6.8/10 โ€” Setting 6 Selection 7 Service 7 Food Value 7 Overall 7
(Visited July 2026) Market stall in Borough Market, close to the exit to the food court by The Rake. Not huge, fairly limited seating. Seven ciders/perries on tap and seven bottles available for samples. Great bottle selection of craft ciders. Swift and knowledgeable staff. Not really cozy, but handy for a couple of ciders when in the area. Well worth a visit.
