What you’ll do

Ready for a mouth-watering adventure in the heart of London? Meet your local host outside Monmouth Coffee Company and get set for a food journey through Borough Market that you'll dream about for years to come!

First, you'll kick things off with a sweet bang. Think fluffy, sugary donuts filled with velvety custard or rich jam – the kind that makes you close your eyes and savor every bite. Trust us, one of these shared between two will have you grinning from ear to ear.

Next up, sink your teeth into a piece of British culinary tradition. Picture a golden, flaky pie crust packed with tender beef steak and ale, bursting with hearty flavors that warm your soul. It's the kind of comfort food that makes you feel right at home, even if you're miles away.

Now, it's time for a cheesy detour. Imagine sampling a variety of Britain's finest cheeses – creamy Stilton, sharp Cheddar, and vibrant Red Leicester. The knowledgeable folks here will guide you through each bite, turning you into a cheese connoisseur in no time. Sharing a small selection will leave you perfectly satisfied yet craving more.

Then, let's add a splash of the sea to your day. Fresh, briny oysters from the Essex coast, shucked right before your eyes, offer a taste of the ocean that's both refreshing and exhilarating. Half a dozen shared between you will have you slurping and smiling like true seafood aficionados.

Craving something savory and indulgent? Bite into a sausage roll that's more than just a snack—it's an experience. Made from top-notch, locally sourced pork, these rolls are crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. Perfect for sharing, but so good you might not want to.

What's a trip to London without fish and chips? Imagine golden-battered fish, perfectly crispy and tender, paired with chunky chips that are soft inside and crunchy outside. It's a classic for a reason, and sharing a serving is the ultimate way to enjoy this British staple.

Finally, wrap up your food journey with a sweet treat that's comfort in a bowl. Think warm, crumbly dessert with seasonal fruits, topped with a generous pour of custard. It's the perfect way to end your culinary adventure, leaving you with a satisfied smile and perhaps a few crumbs on your chin.

Throughout this delicious escapade, your local host will sprinkle in fun facts, hidden gems, and personal stories that make Borough Market come alive. This isn't just any food experience; it's a flavorful adventure crafted just for you. And remember, if there's something you absolutely must try or want to skip, just let your host know – it's all about making this day as tasty and memorable as possible. Bon appétit!

She thoughtfully planned out the tour for me based on what I was interested in. She was very knowledgable about the areas we went to and made recommendations for other places to go after my tour and for future trips. The tea and scones we had were also delicious! I will definitely recommend this to anyone I know who is traveling to London :)

It was more like being with a friend than a guide. He provided a lot of information and we joked back and forth.

Nice trip. Local markets were explored with unique food tastings. Infact it was not tasting and we were full by the tour ended

We had a long layover in London and decided to take a tour while we waiting for our connecting flight. Our tour guide was super flexible (we ran into some flight delays) and was able to adjust the tour to accommodate our travel requirements for the day. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben we got all the highlights in just over 4 hours. It was the perfect way to experience London when you have limited time, or get to know the city at the beginning of a trip.
