Last night the Bancroft team caused a vinous storm at Team London Bridge's second annual Open Kitchen - an event set up to showcase the best of all things food and drink at the White Cube Gallery from our beloved Bermondsey Street - an area once known as 'London's Larder'.

Alongside the Bancroft Bar, the venue played host to restaurants including Hutong, Aqua Shard, Constancia, Village East, The Garrison, Antico and Pizarro.
It was great to show off something a little different in our Gargalo Godello - still a hit 'it' grape, surprise people with serving our Wild South Pinot Noir slightly chilled, offering up a bargainous by-the-glass Rosé Champagne and wowing customers with the rest of what we had on the list.
Here's what we served to a troop of 450 local residents and those who work in the area, matched to some of the restaurant's offerings on the night... It's what we do best.

Razor-sharp acidity makes
this Alsacian wine a freshing match with Hutong's sea-welk salad

| And as quickly as it had begun, the evening was all over... |
