There is always room for more stout, though, and 2025 will surely bring a wave of Murphy’s, Cork’s famous export. It is already gaining a keener foothold in London and there are murmurings, even early signs of a more significant push. One pub, the Lord Nelson in Southwark (243 Union Street, SE1 0LR, lordnelsonsouthwark.com), serves Murphy’s over Guinness. Others with an allegiance to Cork include Cafe Mondo (42 Peckham Road, SE5 8PX, @mondo.sandwiches), the Montpelier (43 Choumert Road, SE15 4AR, themontpelier.net), and the Boston Arms (178 Junction Road, N19 5QQ, bostonarms.co.uk).
