Situated between London Bridge and Borough Market, the new Kêu will offer premium noodles that you can watch being hand-pulled using techniques straight from Saigon’s Chinatown.

As far as gastropubs are concerned, this one looks like a winner.

The pub is a modern interpretation of a tavern, and it will even serve its own caviar, created in partnership with The London Caviar Company. At the restaurant, look forward to craft ales, fine wines, the perfect pints of Guinness and fine British produce served in Basque-inspired dishes, cooked over the grill.
