The Bermondsey Kitchen is a well thought of Bermondsey gastro pub serving a range of cocktails, wines and beers.
Chef Ruth Quinlan is arguably one of the Londons most exciting young chefs, and the restaurant is the place to try her unique take on Mediterranean cuisine.
BK pride themselves on the ingredients that are utilised in the kitchen. Fish is brought daily from Essex and wherever possible, non-endangered species are utilised.
Meat is supplied by Tim Wilsons farm in North Yorkshire which specialises in the traditional rare breeds of Longhorn cows, Tamworth pigs, and Swaledale lambs.The slightly higher fat content in these breeds is one of the reasons for the exceptional flavour. In the last 200 years, many rare breeds have already been lost, for instance Cumberland, Ulster White and Yorkshire blue pigs. In supporting the farmers who bread these animals, BK can help to prevent more becoming extinct.
Bermondsey Kitchens unusually open kitchen (probably the most visible in London) emphasises the transparency of food sourcing and preparation which they have focussed on since the beginning. The smokiness of the charcoal grill is the perfect partner for the richly flavoured meats and fish.
