London's Smallest Bar - to open at Borough Market

by Andrew Barrow, Posted Jul 16th 2006 @ 6:02PM

Borough Market, London's premier foodie haunt, has been pub-less for over 100 years. Until next month, that is, when the Rake is due to open. This pub, on the site of a 19th drinking establishement also claims to be London's smallest bar.

The bar area will seat 44 people and is only 13x7 ft.

The pub will be run by beer specialists Richard Dinwoodie and Michael Hill who run Utobeer, a company that has been at the market for seven years. Dinwoodie said: "We will always have two cask beers on offer as well as a wide range of bottled beers. We think that offering visitors the chance to relax with a great beer and simple, delicious food whilst shopping at the market is a recipe for success."
