40 Maltby St

The 38 Best London Restaurants, According to Eater’s Local Dining Expert | Eater

"A treasure. Unmoved by the comings and goings of trends, Bermondsey’s 40 Maltby St is a 40-cover answer to the question, pejorative as it may often be: What is British food? Steve Williams is a chef’s chef, cited by James Lowe, Brett Graham, and Florence Knight in their top five in the city. Raef Hodgson of distributor Gergovie Wines — which features low-intervention styles — runs the front-of-house without hubris. Recent dishes included winners such as pork schnitzel with raw celeriac, mustard, and braised potatoes, onion, and thyme, or a chestnut and brown sugar meringue. Know before you go: Check Instagram for the menu, which always features an in-joke or two." - Adam Coghlan
