ABOUT US

We are an independent, family-owned seafood restaurant in Borough Market, London, and have been a local institution for over 25 years. 

We source our seafood directly from fishermen off the south coast of the UK, ensuring fish and shellfish arrive at the restaurant the very next day. This close relationship with suppliers allows the kitchen to focus on quality, seasonality, and simplicity. 

Our menu focuses on British seafood, offering a mix of small plates and classic dishes such as hand-dived scallops, fresh oysters, brown crab rarebit, dry-aged Dover sole, and traditional fish and chips.

Applebee’s places a big emphasis on local sourcing, including a wine list that highlights producers from England and France.

While Borough Market is known for its lively stalls and street food, Applebee’s offers something different. The restaurant is a natural choice for those who want to enjoy the market without the rush. Low lighting, an open-fire kitchen, and a warm, informal atmosphere give Applebee’s a distinctive feel. It has become a popular spot for dates, lunches, and relaxed dinners, a place to settle in, share plates, and enjoy good food with good wine.

Guests can choose between counter seating, where the energy of the kitchen is on full display, or dining room tables designed for a more relaxed and intimate meal.

Located in the heart of Borough Market, Applebee’s is just a short walk from London Bridge, the Thames riverside, and nearby landmarks such as Southwark Cathedral and The Shard. Its central location makes it an easy stop for locals, visitors exploring the area, or anyone looking for a quality seafood restaurant near London Bridge.
