New at Borough Market
Steak & Wine
We are pleased to introduce Steak & Wine, a hands-on course that is part butchery demonstration and part tasting menu. During the 2-hour session you’ll learn how rearing, feed and breed influence the flavour of your steak before it even reaches the pan. We will also guide you through the intricacies and benefits of dry-ageing, and perhaps even share a tip or two for how to buy the perfect steak.
Then, our butcher starts cooking. They will explain what’s happening to your meat as it cooks, and settle once and for all the debate about rare, medium and well-done steak.
We finish at the table, where a selection of specially chosen steaks are served for your enjoyment. Enjoy onglet, sirloin, fillet and prime rib, served with proper thick-cut chips, a glass of wine, and a lot more knowledge than you arrived with.

Borough Market steak & wine tasting
Open to public bookings. Learn, taste, ask questions, and settle the steak debate properly.
From field and ageing room to the heat of the pan.
During the session you will learn how rearing, feed and breed influence the flavour of steak before it reaches the butcher’s block. We will guide you through the intramuscular fat, dry-ageing and cooking techniques that decide whether a steak is good, memorable, or genuinely exceptional.
