A “favourite local spot” and an “absolute gem”, this Bermondsey goodie is part deli, part wine bar – a winning combination for the local foodie crowd. Shoppers wanting to replenish their larders come here for cheeses, choice cuts of charcuterie, smoked salmon and an array of homemade pies, pâtés and quiches, which can also be sampled from the daytime menu. Wood-panelled ceilings, potted plants, piles of newspapers and assorted copper utensils set the mood, so perch at the counter, sip a Volcano speciality coffee and choose from various deli sandwiches or mixed platters (the antipasti version gets our vote); otherwise, eye up the daily selection of cakes bought fresh from Borough Market. The B Street Deli is also noted for its “fantastic wine collection”, with plenty available by the glass and bottles to purchase if you want to continue at home. “Quality” sums it up.
