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.
