Glad you liked it. I sometimes have a wrap, but my more usual order is a medium platter (with no bread, baba and, if they have it, ful medames). Yum.

No Tolstoy here, I know (most of) my limitations. I had a little moan about post-Roy and Audrey(?) Bardsleys on the only occasion I went there. Well, we went again, and it turns out I was wrong (or they've upped their game). It's not cheap (£13.65 for medium haddock and chips; £14.95 for a large...

I trust you didn't copy-and-paste that menu and its items :smile: Sounds amazing

Many thanks for this. I was avoiding Tonkotsu, having frequented the Soho branch a fair few times, and expecting such a review, but thanks for combining with a superior and close alternative :thumbsup:

There's plenty of 'white English' with way too much money willing to waste too much of their money on sub-standard food. I suspect the city boy Rayner mentions in the article might just be one of them. What's being reviewed is the London outpost, not the one in Turkey. The fact that the Turkey...

It's to impress those who are impressed with such things and, as Rayner indicates, to have the kind of reverse effect of putting salt on a steak.

If by pretentious you mean discriminating then, like I, Jay Rayner is just that. The people frequenting that restaurant obviously understand diddly squat about food beyond the price of it.

I wasn't invited to the trial. Will have to learn charm. LPM looks interesting. Like HT's style and ordering too.

My hunch is this might be right up the street of Goldstone1976 Looking forward to the review. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/oct/08/bibi-london-w1-restaurant-review-grace-dent

Interesting you say this about Lavash. My STAND OUT light luch spot in town is on the same street. The mixed platter from FilFil is a delight, and cheaper than Lavash's offering. If I can interrupt my radar next time I'm in the vicinity, I'll test your claim.

I love the Soho branch but, as a mod that frequents this thread has pointed out who might now be in space, that was its first branch, and the expansion process tends to have an inverse effect on the quality.

It's not only you that's designated me as such

(Beefeater or Tanqueray) Martini, with an olive Negroni Old fashioned (I used to be content making these -- just takes some patience) Margherita Whisky sour Bramble as a neo-cocktail

Top three or five cocktails please (I no longer drink them, but could easily be persuaded)

Yup, and if I was being over-polite to a punter, it meant that they were an utter arse.

I suspect that Yes Chef might be able to confirm that it's routine behind the scenes. Certainly used to be in retail.

If you can make it to Hove, Fourth & Church is better than all the other recommendations for both food and cocktails. Cracking wine selection too.

Although not as prolific as HT, I also may have mentioned CinCin a few times and, when I do, it's the pasta that gets the best write-up

I meant for not in, but we'll see if we can keep going for that long :mad:

Ooo, thanks for this. A question: will they tweak dishes such that they're pescatarian-friendly?
