Los Primos opens in November 2026 at 4 Dirty Lane, SE1 9PA, replacing Parrillan in Borough Yards.

It will operate as a walk-in, stand-or-stool cervecería and will serve Estrella Galicia cañas (one-third pint) for £2.50.

The venue is run by Harts Group (Barrafina Group), with a focus on accessible, intergenerational bar dining.

# What Los Primos is Los Primos is a new Spanish cervecería opening in Borough Yards in November 2026. The venue takes over the space currently occupied by Parrillan and is run by Harts Group, the company behind Barrafina, El Pastor, Parrillan and Quo Vadis. It's modelled on small, neighbourhood cervecerías in Spain: walk-up service, a short drinks list centred on draught beer, and a mix of cold and hot tapas served throughout the day.

# The offer and prices Expect traditional Spanish portioning: caña (one-third of a pint), media or doble. Time Out reports cañas will be priced at £2.50. Drinks pair with simple bar snacks like kikos (salted corn) and olives. The beer named in coverage is Estrella Galicia served in traditional measures.

# Food highlights Cold tapas will be visible in a glass display cabinet so customers can pick and go. Hot bar dishes include jamón croquetas, crispy pigs' ears, honey-drizzled aubergine fritters, tuna empanadas and cider-cooked chorizo. Breakfast service will feature churros with chocolate sauce and hot coffee. For lunch, there will be bocadillos stuffed with tortilla, pork loin, chorizo or egg. Service is walk-in only and designed for standing or sitting on stools at the bar.

# How the owners position it Anna Watkins, managing director of Barrafina Group, cites personal experience living in Madrid, owning a house in Costa de la Luz and summers in Mallorca as motivations for recreating the cervecería format. Sam Hart, CEO of Harts Group, describes cervecerías as "intergenerational, accessible spaces that won't break the bank, without compromising on quality," and says he looks forward to propping up the bar and watching the world go by.

# Practical details

# What this means for London drinking out

# Quick take If you want a short, casual Spanish-style drinking and snacking experience in Borough, Los Primos will provide a low-cost caña, a cabinet of cold tapas and a small hot-plates menu, all in a walk-in, standing-bar setting run by an established London hospitality group.
