BYOB City Guides™ - London
The Definitive Guide to over 200 London BYOB Restaurants
Why Bring Your Own Bottle?
BYOB has existed for over 50 years, but the concept has completey evolved in recent years. It has now extended to fine-dining, and even Michelin-starred establishments are using it as part of their strategy.
SAVE MONEY
The average restaurant mark-up is 3-4 times retail price - a £15 bottle can cost over £50. The savings can stack up quickly, especially if there's a group of you!
DRINK BETTER
Buy a Châteauneuf-du-Pape on the way and pay less than the Côtes du Rhône on the list. If you're a wine collector, your bottles can be showcased in style.
DISCOVER CUISINES
Our guide has cuisines from 36 countries - everything from neighbourhood Thai café to 3-star Michelin. Culinary adventures are so much more affordable with BYOB.

Why do I need a paid guide?
Accuracy
Most free BYOB lists are outdated, incomplete, copied or simply wrong. Corkage policies change regularly. This guide is checked, verified, and updated, so you don’t get caught out.
Wine pairing
Knowing where a restaurant is located is only part of the equation. Knowing which wine styles work well, and not, with that specific cuisine takes a lot of guesswork out of your planning and ensures a better experience.
Ongoing value
When you buy this guide you'll likely to have covered more than its cost the first time you use it. After that, significant savings for the rest of the year, at restaurants that suit all budgets and occasions.
