu was a  cocktail - the ginger daquiri was new to me properly zingy and a sensation

This team deserve a lot of praise. Everything from the service to the food was SPOT ON! Each dish lived up to the next and it was fantastic value for money. The team were knowledgeable, attentive and super friendly. Will 100% come back

Very high quality produce and creative cooking. Venison was phenomenal as well as the smoked eggplant dip if you like eggplant. Cocktails are great and different of what is served elsewhere. Very attentive and helpful staff. Nice, bright and airy setting away from the main street.

Few reviews yet, of course this is due to covid - it curtailed many businesses this year including this one - which was The Dairy in Clapham (much loved) and now reborn under an apart hotel near Tower Bridge, close to the Bridge Theatre. Amazing...

From being greeted to leaving time this is a first class restaurant - deserving of a Michelin star. Every single member of the staff was friendly, efficient & professional. Superb value for money tasting menu at just under £50 including several starter courses with bread,...

Lovely meal today. Attentive staff. Great atmosphere and enjoyed the background music. Thank you

Probably the best food in the area and slick service that is spot on. A much needed boost to Bermondsey Street after some recent high profile restaurant closures. The mushroom dish in particular was superb. Highly recommended.

We had the tasting menu and matched wine and it was delicious. The smoked aubergine dip was outstanding, as well as beef main course with black garlic sauce-I licked my plate. We thought it was really good value for the quality of the food. The...

Had the tasting menu, food excellent and wine pairing worked very well. The staff were charming l, attentive and knowledgeable. Great lunch, would recommend and will be back.

My partner told me she had previously visited The Dairy at Clapham, and was dismayed to find that it had shut. Then she discovered that the owners had opened this restaurant in Bermondsey, just down from Tower Bridge, so booked us in for a meal...

I was excited to try this place which pitched itself as a local farm to table restaurant. We booked to sit outside but there wasn’t any lighting at all. Not wanting to sit in the dark, we sat inside instead. The waitress was lovely. Drinks were very good - I ordered a cocktail which was beautifully presented and delicious. I watched the drinks go out the bar all night and they all looked great. We had the pickles (fine, but overly sweet) and rosemary and potato bread with smoked butter which was very good. I ordered the skate. It was dry and under seasoned. The beans were tasteless and vegetables oddly slimey. I returned it and they took it off our bill. My family both had the duck, which came extremely rare. They enjoyed it but didn’t feel good later that evening. Both dishes were recommended by our host. I’m only writing this review because my experience was so different from the other reviews here. I feel like I went to a totally different restaurant. Maybe we went on a bad night?

The food was delicious and the staff were absolutely lovely but quite blase about the mouse that ran under out table twice before starters. We had to ask to move to a bar stool table in the end as we couldn't concentrate on dinner... So one star deducted for the uninvited furry visitor but if we had come on a mouse-free day it might have been one of my favourite meals I've had!

Had a stunning evening here. Staff were incredibly friendly and well informed on the menu and wine options. We had the tasting menu and drinks pairing which I think were incredibly well matched and stunning value. Will recommend to anyone who cares to listen

We honestly had the best time! A patient of mine had recommended the Dairy but I never managed to go until the rebranding happened in Bermondsey. Absolutely loved the tasting menu!! I was hesitant to get it as usually a tasting menu isn’t that great but every single dish was superb! We’ll definitely be returning and be telling friends about this :) thank you for such a lovely evening!

Hugely disappointing. Arrived at our booking to be told that we had to have a table with stools or nothing. Placed by the door outside that were told couldn’t be shut. Told what we should or shouldn’t order and how we could have our food, rather than allowing any personal choice. All style and no service. Too cool to care perhaps?

Super dog friendly!!!! She loved the attention and the biscuit. She even loved the water they provided, she spilled it in her excitement and no one held it against her! The food was amazing. The peach tart and the strawberry and cream desert were the absolute stand outs. We will be coming back to do the tasting menu one day!!!

A hidden gem. Lovely food and very attentive staff. Look forward to coming here again!

We had an exceptionally delicious vegetarian meal here. Everything was beautifully presented and so moreish. Favourites were the courgette tart, fresh English asparagus with egg, and the cobnut chocolate choux bun. We managed to catch them on a wine training day so we had lots of fun wines by the glass - what luck!

