Risk the crush at The Rake
Related Articles
17 December 2007
In addition to being the only pub actually in Borough market (for at least 100 years), the Rake also claims to be the smallest pub in London and, in our experience, that claim seems to have some substance.
The addition of some decking with outdoor seating adds another 200% or so to the available drinking space, which in summer is handy, but a little less useful on a wet and windy winter's evening, although the heaters help.
However, it is certainly worth risking a crush to experience some of the exotic and esoteric beers on offer. Founded by the beer specialists Utobeer, who have traded in the market for a few years, you'd expect something special and you won't be disappointed.
The range on tap changes very frequently - so it's pointless listing any here as the likelihood is it will have changed by the time you read this - but rest assured, if you like beer, you'll find something you'll like.
There's always something that's a cut above average and well-kept and if the pumps don't tempt you, there's an extensive range of bottled beer. Even if you don't fancy a beer, you can always sample the range of ciders and genevers that's also on offer and if you can't find anything you like here, we suggest you try Lambrini.
