I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!

The ham and cheese croissant hit the spot when we were sick of hotel restaurant breakfast. Tons of seating with plenty of people working from home on laptops. The decor is fun to look at as you drink your coffee or tea. They also offer frappes and smoothies! Nestled within a cute little part of London with a park nearby. Please bring Fuckoffee to NY.

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.

On this trip Ginger Pig was the culprit. Of all the times in England my husband had never tried a sausage roll. When we walked by the Ginger Pig he decided that today was the day. NOTE - do NOT go up to the counter. There will be a que and stay there until called. There were a variety of options but by the time we got to the counter only the original was available (which was totally fine). It is a clean counter there and behind the scenes also appeared to be sanitary. You will have to stand or grab a spot on the curb to sit down and enjoy your selection. Since there was no comparison to make my husband said that it was excellent and a good choice. It was not lacking and very filling. I thought it was funny that right around the corner is another sausage roll stall that claims to have the best as well.

Maybe i did it wrong and i was supposed to bring it home and heat it up, but this is a tourist spot and there's no way i'm leaving borough market, just to go home to heat up 1 scotch egg and then coming back and trying to other food stalls (hence the 4 stars). Sausage rolls are bomb here. Please get it. It's gigantic. HOT (contrary to the scotch eggs). Huge - shareable between 2 people if you plan on trying other food stalls in Borough Market. This is a staple. There will be a line, but the line moves fast because it's a simple grab n go. Pay when you get there. Eat it right in front of the storefront. it's amazing, no regrets. Sausages in london are just different

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!
