The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is perfect for some meat and wines. If you go on a Tuesday you can bring your own wine bottles. The flat iron is delicious!
Walking down St John Street in Farringdon, you could easily blink and miss Foxlow. What looks like a hole in the wall from the outside is a charming and cozy atmosphere inside. A British menu with a nice selection of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. I went for the aubergine while my guests had the chicken and sea bass. All of the food was well-presented and delicious. Highly recommend for a casual work lunch.UPDATE: came with my team from work to celebrate Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day). We tried all three options from the menu: the classic lemon and sugar, mushroom and cornmeal with fried egg and bacon dust, and The Elvis – ricotta pancake with peanut butter, maple glazed bacon and roasted banana. Pancakes are 8 which include a glass of juice, tea or coffee. Really delicious and pleasant service.
Too much salt everywhere! Kicked off with the anchovy snack and it was just a cringeworthy amount of saltiness that hit my tastebuds. Then came the fried chicken, that was pretty good and very crispy but the flesh was still juicy. Salt and pepper squid had a crispy batter coating and aioli.I ordered the sirloin steak and asked for medium rare but instead got a medium steak. It was tender though. My friend’s steak was perfectly medium rare. This came with some mushrooms, pepper and a wee bit of salad. Again, too salty.
Great food and atmosphere. We shared the roasted carrots and avocado starter and got the rib eye, fried chicken, Mac and cheese, fries, and sticky toffee sundae. All the food was great, particularly the chicken and sundae. Would definitely return.
Had a fantastic solo lunch at Foxlow on a half busy Thursday. I was greeted by smiley helpful and warm staff who were attentive and great at suggesting and explaining dishes and wines. The menu is just right, and I must recommend the short ribs. Recently I have become a fan of the short rib and this one was one of the best I have had anywhere. Accompanied by creamy tasty mash potato and a light gravy it went down very well. The squid starters had just the right crisp and the finisher a sticky toffee pudding, which was good but not the perfect end that I was expecting off the back of the previous courses. The interior is somewhat modern and at the same time cosy and warm. Price wise it was reasonable with the generously portioned short rib coming in at 19. Enough to feed anyone I’m sure. Well worth a look.
My second visit to Foxlow saw us ordering the Deckle steak once again. Cooked medium rare as recommended by the chefs and served with must-have Fries with Chicken Salt and the four cheeses Macaroni. The 5 spice squid to start is also divine. Foxlow is a place I would happily keep on returning to. emmarosetully.com
Atmosphere: Sophisticated and chic but in a relaxed,casual and welcoming manner. Waitress and other staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Decor was bang on.Food: Fantastic weekday lunch consisting of:(i) Starter – SmokedPork Ribs which were delicious and literally fell off the bone as soon as you touched them. Only problem is that they could’ve put 1 more on there – but that’s probably me being greedy.(ii) Mains – Beef Short Rib (slow cooked for 10 hours) with Kimchi -mouthwatering and a generous portion… meat was even more tender than the ribs and the kimchi was an unexpected accompaniment which balanced the rich flavour of the meat, although there could’ve been a little more on the plate. We also shared a side baby gem lettuce salad with a parmesan dressing which was so simple but so delicious (will definitely try re-create that at home) and chips with chicken salt which were amazing!Drink: More than decent selection of craft beers and a healthy wine list.
