All In London Review
Comforting British food in Wandsworth
We step in to find a cosy interior thanks to walls lined with bookshelves and kitchen artefacts. It’s only a Tuesday but the place is bustling with drinkers, dining couples and even a large birthday group.
The menu is British and hearty. To start, Friend chooses the fried duck egg on toast with mushrooms (£6.50). A variety of wild mushrooms sliced and fried in liberal amounts of garlic and oil, plus a duck egg sprinkled with plenty of salt make up this rich-tasting dish.
The poached salmon terrine (£6.50) is creamy and smooth in texture with lovely briny capers. It comes with a drizzle of dill mayonnaise, toast, and watercress.
Friend decides to go for a traditional fish and chips with mushy peas (£10.50). A large portion of battered fish with hand cut chips - served in a paper bag, fish ‘n’ chip shop-style - arrives, with a pot of tartare sauce and tasty peas that are surprisingly un-mushy.
The rolled breast of veal (£12.50) has been twisted into a circle before cooking, retaining a ring of fat around it which has allowed the veal to cook in its own juices, however I find the fatty layer a little too thick. The Swiss chard provides a welcome crunch, and the creamed celeriac goes well with both the meat and veg.
For desserts we opt for a chocolate fondant with pistachio ice cream (£5.75). Warm chocolate sauce oozes out, however the pistachio flavour is barely perceptible. It is the rhubarb and custard brulée (£5.75) that excels however, creamy with a hefty layer of fruity rhubarb, it is deliciously moreish.
Food at this Wandsworth gastro-pub is comforting and hearty, ideal for fans of British grub. Expect to pay around £65 for a three course meal for two with wine.
