Everything you need to try in borough market
Hello from the team at Here and There we’re pretty passionate about a day out in London. We love the excitement, the opportunity and most of all we love finding all the best food spots. Recently we went to visit one of London’s top food spots; not for it’s world renouned service but for its assortment of fresh and ecclectic options. That’s right we were in Borough Market - and we’re going to share with you some of our top finds and give you a little review - you know - just to prepare you for your own day out!
The Ginger pig!
We were really excited for the first place we tried! It’s called the Ginger Pig and let me tell you we were buzzed to try one of their sausage rolls! You can always tell when somewhere is good because it has a queue! We waited in line and finally got our sausage roll!
As a sausage roll lover, we were excited to try it and it did not dissapoint! The flavour was excellent, however we found that for us maybe there was just a tincy bit too much sausage and not enough pastry! What can you do… we’re pastry fans over here! Overall, would definitely recommend - and the staff were lovely!

Bread Ahead
Next up, we were desperate to try Bread Ahead as we had heard so many good things about them. So we went and tried one of their doughnuts. They look really good and we were really excited to try them, but unfortunately they were actually a bit of a dissadoughpointment.
It felt like they had been friend in old oil and so there was a kind of unsettling taste that you just couldn’t escape from, this meant that overall the taste wasn’t that great. We had high hopes for Bread Ahead - and hopefully if you do try them you don’t have that same taste we had.

Random Tasters!
If you’ve ever been to Borough Market, one of the best things is all the tasters you can try as you walk about! We love getting a little sneak taste of something as we take it all in. If you’re a cheese lover then there’s cheeses galore, if you love a baked good than they have a taster just for you - we would always get excited by Auntie Anne’s Pretzels when they had tasters - if you know… you know!
One of the best tasters we had was a piece of Brittle - it was flavoured with cinnamon, vanilla and hazelnut. Let me tell you… IT WAS DELICIOUS! We couldn’t beleive ourselves. 100% recommend - if you can find the brittle tasters - go and help yourself. Yum, yum yum!
Our Main: Tacos Padre!
I don’t know what it is about Mexican but it just gets us. We love it and so we had to try Tacos Padre’s Tacos. We got three different tacos - but oh my gosh! The beef one just slapped - we wish we’d got all of them as beef cos it was delicious! The flavouring of the corn tortillas were so zesty and flavourful! We could not get enough.
We finished off our main with a lil pisatchio canoli which was just as delicious and a great way to finish off our Borough Market exploration.
