Bedales of Borough is a wine bar, shop and dining destination on Bedale Street in Borough Market. The flagship location has traded here since 2001, bringing together an exploratory wine list and a food menu shaped for grazing, sharing and matching with a glass or bottle.
Bar snacks such as sourdough with brown butter, spicy feta dip, padrón peppers and lemon and coriander houmous provide a relaxed beginning. Smoked and cured choices include Iberico ham, smoked burrata and Manchego with chorizo, reflecting the menu's emphasis on ingredients that work naturally with wine.
The small plates move across vegetables, seafood and meat, from patatas bravas and saffron arancini to tuna tartare, beef short rib tacos and chargrilled swordfish skewers. Cheese is offered individually or as part of a larger Borough platter with cured meats, terrine, parfait, focaccia and Mediterranean accompaniments.
An in-house sommelier curates wines from both renowned and less familiar regions, so guests can approach the visit as a tasting or a complete meal. The market setting, bookable tables and private cellar make Bedales suitable for an informal stop, a longer evening or a guided celebration of food and wine.
