6 FEATURE London Chat


By Roger Mills Keys of new kitchen door


How time flies – indeed as I get older it seems to try to keep up with that Kenyan chap who recently ran a marathon in under two hours. That somewhat depressing


thought was brought on by news that Borough, as we know it today, is 21 years old this year. When I started in this game


it was a bouncing infant of just one – with many still reserving judgement on what might have been a flash in the pan. Mind you already folk were hopefully trying to copy a formula that worked well in the shadows of Southwark Cathedral . Wi th mixed success – anybody besides me recall the Basingstoke Festival Place Food Market? I thought not... Anyway the ‘key of the door’


years on from the rebirth of Borough as a retail market and important international


food destination comes a brand new look. Th e we e k o f 11t h


November, in the nex t stage in Borough Market’s evolution, will see over twenty new traders opening in an expanded produce zone and the arrival of The Borough Market Kitchen – a new large, communal, seated dining space serving up delicious hot and cold dishes. Outlets will include Mei Mei, JUMA Kitchen, Mimo and Brindisa Kitchen – all dishes prepared with f resh ingredients sourced from the Market’s traders. Continuing Borough


Market ’s commitment to sustainability, The Borough Market Ki tchen wi l l be entirely single use plastic- free, with tables and seating constructed from recycled materials. The new Borough Market


Kitchen will allow locals and visitors to sit down at communal tables to take a


break, share high quality freshly prepared food, and get inspiration on different ways to use the produce on sale in the Market. A B o r o u g h Ma r k e t


spokesperson commenting on the new development said: “The market has long been a place for London locals and visitors alike to connect together over a love of great food, and it will now be even easier for customers to find what they’re looking for. “Fresh, seasonal produce


remains at the hear t of Borough Market, and the expanded produce zone wil l enable shopper s to discover the best fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy and baked goods, along with some unique and innovative ingredients from the Market’s expert traders. An exciting range of new and existing traders will move into the Green Market area, as well as maintaining thei r cur rent locat ion


Borough has always been a popular lunch spot...


at Three Crown Square.” Borough MD Dar ren


Henaghan added: “Borough Market believes that food is for sharing: through creating dishes by professional chefs and home cooks; through exchanging ideas with expert traders and producers; or by simply meeting with others to enjoy eating together and creating memorable moments. “The last 21 years in our


1,000 year history has seen us move from wholesale to becoming a world class public food destination, and


it’s fitting that we celebrate our modern coming of age by expanding what we do best – fresh produce, expertly sourced and shared in a vibrant communal atmosphere.” The Borough Market


Kitchen will be open between 10am and 5pm (Mon- Thursday, Saturday) and 10am-6pm (Friday) and is located in Jubilee Place, the Market’s current wholesale area. Once the kitchen closes for the day, Jubilee Place will revert back to wholesale operations.
