This restaurant is tucked quietly down a side street not far from Barking Market. Arguably it’s a little off the beaten track, but the food is generally of high quality and it’s only a 10 minute slow stroll from the station.
At the time of writing, I have only been to this restaurant for the Christmas menu in recent times. I have written a trip advisor review about this and I will post a link to it once the review has been published. For now, I will briefly discuss the Christmas dinner.
Firstly, this is in general a fairly traditional Christmas dinner though carrots are glazed, the peas are cooked with parcel and a little mint and the sprouts are cooked with walnuts.
roast potatoes are soft on the inside and really crispy outside. The beef I had was tender and I am told by friends who were with me that the turkey is also excellent. For my starter I had sticky apple and raisin winter salad which was a little sweet but plentiful in size.
The main course was huge. There was plenty of tender slow cooked beef and mountains of roast potatoes and vegetables. The pigs in blankets were clearly homemade and the sausages used were of very high quality. All of us were full to bursting and I can think of very little that I would change though I do have a few suggestions.
Firstly, before the starters, we were given pretzels and nuts in their shells. Unfortunately, the nut crackers were not up to the job so we largely ignored the nuts though my friend Andy was able to crack them with his hands.
Secondly, there is no fish option for the main course. This does not affect me but many people I know eat fish and vegetables but do not eat meat. There is a Vegetable Wellington available as a main course but I don’t know anyone who has tried this yet.
