Applebee's Borough Market celebrates 25 years

Applebee’s in London's Borough Market is set to celebrate its milestone 25th anniversary with a relaunch. The refurbished restaurant is set to open on 13 February, ushering in a brand-new menu.
Still fully independent and family-run, Applebee’s is one of the original Borough Market traders. Having started as a fishmonger, Joy and Graham Applebee soon moved into their first brick-and-mortar seafood restaurant on Stoney Street. Their son, Jack Applebee, spearheads the relaunch alongside his two brothers.

The restaurant will continue to focus on premium British seafood sourced directly from fishermen at Brixham Fish Market. The new menu, crafted by executive chef Frankie van Loo, will feature a weekly-changing selection of the freshest seafood, dictated by what lands on the Devon and Cornwall dayboats each morning.
Chef Loo joins the business after 13 years at Jason Atherton’s Social Company restaurant group, including time at Pollen Street Social and Social Eating House and multiple head chef roles across the group, notably at the Michelin-starred City Social.
Menu highlights will include grilled Dover sole with brown shrimp and lemon butter; a British interpretation of a bouillabaisse – a zero-waste dish that uses every part of the fish and seafood, replacing traditional Gruyère cheese with Lincolnshire Poacher; and fish and chips with cod, haddock, plaice or turbot, depending on whatever is caught.
"We are extremely proud to celebrate our 25th anniversary with the relaunch of our restaurant," says Jack Applebee. "As a family-run business, we have always had quality at the forefront of anything we do, and we remain committed to sourcing the highest quality seafood from our shores."
