There is nothing special about this place. I cannot comment on the food because they have only a couple of gluten free options which I found just okay. Having said that, it’s a great place for having a few drinks in the evening with a friend or catching up with a group of friends.
is usually one reason I go to a new restaurant – recommendation from others who really enjoy their grub. One of my companions had been to the Kew hotel on a couple of occasions and had enjoyed a pretty good meal.The boutique hotel, with its very comfortable seating boasted a small but interesting menu and we were all in the mood for the rib eye steak. To start I was very much looking forward to the duck livers sauteed in port, chili and red onion, and my pals chose the mezze board (above) and the Devon crab cakes with sweet chili sauce. What followed after each initial mouthful was a collective sigh and a sort of incredulous look on our faces.The bullets for livers were so sweet they completely smothered any other flavour on the plate. Just the look of the totally uniform crab cakes with some sort of nasty looking gunk made me suspect they were bought in. I may be wrong, but it matters not as they were simply ‘bloody awful.’The rather drab looking mezze, consisting of hummus, olives, peppers, feta, artichoke and balsamic onions made it look as though food items were randomly selected without any thought and the hummus was frankly just horrible.The steaks, at 21 a pop should at least have had some salad garnish or a vegetable to accompany. The stark looking plate was accompanied by anemic looking chips that were just WRONG. A soggy mess in fact. I had asked for a rare steak – I didn’t ask for blue and it was almost cold it was so raw. By this stage I just couldn’t be bothered, like most tight lipped Brits, to raise any objections. Why I thought the cheese board would be any different is beyond me. Small nuggets of uninteresting cheeses were presented with some grapes, chutney and dull looking biscuits. I have to say that the chocolate pudding was actually very good indeed and the Malbec, for twenty quid was passable.The bill came to over 160 pounds and I can’t tell you how sorry I was for my friend who was treating me to a birthday dinner. As always, it’s the company that matters more than the food, but if I ever step foot in this dire excuse for a restaurant again it will be because I’ve fallen down and hit my head whilst scurrying past it. mindingbellieswell.blogspot.com
Nice gastropub with consistently good food. Menu is constantly changing, so there’s always a good chance you’ll find something you’re in the mood for. It seems to be getting more spruced up by the month . . . I’ll leave it to you to decide whether that’s a pro or a con.
