I spent a cosy Sunday evening at the Maltby Street Wine House, Maltby Street, London SE1. As you enjoy a glass of wine with friends, you can tuck into a few nibbles, cheese and charcuterie platters or a selection of bruschetta with tasty toppings. If you’re looking for the best wine bars in SE1, places for after-work drinks near Tower Bridge or cheese and wine in Bermondsey, you’ll love the Maltby Street Wine House.

Maltby Street Wine House Menu
The carefully curated wine list features sparkling, white, red, rose and sweet wines. These are mainly from Italy, France and Spain. However, you’ll also find some from Portugal, Austria, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, England, Chile, Uruguay, South Africa and the USA (California). They also serve a selection of rotating wines by the glass, so you can try something different each time you visit.
I’m not a big drinker, but as we were in a wine bar, it would be rude not to try a glass of vino. The Maltby Street Wine House experts selected a white French Wine for us to try; Jean Max Roger Cuvée Les Caillottes. I have to say that it was superb, thanks to the fruity and fresh taste.
We also sampled a stunning Austrian red wine, Mittelbach Gottfried Pinot Noir, a light ruby red colour with raspberry, wild strawberry and rose hip aromas. It’s perfect for anyone who is not a red wine drinker. Try it, and you may switch over to the red side.
A few nibbles like a Bread Basket with Olive Oil and Balsamic, Nocerella Olives, Roasted Cashews, Almonds or Caramelised Pecans are always welcome with a glass of vino.
The Bruschetta selection is the perfect accompaniment if you’re drinking Italian wine. Choose from Tapenade with Tomato, Speck and Smoked Scamorza, Mortadella, Burratina with Green Pesto, Truffle with Mushroom and Parmesan or Blue Cheese with Walnuts and Onion Chutney. Either purchase individually or three for £20.
Those planning to spend an evening at the Wine Bar will do well to order a Cheese or Charcuterie Platter. That’s precisely what we did, and wow, it was impressive. Small Platters are £14 and large ones £28. We sampled a mixed platter which was top-notch.
