Bokor

The Betsy Smith morphed into Bokor in autumn 2016, when all traces of the former English-whimsy furnishings were swept away.
The new name is shared with a Haitian voodoo sorcerer, hence a mission statement that promises ‘good food and evil spirits’. Whichever sorcerer conjured up Bokor’s busy decor was prone to skittishness, chucking a dark-wood Edwardian back bar, Aegean taverna, Italian café and 1950s Polynesian tiki lounge into the jolly mix. The all-day menu is similarly catholic, with a Med bias, listing full English and fish & chips alongside duck breast with dauphinois, and various pizza toppings. The aforementioned evil spirits appear in a long moderately priced cocktail list whose standouts include an Old Fashioned made with Glenlivet whisky, honey, rosemary and ginger; Pompeii (a Beefeater gin Sour with pomegranate, grape and peach juices); and Rhubarb and Custard (served hot). Serviceable Spanish house wine kicks off a fairly priced list.

June 2019My best meal in London so far. Very friendly and good service from Aurora, always smiling and considerate. Delicious, in good portion and good deal. Love this place!

February 2025Me and my girlfriend were turned away at the door Saturday night by security because it was a "private event" (it wasn't) and judging by the reviews its not the first time they've turned people away using this as excuse.. although they let 6 women in 15 minutes later that were definitely not part of so called private event as they just hopped out of a taxi. It's okay though as the stink of cannabis coming out of the pub would turn your stomach. Would not recommend this place, stay away and read the rest of the reviews.. Seems very exclusive after a certain hour, probably best to stay away
