Camino tapas bar in the Blue Fin Building on Bankside - serving jamon, tapas, and brunch on weekends - comes from a small stable of Spanish restaurants founded by owner Richard Biggs in 2007. Designed by London based designers Blacksheep, this Bankside branch has an open kitchen, prominent bar and jamon counter, where hand-carved acorn-fed Iberico black pig ham from Extremadura is professionally carved by a 'cortador de jamon'. Upstairs, accessed by a feature staircase which slices through the bar, is a balcony space which overlooks the lower floor. In warmer months, the tapas bar opens onto a large south-facing outdoor terrace. The menu, created by executive chef Nacho Del Campo, lists tapas dishes like pulpo - pan-roasted whole octopus tentacle, purple potatoes, paprika and olive oil; morcilla de Burgos - pan-fried black pudding and spicy alegria peppers; arroz negro - black rice, cuttlefish, squid ink and alioli; charcuterie and artisan cheeses including Idiazabal, Manchego, Ibores; and a whole roasted Segovian style suckling pig. Spanish craft beers are served in 2/3 pint glasses, just as you'd find in the local tapas bars of Spain.
