Private London Food Tours. The advantages.
Private food tours in London are becoming more and more popular.
Picture this: You’re wandering through the vibrant streets of London’s East End, the scent of sizzling street food filling the air, as a friendly local guide leads you to hidden gems even Google hasn’t discovered yet. Now imagine doing this without a crowd of strangers hovering over your shoulder as you take that first glorious bite of a salt beef bagel. That’s the magic of a private food tour with London Bites.
Here’s why booking a private tour with us is the best way to experience London’s legendary food scene—minus the tourist traps and plus plenty of delicious perks.
1. It’s All About You (and Your Favourite People)
Unlike public tours, a private tour is tailored to you and your chosen companions. Whether it’s a romantic foodie date, a birthday celebration, or just an excuse to eat everything in sight with your best mates, you get to enjoy the experience at your own pace, with only the people you actually like.
We always get in touch with our private guests to learn a bit more about their wants and needs. We really enjoy doing it and it gives us interesting challenges to meet.
2. Go Where the Locals Go
London is packed with incredible food spots, but let’s be honest—some of the most famous ones are overrated and overpriced. Our expert guides take you to the real deal: family-run eateries, hole-in-the-wall bakeries, and decades-old markets where the locals actually eat. From the best samosas on Brick Lane to the freshest oysters at Borough Market, we know where to find the good stuff.
3. A VIP Experience Without the Celebrity Price Tag
A private tour means no waiting around for people to gather before moving to the next stop. You’ll have your guide’s full attention, which means more fascinating food stories, insider tips, and personalised recommendations for the rest of your trip. Plus, you get to dictate the pace—if you want to chill a bit, no worries. Skip one stop and change it to something else, all good.
4. Customised to Your Tastes
Vegetarian? Gluten-free? Allergic to coriander with a passion? No problem. We tailor every private tour to suit your dietary preferences, ensuring you still get a full, flavour-packed experience without missing out on the best bites. Have a particular dish you’ve always wanted to try? Let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
In fact last year we launched our gluten free tour of Borough market and have kept it as a private option only. We go to completely different vendors than our normal join in Borough tour and it works really well for those gluten intolerant guests.
5. Unforgettable Stories & Local Insights
A private food tour isn’t just about stuffing your face with incredible food (though that’s definitely a highlight). It’s also about uncovering the stories behind London’s diverse culinary scene. Our guides are full of fascinating tidbits, from the history of pie and mash shops to the secret origins of East End curry houses. You’ll walk away with a belly full of great food and a head full of fun facts you’ll want to share at your next dinner party. We find that on our private tours it becomes like a conversation between friends.
6. It’s the Perfect Gift for Food Lovers
Struggling to find a gift for the foodie in your life who already has every cookbook ever published? A private food tour is the ultimate experience gift. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or just a surprise treat, they’ll be talking about the amazing dishes and stories for years to come. Our private tours are all available to purchase as gift voucher.
