"Borough Wines, Kensal Queens Park. Although Kensal rise was Borough Wine’s fifth store to open since it began as a small stall in Borough Market, the West London shop still maintains its strong independent feel, retaining the company spirit of being close to the local community and supporting independent vineyards and micro breweries. They offer a refillable wine station as well as various tasting and master class events."
"A temporary chef residency running 22 August–28 October offers a small-plates, sharing-focused menu inspired by the diverse culinary influences of Tel Aviv — Israeli, Yemenite, Moroccan, Tunisian and Spanish. Expect highlights such as lamb sweetbreads with za’atar and lemon, a squid pita and an ox cheek with hummus, with dishes priced roughly between £3.50 and £17. Service is in the evenings Wed–Sun (6:30pm–10:00pm) with weekend lunches Sat–Sun (12:00pm–4:00pm)." - James Hansen
"A Portuguese–Chinese inspired duo from Zijun Meng and Ana Goncalves, who rose to prominence after a year-long residency in Haggerston, are launching a three-month pop-up residency at the Kensal Rise branch of Borough Wines. Their menu pairs “European ingredients and Asian attitude,” and has already drawn praise for a katsu sandwich and toasted rice ice cream. Service at the NW10 location begins Thursday 10 May, running Thursday–Saturday nights, and for the first time they will also offer weekend brunch from 11am on Saturdays and Sundays." - Andrew Leitch
