London BYOB live e-guide 2026
London's only fully verified, live BYOB digital guide with 180+ restaurants and exact corkage fees. From authentic Thai cafés to 3-star Michelin fine dining.
Your £15 retail wine costs £50+ on restaurant lists. One meal with this guide and you've saved more than it costs.
I've spent 30+ years in the wine trade. Friends and colleagues have asked me for BYOB recommendations since my student days in the 1990s. This guide pools that knowledge - where wine trade professionals actually go, what policies actually are, verified and updated weekly.
Most online "BYOB lists" name the same 20 restaurants. Google results and old merchant lists cite venues that closed years ago or have wrong corkage fees. We have spent over 200 hours researching and verifying our 180+ restaurants, and we continue to add more each week.

How the live guide works: Unlike a static PDF that's out of date the moment you download it, this is a living document. I update the guide weekly with new restaurants, policy changes, and closures. When you open your link, you always see the current version. Buy once, use the same link until December 2026, always reading the latest information.
Immediate access after purchase. After purchase, you receive a PDF welcome pack with your login details for the live digital guide. The guide is hosted on Heyzine - a professional flipbook platform trusted by 1.5 million users and brands, including Bosch and Danone. Access is immediate and works on any device. If buying as a gift, you control the delivery date and can include a message
The Maths: That anniversary Burgundy your partner bought you? Take it to a Michelin kitchen, enjoy it with a properly paired dish, and walk out £300 better off than buying equivalent wine from their list. Dinner for four with your own bottles instead of restaurant markup? You've halved the bill.
"I've used this guide 3 times in the past 6 weeks, and saved myself nearly £300 compared to regular list prices. Each of those restaurants was new to me, despite working in the wine trade myself for 23 years. Well done Alastair, a great resource!" Sarah, London.