The food here is so good. I especially loved the courgette and the eel. The wine selection is fantastic! The waiting staff were one step ahead at times and happily accommodated all our requests. We will definitely be going back very soon!

Lovely food for breakfast. The portions aren't really generous, but I guess that's just what fine dinning is.

Another gem in the Robin Gill series. The bread, as always was amazing. The potato being present in the bread still was a bit of a different touch that I’m not fully convinced about. The lamb was amazing, with the green garlic and onion being my favourite addition to that plate. The artichokes were possibly my favourite dish of the day with an amazing olive oil mayonnaise.

Special restaurant attach to a trendy hotel tucked away off Tower Bridge Road. Food was exceptional, but it was the staff that made it. A joy for us and a joy for them. Perfect spot for celebrating and impressing dates..

As good, if not better than it's former home in Clapham. Delicious food, amazing and friendly service. Great approach to those with allergies and generally really good experience. Thanks all!

From wobbly tables to shocking table service hygiene. We were greeted at the reception desk by a friendly lady in a red suit. Upon being sat at a wobbly table, I was horrified by the lack of hygiene throughout. EVERY SINGLE staff member (including the host/manager/supervisor) were running food and drinks to the tables by hand. By that I mean, no trays whatsoever, and THUMB BURIED DEEP into the plates and glasses, whilst continuously touching their half-placed cloth made masks. Whilst the staff were very friendly, the unlawful lack of hygiene should be addressed urgently and be at the manager's TOP priority list. The food itself was borderline mediocre. Mayfair priced, but sadly Peckham quality.

Lovely little suntrap hidden at the back of the new Bermonds Locke Hotel. With a few heaters, blankets and hot water bottles - its set up well for the chilly spring weather. A little odd being so close to a building site, but when you can eat inside it'll be a real game changer. Beautiful restaurant with friendly and enthusiastic staff - still trying to iron out a few kinks in the service but the effort is there and the food is delicious.

Brilliant! Great staff, great food, great setting. Inventive but accessible menu. Can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely stunning food with incredible service 😍😍👍

Food and service both amazing! One of the best meals I've had in London! Highly recommended.

The staff’s approach to the treatment of allergies is a lesson for restaurants. They were so good. You have to visit here!

Large dinning room with very good social distancing

We were huge fans of the Dairy in Clapham and so are pleased to see it reborn in Bermondsey, food is innovative and delicious as ever, but unfortunately no longer on our doorstep. But definitely a reason to head further afield.

Went for dinner here and had such a lovely experience. The food was delicious, our waitress noush was super friendly and knowledgeable about the wine and food. We even had welcome drinks on the house upon arrival! Would definitely come again.

Wonderful food and fantastic service despite the ridiculous rules! Hang on in there guys. You deserve to survive and thrive.

Fantastic beautiful restaurant&caffe great great

I visited The Dairy Bermondsey after seeing various twitter post of what opening in the area. The staff were extremely friendly, but Bermondsey offer so many better food options after experiencing the food. Our group of 3, all agreed we had a nice evening but would eat elsewhere but return for drinks.

Was taken to The Dairy by a friend who knew them from their previous location. Was very pleasantly suprised by the venue and the lovely food. It offers a small plates menu with a good choice of meat fish and veggie foods, with delicious flavours. Our waiter had exceptional knowledge of his foods and wines when asked but without being imposing. A very pleasant experience all round.

I was a fan of The Dairy in Clapham so I was looking forward to visit the new restaurant in Bermondsey. It didn’t disappoint! Amazing food, great service and beautiful decor. One of my fave places in London ❤️

Fantastic Sunday lunch at The Dairy. The food was outstanding and the service was lovely. Definitely recommend!

Nice food in a casual environment with friendly service. Will go to again

Though currently a little tricky to find, lovely light filled dining room with a chilled atmosphere. Well executed and interesting menu. Great service. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Fantastic dinner on day 2 since The Dairy relocated from their previous home in Clapham. The skate, tartare and bread dishes were excellent while service was super friendly and welcoming. Only issue was that it's hard to find from the main street - walk through past Shaman coffee and they're in the back of the building

Excellent Top Stars! Super Friandly Staff, Excellent Well Presented Food, Tops Choice of tasty drinks and the venue is very bright, roomy and welcoming. Social Distance is easy here so dont worry about that. Toilets are very clean and mordern. Lots of outside seating too. Sanitiser free opon entry. Its Super Safe!
