A 40-cover kitchen-and-natural-wine warehouse under the Bermondsey arches, chef Steve Williams
P. Franco's successor at 107 Lower Clapton, a 25-cover wine shop with a hot plate at the back, chef residencies kept
P. Franco, Liam Kelleher's wine-merchant-with-a-chef-residency, closed in March 2023 alongside its Bright and Noble Fine Liquor siblings. The Lower Clapton room reopened the same year as 107 Wine Bar & Shop, rescued by a crowdfunder run by long-serving manager William Gee, who kept the model intact: wine-shop shelves on one side, a long communal table on the other, a single induction plate at the back where a rotating roster of chefs cooks a four-course tasting menu most nights. The list runs at merchant retail; the food is whatever the chef on the night wants to cook. The booking remains a wine-and-chef pilgrimage, not a restaurant visit, the same room, the same operator continuity, a new name above the door.
Book six to eight weeks out, the room still takes 25 and residencies sell out fast. Check the Instagram chef calendar before the trip is set; the pleasure is matching the visit to a chef the audience already follows. Walk-ins only at the bar end of the room, two or three stools. The rebrand from P. Franco kept the bones, same address, same model, the manager who steered the crowdfund now running the floor.
