Before heading to Tate Modern, we spent a couple of hours at Oxbo Bankside. I had booked a Sunday brunch, which turned out to be a true feast for all the senses.
Today, DOYOUSPEAKLONDON takes you to OXBO Bankside for their incredible bottomless brunch. A feast you won’t forget!
Oxbo Bankside, London
The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Hilton London Bankside Hotel in a quiet area.
Easily reached from London Bridge or Southwark tube stations, OXBO Bankside sits just a short walk from Tate Modern. Ideal for a brunch followed by a cultural outing or a leisurely stroll along the Thames!
Oxbo Bankside’s urban ambiance
On arrival, we were welcomed by the friendly, smiling staff and instantly fell in love with the restaurant’s stylish interior.
I read that the restaurant’s interior design was inspired by William Morris, the 19th-century British textile designer, whose love of nature shines through in all his drawings and creations.
At OXBO Bankside, you’re welcomed into a cosy ambiance, complete with wooden and exposed brick walls, black-and-white tiled floors, comfy chairs, and an open kitchen where the staff are busy at work.
While we enjoyed our lunch, a guitarist played live music, adding a warm, uplifting vibe to the already lovely atmosphere.
Oxbo Bankside’s bottomless weekend brunch
OXBO Bankside takes pride in using local, seasonal produce to create flavour-packed European dishes.
Head Chef Ollie Couillaud caters to every palate, from indulgent options to light, fresh choices. Before we dug in, a staff member kindly walked us through how the brunch works.
The brunch began with a generous assortment of starters, followed by one breakfast item (choice of eggs, waffles, or pancakes), one main (fish, meat, or vegetarian), and a fantastic selection of desserts. And of course, you can add unlimited bubbles or wine for an extra treat.
Honestly, if you can finish it all, you deserve a medal! We couldn’t, and happily left with a take-away bag!
The mains vary according to the seasons. At the time, I had a roast chicken, buttered kale, wild mushroom sauce, and mashed potatoes.
Everything was well-cooked, tasty, and melting in the mouth.
The desserts were just perfect: varied flavours and textures, satisfying all palates!
After such a fantastic brunch, with high-quality food, an extensive weekend menu, a stylish ambiance, and attentive staff, OXBO Bankside might just be one of those best-kept secrets you’ll want to share with friends and family.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this post and found inspiration here. If you are about to try out Oxbo’s bottomless brunch soon, please share your experience and opinion on DOYOUSPEAKLONDON!
