The Bankside Hotel’s chic new all-dayer comprises a wraparound main dining room and a standalone bar, all hung with plenty of contemporary art (hence the name). The bright space features wooden furniture and patterned tiles, while the menu takes guests through from breakfast until dinner.
In the morning, the kitchen turns out a traditional full English, alongside the likes of buckwheat tabbouleh with tahini yoghurt and poached egg. Later in the day you’ll find hearty offerings from the wood-fire oven, including chargrilled cuttlefish with black rice and chorizo, or baked bone marrow with curry sauce.
At the bar, you can sip on complex cocktails such as a honey-washed Negroni, or sip on-draught taps from a local Bermondsey brewery. The bar also offers snacks and small plates, such as anchovies with lemon and sage, and spicy lamb with aubergine and egg pide.
