A legendary Borough Market staple with a perpetual queue, serving what is widely considered the platonic ideal of a cheese toastie alongside plates of molten raclette.
Ordering Strategy
There are essentially only two items on the menu. If you are with a friend, order one of each to share. Join the queue immediately; it moves fast.
What to order
Cheese Toastie
Described as a 'seriously stonking' sandwich that attracts a 'perma queue,' this legendary grilled cheese is made with a blend of Montgomery cheddar, Ogleshield, London raclette, and Comte with onions and leeks on Poilâne sourdough.
Raclette
A substantial and 'cheesey bliss' option where the cheese is served as a 'gooey puddle' over boiled potatoes and pickles.

Good to know
This is a market stall with no seating—expect to eat standing up or by the river. The toastie filling is extremely hot ('hotter than Hades'), so handle with caution.
