There's really everything here from the most delicious spelt risotto to fresh seafood, paella and lobster. It can definitely get crowded on weekends but that's part of the fun.

We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed! It was hard to see all the various vendors as some of the food lines were really long, especially for the fish and chips. There is very limited seating in the market so we elected to eat outside of the market as there are many restaurants and pubs in the area. From spices,olive oils and a variety of food choices, this market is a must visit when in Central London.

Highlights include lobster rolls (avoid the seared tuna -- not for me), amazing crispy duck fat triple cooked chips!!! Get them! The dumplings were lukewarm / cold and covered in spicy sauce. Skip, better options available. Pho lovely and warm but prefer vermicelli noodles to the thicker ones in them. The duck wrap was nice (not a fan of tomato in it). The confit duck better pick. The smash burger took absolutely ages! Man very sweet & brought it over to us. The steak & frites with pepper sauce was great. But dipped the duck fat chips in that sauce & was in food heaven.

Finding a spot to enjoy it at the Borough Market was a little challenging, but we figured it out. The crust was tender and flakey, and sausage filling was packed with flavor. We were in London for 2 nights and the sausage roll was definitely one of the tastier bites of this trip. We were at the Borough Market during the lunch rush and we had to queue up - it was worth it! They have multiple locations.

The line was long, but it moved pretty quickly. We only ordered the traditional sausage roll…read more The sausage roll came out hot, so it was definitely fresh, which was a plus. It had a large chunk of ground pork inside that reminded me of the texture of a meatball. Flavor-wise, it tasted similar to a Costco chicken sausage, but with pork instead. The outside was made with soft, layered pastry, but it was a little bland and lacked the buttery, flaky texture I was expecting. Overall, the filling was a bit too heavy on the ground pork for our taste, and neither the pastry nor the filling had enough seasoning to really stand out. As for the ambiance, it's a simple order at the counter setup. You wait in line, place your order, pay, and most people stand around the shop to eat. The sausage roll was served hot, so it was definitely fresh.

My mom really wanted to try Kappacasein at Borough Market - she saw something about the wildly…read morepopular cheese toasties online, and the long line at the storefront confirmed her suspicions. We decided to brave the line for the cheese toasties - a few others hopped out of line into the raclette line, which was much shorter - and were able to order our sandwich after about 15 minutes of waiting. The cheese toasties were made fresh-to-order, and our sandwich was freshly scraped from the griddle as soon as we got to the front of the line. Unlike basic grilled cheese sandwiches, Kappacasein includes leeks and a blend of cheeses for a decadent, gooey bite. We ended up sharing a sandwich, which was the right call. I'm glad we tried it!

These were our first meat pies we had on our trip to England. As someone who lived in Australia (a…read morelong time ago) but now lives in the US, the lack of meat pies and sausage rolls is sad. I was very excited to try these pies out! The pies don't come with any sides, such as mashed potato or mashed peas. That's not a dealbreaker though, as they are meant to be eaten on the go and adding mushy peas would be a challenge. We both enjoyed the pies and I'm glad we chose them from all the options in the market, especially since I was growing tired of fish and chips. Great pies - I'd eat them again!

All hail, Pieminister. Hail to thee, Prince of Crusts. All…read morehail, Pieminister. Hail to thee, Prince of Fillings. All hail, Pieminister, that shall be King of Pies hereafter! On our 9 day visit in London, one of our quests was to find the best British meat pie in the city, and we're happy to say this is the One! Our admittedly subjective criteria includes: - Pie must have a good balance of gravy and fillings - Fillings must be meat-forward, and not overly displaced with potatoes, carrots or other 'fluff'. Caveat: non-meat fillings must still be present and enhance the pie. - Crust must be crispy, all-around (no soggy bottoms!), but balanced with the fillings. - Value (quality for price) matters Along these lines, this Borough market vendor provided the absolutely best pies we found in all of London. We ordered the "Moo & Blue" which was a beef steak and Stilton cheese pie for 8 or 9£. Start to finish, the pie was crispy, well-balanced, while still offering the best price around. There were a variety of other pies offered, each with clever names (Deer & Beer! Kate & Sidney!), and we wish we had more time to sample them all, but we're sure we'd be quite well pleased with any of them. Is it easy to eat a meat pie in the crowded Borough market location? No. But, it was worth it! All hail, Pieminister!

Everything they sell is tasty! I am eating here since last 2 weeks (lunch). So far I tried couple of pastries/cakes, ridiculously delicious. I don't like soup much but when I visits Seattle USA, I give it a try but here it's soo delicious I had to buy large size, so far the best soup they have is chicken mushroom soup and cauliflower pepper with lots of veggies soup. I tried honey BBQ pulled chicken with caramelized onions and peppers. Ensure you tell them you want onions and peppers else all you will get is bread n meat! I tried salad, lot of options for salad so am not going to put them all here. Try past as well. I tried mushroom pasta sooo cheesy and tasty. They also have very good bacon sausage pasta and couple more which yet to explored. They serve chicken and rice and wraps. I haven't tried yet but looking at the Q for that food, has to be tasty!! MUST try if you want all options together like salad ,soups ,sandwiches , pasta and pastries!
