I spent a cosy Sunday evening at the Maltby Street Wine House, Maltby Street, London SE1. While enjoying a glass of wine with friends, you can tuck into 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 since we were in a wine bar, it would have been 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 its 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, such as 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 for 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. You can purchase them individually or in three for £20.
Those planning an evening at the Wine Bar should 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.
