    Now what would make the goats greedy? I think it's the Brits who squeeze the milk out of the goats…read morewho are greedy, don't you think? I had never had goats' milk ice cream, so what better place to do that than Borough Market where they sell pretty much everything. Greedy Goat has a small stand in the ridiculously small seating area of the market. Jamie W. and I decided to treat ourselves on a balmy day. £6 will get you two scoops in a cup, and there were about ten enticing flavors to choose from. Jamie went for Caramel & Sea Salt and Banana, Chocolate & Caramel (photo: https://yelp.to/Y558VWhmM_), while I got the Cherry & Amaretto and Hazelnut (photo: https://yelp.to/1S4DBPzJiQ). Needless to say, they were deliciously creamy. We could've had a second cup, but who'd be considered greedy then? ICE CREAM - 4 stars...creamy goat's milk blended with refreshing flavors AMBIANCE - 4 stars...it's just a cute stand but quite inviting SERVICE - 4 stars...efficient and friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...a different kind of ice cream RELATED - Exploring London?

This is where their story started, humble beginnings serving ice cream cups and cones from their 'little goat shack' at the market. Their ice cream is made in Somerset from British goat's milk. (Uhhhm, don't mind if I do!) Their ice creams are GMO free, egg free, gluten free, lactose friendly, 100% natural, suitable for vegetarians, and all that good stuff . They had a handful of fun flavors available and we went with chocolate for the kiddo and we got the banana & pecan. Our son enjoyed his ice cream and couldn't even tell it was made from goat's milk instead of cow's milk ;). We also enjoyed our ice cream. Nice, clean flavor and not overly sweet! The fact that they use locally sourced ingredients were a big plus for me and something I like to look for when visiting new places. It is quite a bit pricey per scoop, at £3.90, but we were on vacation so ... counting memories not $$$.

    This is one of the best restaurants we have visited in London for fresh fish. It's so good we go…read moreback every time we visit! The restaurant is in a cute little spot with a few other restaurants. Great vibe with indoor and some outdoor seating The fresh fish and wine pairings are outstanding. We started with sea scallops which melted in your mouth. So good! Then we got a bottle of white wine with fish pairings (they had 8 local options the night we visited). I had the sea bass, and my husband had the trout. So good that I picked that sea bass apart all the way to the bone, which is saying a lot given that it was a very meaty, generous portion already. I tasted the trout, and it was equally amazing. Very impressive and fresh! I wish we could've actually tried some dessert because others around us looked very happy, but we were so full it didn't make sense. If you like fish, go out of your way and stop here! You won't regret it.

    We arrived on a cozy Sunday evening, excited for our roast dinners. I chose the vegetarian…read moreWellington roast, which was bursting with sweet potatoes, hazelnuts, lentils, pumpkin seeds, and more. It was so flavorful and almost had a meat-like texture, wrapped perfectly in the crisp phyllo dough. My partner went for the lamb roast, featuring tender, juicy pieces of lamb that tasted fantastic. We also enjoyed some pigs in a blanket and a side of stuffing. There was so much food that we shared our pigs in a blanket with the lovely ladies at the next table. If I could suggest one thing, it would be to ask for the gravy on the side of the stuffing so it doesn't get overwhelmed.

He introduced us to the owner who was quite the interesting and charming lady! The decor is great! The food is fantastic ( I loved the Moo Pieminister Pie!) The drink selection was wide, seasonable, and with Stanley taking time to let us taste many, it made it a 6 star experience! If you are a US NFL fan, do expect to this to be popular with Raven fans. There even is a Raven's pro helmet inside! This is where to go for great drinks and food!

    We found this place by accident while taking a walk across the Tower Bridge, and we're glad we did!…read moreThe bartender, Stanley, was fantastic...pretty much gave us a beer tasting before we'd even got started. As with most places here, there's no air conditioning so in this hot London day (30°+C) they had the door and windows open which gave it a nice breeze and very comfortable. Stanley talked me into trying the Aspall cider and it was so very cool and refreshing (and he wasn't stingy on the pour either!). We got in before dinner service began so we chilled with our drinks (my bf settled on the Madrí lager...less hoppy than we typically find at home in the U.S.). I wanted the Moo PieMinister but, unfortunately, they were out of the ingredients so I ordered the bangers and mash instead and washed it down with a nice cold blood orange cider. My bf ordered the Cottage Pie. Both were delicious. We received outstanding, friendly service and the staff is exceptional. If you happen to be a Baltimore Ravens fan, they have memorabilia for you and cater to those fans when they're playing in London. I don't remember the names of the other two we met (owners/managers?) but they were very nice and chatted with us for a while. They had a steady flow of customers come and go while we were there but it was early yet so not crowded.

