RIND

In Battersea, RIND is a wine bar and deli with an easy European spirit and a calm sense of place. Shelves of artisan cheeses, cured meats and deli favourites set the tone, with good produce leading naturally from counter to table. It is the sort of neighbourhood spot that flatters couples and small groups, where conversation hums gently over well-poured glasses.

The kitchen keeps things lively through simplicity done well. Small plates range from steak tartare brightened with honey, sesame and gochujang to sea bream ceviche threaded with apple, pomegranate, chilli and coriander. Charcuterie stays true to the classics, with ribbons of bresaola and coppa alongside British favourites such as Bibury and Baron Bigod. Sharing boards gather it all together with sourdough, whipped hot honey butter, pickles and chutneys, while warm focaccia, house olives, burrata with tomatoes and seasonal salads and antipasti invite a relaxed graze. Heartier dishes shift with the seasons, always giving guests something new to discover.

Wine is at the heart of the experience. The list moves confidently from crisp, mineral whites to bold reds built for food, with playful bottles from smaller European producers woven throughout. Staff are ready with pairings, whether it is a single glass for a quick catch up or a bottle for a longer evening.
