Roux at the Landau – Review
The FoodieBoys needed to up their game. Sure, we know the street food scene like the back of our heavily stamped hands (they sometimes stamp your hand) but it was time for a bit of fine dining. With us not being wealthy men (yet! If you’d like to give us money, let us know and […]
Review: Lucky Chip @ Birthdays, Dalston
On hearing that Lucky Chip were transporting their patty offerings from Hackney to trendy Dalston, our Foodie Senses went into overdrive. After a few well-placed calls, we hadn’t really got anywhere, so it was fortunate that a work colleague mentioned he could get us on the guest list for their opening night. When we rocked […]
Smokehouse Chiswick – review
Neil Rankin’s Smokehouse has opened a second branch, taking over the Hole In The Wall pub in Chiswick. If it can deliver as much pleasure as some holes in the wall they will surely be on to a good thing. The Smokehouse is all about the meat – a lot like some holes in the […]
GBK
“Hey, fancy heading out for lunch today?” said my colleague. “Yes, why not. Where shall we go?” I replied. “GBK?” my colleague offered confidently. “Well, I do like burgers especially gourmet ones prepared in a kitchen.” I quipped. After grabbing some monkey nuts, (I don’t like them but they’re free) we sat down and discussed […]
Snaps & Rye: Toby’s Lunch 12th February
We’ve noticed some bloggers contributing to Transun’s guide to Scandinavian Restaurants in the UK, and I wanted to throw our hat in the ring. After all, Toby’s been to Denmark before, so knows a thing or two about Viking eats. So it was that Toby managed to persuade a colleague to come for lunch at […]
Papa Del’s Takeaway, Review
Owing to an non-forecast hangover, I found myself in the mood for a takeaway this evening. Perusing the options on the excellent JustEat app, I found myself curious about the option of burgers, delivered! Well, I’ve tasted burgers from my own grill, vans, kebab houses, street vendors and fast food outlets, but never have I […]
Cubana – Close But No (Cuban) Cigar!
The Foodie Boys were off to the theatre, so you know what that means; PRE-THEATRE DIN DINS! We won’t divulge exactly what it was we were going to see as we feel tarnishing the name of the show with this food may leave a bad taste in the mouth, like the food did. Upon walking […]
Toby reviews Duke’s Head – Pulled 1st January.
People who aren’t aware of The Duke’s Head in Highgate are missing out on one of the best kept secrets in London – a pub with more beers than you could swing your drinking arm at. Not that you’d want to swing your arms aggressively, as, on the whole, everyone seems quite nice there. They […]
Dishoom Shoreditch – review
We were presented with the menus. We settled on a couple of light bites to kick us off, some Okra fries and lamb samosas.
Both were delicious, especially with the assorted chutneys to accompany them. One spicy, one less spicy and one not spicy at all. The Three Indian Bears would have had a field day!
Review: The Old Dairy, Crouch Hill
Happy Sunday! What better day to share a review of a roast dinner I recently sampled in Crouch Hill? Welcomed in by the dulcet tones of Bon Iver, I knew instantly I would warm to the Old Dairy like an old friend. With a nice India Pale on tap, so much the better. As I […]