We enjoyed walking around and seeing a wide variety of food options! The whole market area was clean and organized when we got there at 9am. No lines yet. Long lines did start forming around 9:45am when the hot foods were ready but moved pretty quickly. We tried: * The Ginger Pig - Traditional Sausage Roll * Wild Mushroom Risotto - Spelt Risotto with Truffle Shavings * Turnips Greengrocer - Chocolate Covered Strawberries * The Black Pig - The Best One With Crackling * Turkish Deli - Turkish Delight & Turkish Coffee * Bread Ahead - Crème Brûlée Donut

It is a farmer's type market with some prepared foods, which were top notch. We walked the entire thing and grabbed as much as we could to eat. There are plenty of food places just outside the space that are open later as well. I got some meat sticks from a vendor, sort of farmers market style. There was also another stand that had fruit in a cup with chocolate.Our best deal were some arepas that were half off because it was closing time and they wanted to get rid of them. This isn't the place to take pictures, but rather to immerse yourself in all the goodness that is here.

    Well, well, well…read more Village East is no more. Long live Loyal Tavern, the new prince of Bermondsey! We've only been for brunch, which was fabulous: generous full English with sausage, bacon, black pudding, two perfectly fried eggs, and toast; ham Benedict; streaky bacon; and eggs bread with half a caramelized banana and salted caramel ice cream for dessert. Service was excellent and attentive. The seating in the back is a little tight; seats along the middle will get bumped by every server and diner who pass by. The view is of a back alley. But that food! We only wish we had found it sooner so we could have eaten there more often. Prices seem quite low for the quality of the food. Highly recommended, well worth a trip to Bermondsey from anywhere in London.

    This spot has a lot of potential, but three stars because I feel it has a bit of work to get there…read more We ordered the turnip hummus with truffle and flatbread. The hummus was wonderful, very smooth and silky, however there was not nearly enough flatbread for the hummus given. It was inevitable that we would have to ask for more flatbread, would have just been nice if it came with more pieces, at least 4 (came with 2). The blackened cauliflower was what I was most excited about, but while the tahini sauce was lovely, the cauliflower was just a tad above room temperature and not cooked enough. I ordered the celeriac option and the staff was super nice about accommodating my vegan diet; however, the kitchen forgot to leave out the egg and I pierced it by accident. Not great. The veggie broth in the dish was delicious, but celeriac was kind of dead, drenched in it. Would have also been nice for the dish to have a grain or bean for some substance. We had the brownie and banana bread for dessert. The brownie was nice as it was warm out of the oven - the banana bread was pretty disappointing and the pistachio cream on it was way too dense. Again, a lot of potential, but a lot to work on before getting to 4 stars in my books.

    Flat Iron was right next to our hotel in the London Bridge area near Borough Market. We had passed…read moreit many times and decided to finally have dinner there on our last night in London. We were seated with no reservation, but we did come closer to closing time. Staff warned us that we did need to order and get any drinks we wanted sooner rather than later, but that was OK. I got the flat iron steak because of course I had to try the namesake of the place. I got it with the side of roasted aubergine, tomato, basil, and mozzarella. I did not enjoy the side because of the very mushy texture, so that was a bit of a bummer. The steak itself was pretty delish. As a cocktail I had their passion fruit Collins which was very refreshing. I found that overall in London the cocktails were all on point pretty much everywhere we went. We had noticed that any person leaving the restaurant always had ice cream, and when we were finished with the meal we did get the little silver cleavers and our free sweet treat. I appreciated the straightforward menu and the ambience, which is casual but also stylish and not pretentious at all, just relaxed and cozy with softer lighting and a good flow.
