A Friarwood Guide to BYOB Dining in London
At Friarwood, we believe great wine deserves great food – and the freedom to enjoy it wherever you like. While our cellars are full of bottles we’re proud of, sometimes the best way to experience them is out in London, shared with friends over a long lunch or dinner.
We're already on the wine lists of some of London's top restaurants. If you want to enjoy a Friarwood bottle at a restuarant we don't supply, a growing number of the city’s best restaurants are embracing BYOB, offering corkage for a small fee – or none at all.
Here are some of our favourite places across:
-
Parsons Green & Fulham
-
Wimbledon & Wandsworth
-
Central London Icons
Corkage policies can change, so we always recommend confirming the details when you book.

Final Thoughts
There’s something satisfying about walking into a restaurant with a bottle you’ve carefully chosen, ready to be shared. Whether it’s a quiet dinner in Fulham or a celebratory meal at one of London’s finest tables, corkage opens the door to truly personal wine moments.
We’ll keep updating this list as policies evolve – and if you’ve found a gem that welcomes BYOB, let us know. And of course, if you’re in need of a special bottle, we’re here to help.
Can't make it to store or need a bottle last minute? You can find us on Deliveroo in Parsons Green and Wimbledon Village for all your last minute wine needs.
