"If you’re looking to ease yourself back into things with something that feels more heart-to-heart than let’s-have-another-pint, 40 Maltby Street is a brilliant and lowkey choice. With just a handful of tables outside and a changing menu that’s made for two people (or at tops four) who want to carefully and casually catch-up over terrine, fritters and probably at least two custard or Swiss roll-type desserts, the wine bar and restaurant in Bermondsey is a serene oasis in what’s likely going to be a Spring Break-like summer." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver
