Restaurant review: The Bird in Hand at Knowl Hill | Local restaurant ...
food menu
Taken for granted by many, but capable of bringing food experience rapture to others, writes Jan Raycroft So there we were, virtually dancing in the aisles of the Twyford Waitrose – me and the by chance coeliac disease suffering member of staff restocking the ‘Free From’ section with expensive bread that actually tastes like ‘the real thing’ and snacky sweet things (much of which have far too much fat and sugar).
When it’s fish and chip shop time at my place it means someone is despatched to the takeaway for everyone else, while I cook my own gluten-free version.
Youngs, the frozen fish people, still make their gluten-free fish fingers, but they are no substitute for the battered fillets which used to be part of the product line but seem to have disappeared.
But gluten-free fish and chips, eating out?
But it doesn’t inspire confidence if every time you ask a usually young member of staff if a particular menu choice is available gluten-free they um and ah and disappear to the kitchen to eventually return with good or bad news.
RESTAURANT REVIEW: Miller & Carter, Muswell Hill | Times Series
food
It used to be a church, but thanks to some pretty magnificent interior design it’s now one of London’s best steak restaurants.
My eyes are always bigger than my stomach when it comes to steak but I can never resist the starters.
But no steak dinner would be complete without fries…and sides.
The garlic & parmesan tender stream broccoli (£3.50) and garlic button mushrooms (£2.75) were so good I couldn’t resist going back for more, even though I was full up.
We thought we were full, but by the time the desert menu came around, we simply couldn’t resist.
North Wales restaurant review: On The Hill, Ruthin - Mark Williams ...
food ambience staff desserts menu drinks
My wife starts with ‘Our own black pudding’ - with a ‘posh sausage roll’, crispy fried pork shoulder, tomato and pancetta relish, and sweet mustard dressing.
I started with “A Taste of Asia”, from the specials menu that consisted of crispy chili beef, panko crumbed king prawn, Thai chicken and cashew nut parcel, red onion and coriander bhaji, stem ginger, sweet chili dressing, Asian salad and peanut and coconut dipping sauce.
My wife went for the main dish entitled ‘The fish market’ which consisted of stuffed sole pipette, pan fried sea bass, baked salmon, smoked salmon and prawn ‘filo parcel’, crispy cod goujon, smoked haddock fishcake, char-grilled garlic and parsley king prawn, creamed peas, beetroot tartar dressing, Provençal relish, served with sauté potatoes and vegetables on the side.
I went with ‘Italian chicken’ that arrived with a spinach and fontina cheese croquette, roasted onion puree, crispy pancetta, Parmesan crisp, Marsala wine sauce, and ‘ratatouille’ and crispy ‘fritter’ chips.
There were other options such as the local ‘Chilly Cow’ ice cream, the wonderful ‘Snowdonia cheese’ on the cheeseboard or the currently in vogue ‘rhubarb tart and custard’, however my wife couldn’t be persuaded to take sweet but I did let her sample my pudding even though it did hurt me to see her take a rather big spoonful knowing how much I love that Tiramisu cheesecake which arrived with mocha ice cream on the side.
Llewelyn's London SE24, restaurant review: 'even better than a TK ...
Frankly, when in search of victuals in January, I don’t really want to shuffle further than the end of the road (where we are blessed by an Asda), ideally wearing slippers and carrying one of those giant, zipped, chequered bags that one – apparently – takes to the launderette.
Having recently eaten my family’s body weight in Seasonal Fayre, not only will I be fantasising in the abstract about regaining my silhouette (circa 1998, ideally), but I’ll also be surviving on January’s meagre fiscal rations.
My partner, inconveniently, was born in the second week of January, so this year, if he behaves himself, he’ll likely get a peck on the cheek and a TK Maxx voucher.
The Shed: Restaurant in Notting Hill / Kensington
food
Ever since we opened The Shed in 2012, our salted caramel espresso martinis have become iconic with the Notting Hill crowd.
In March we were asked by our friends and neighbours at The Gate Theatre to supply their annual gala that raises funds to help develop ground-breaking international theatre with the most cutting-edge artists with 250 espresso martinis to help support with sponsorship from Adnams.
The event was a huge success with the martinis bringing a fun energy to the gala that helped raise money for a good, local cause.
