This place is Peckham car park where on the top floor there is <a href="http://www.twitter.com/frankspeckham">Franks</a> and the floor below <a href="http://www.twitter.com/alibabajuice">Alibabas</a> snack bar. On a clear day you have the most fantastic views over London not to mention the reasonably priced drinks and great atmosphere. Alibabas snack bar has an array of drinks you will never have heard of but are just wonderful. Chris really knows how to add ingredients together creating some amazing flavours! I won't rant on about how great this place is I urge you to find out by yourself! To get to the car park head towards Peckham Plex Cinema (5 quid all day everyday) swing a right and follow the path round - you will see the entrance to the carpark...just keep going up!!<br />

Like PRR we have read many great reviews on Pedler and this time we were not at all disappointed and had one of the best breakfasts we have ever had!<br />
<br />
We started our day by both smashing our 10K PBs at the Peckham Rye 10K which was 3 and a bit laps of Peckham Rye Park. The event was well organised by <a href="http://www.twitter.com/mccpromotions">Mccpromotions</a> , we got to try <a href="http://www.twitter.com/truestartcoffee">True Start Coffee</a> (the world's first caffeine controlled performance coffee) and on completion we received medals and tshirts for the small fee of £13 - this may have to be an annual 10K for us! <br />

We made the short walk to Pedler which is opposite the park and we were seated very quickly at the bar which meant we could really interact with the staff who were some of the nicest staff we have come across. They straight away engaged with us enquiring why we were red faced with medals round our necks and this was a lovely touch and we knew from that second on we were going to enjoy our time at Pedler. I went for a freshly squeezed orange juice and Soph a ginger ale to kick us off while we looked at the menu and around at the restaurant and bar. The whole place has a lovely laid back feel to it and there were some classic tunes being blasted around the place but at a comfortable level to have a conversation. The bar staff were all dressed really similar and the whole place oozed familiarity.<br />

Having just run 6 miles we wanted to eat the whole menu but decided to be sensible and pick one item each - leaving room for something a bit special at the end! The pancakes stood out for me and the all day breakfast for Soph but before ordering we were taken through the menu and advised that the pancakes were more like a sweet Yorkshire pudding loaded with leeks & gruyere cheese or parma ham and gruyere topped with maple syrup - sounds strange but was an absolute delight. The 'pancake' was crispy and doughy where it should be and topped with lashings of delicious gruyere cheese. They had actually run out of leeks so made me a special pancake with spinach, mushrooms and parma ham and I was in food heaven. <br />

Sophs Pedler breakfast was everything a full English should be and more! From her first mouthful of house made bbq beans she announced it was quite possibly the best breakfast she has ever had. The bacon was cooked how it should be (pink, with a bit of crunch), the sausage truly delicious and infused with little bird gin made in collaboration with Flock & Herd, bone marrow, grilled mushroom & potato rosti all topped with two perfectly poached eggs and melt in the mouth bread with maple syrup butter. The breakfast was so tasty, most items were grilled therefore not swimming in oil or fat and you could tell it was cooked to order.<br />

While we were tucking into our meals 2 trays of donuts and a chocolate tart were placed right next to us and we just couldn't resist the urge to take 1 away - which one should we go for tho? That was our dilemma of the day! We were faced with the house dumpkin filled with sweet pumpkin cream (although we were advised that no cream was harmed in the making of this donut) or one filled with cream and topped with chocolate and sprinkles. We asked our server which was her favourite and went with the dumpkin only to be presented with both at the end of the meal as a congrats on running the race. We were truly touched by this kind gesture as random acts of kindness are so hard to find, especially in London. We managed to save the donuts to eat with our <a href="http://www.twitter.com/alibabajuice">Alibaba</a> coffees (their new place has now opened and the coffee and Arran are just ACE) and decided the dumpkin was defs our favourite!<br />

Pedler has restored our faith in eateries in Peckham and we are already deciding when to go back - perhaps when this half is done so we can sample the cocktail menu!<br />
Pedler prides itself as a local neighbourhood eatery however we urge you to jump on that train or bus to Peckham if you are not a local to see what you are missing out on not living in SE15.<br />
<br />
Our meal including 2 drinks, mains, donut and service - £25 <br />
Service, staff and vibe - priceless<br />

Last week after hearing my colleagues rave about <a href="http://www.twitter.com/porkyslondon">Porkys</a> Bankside I decided it was time I got down there during lunch and my god...they had down played how good it was! You can find Porkys opposite the globe and the second I saw beer pong tables set up I knew I was going to really enjoy my rest day lunch! We were seated immediately at the back of the restaurant and as I was with some Porkys veterans they ordered the warm up platter from the off and some frontier beer with bourbon chasers which I had to decline as i'm off the booze for the half so I went for a delicious passion fruit mocktail.<br />

Our sharing starter was presented to our table and all conversation stopped while we tucked it. I enjoyed every single element with the pork croquette or chicken wings being my favourite, however the hush puppies caused quite a stir with 3 of the 4 of us loving them and the other 1 just not getting it. The mug of chilli had a really good kick to it and the bread served as a great spoon to mop it all up. It was at this point we discovered the out of this world chilli sauce that was on the table, being a huge fan of hot sauces this one had it spot on in terms of heat with a lovely barbeque aftertaste.<br />

Once our starter had been demolished and cleared away one of the lovely staff came to take our main order - we all thought this was a lovely touch that they had effectively left us alone and not bombarded us to take our main order. Having recently cooked pulled pork at home I decided to try the ribs and burnt ends which is not something I would usually go for but it was wicked. Both ribs were really meaty and came away from the bone with minimal effort and the burnt ends were exactly how they should be. The side sauce and pickles added moisture, texture and zing to the ribs. I declined on chips but did tuck into the bacon mac and cheese and pitt beans which we placed in the middle of the table for all to share. The mac and cheese was really creamy and cheesy and not stringy and the beans had ample pulled pork running through...yum!<br />

Below is the food the boys ordered and wolfed down...the two Greeks who like their meat cremated seemed to have been converted to the medium burger way of life and both loved the porky burger - they did let me try a TINY bit and I liked what I tried. Dave (the discoverer of Porkys) was really happy with the tangy sandwich and commented that the chilli slaw had just the right amount of kick and lip tingling.<br />

I was defeated by my 2 ribs so no desert for me however the two Greeks were in 'fat boy mode' and both went for the peanut butter sundae and I had the biggest food envy when it arrived! They again let me have a TINY spoonful and each layer was a true delight with a nutty base.<br />

Porkys was one hell of a lunch experience and I wish all rest day lunches could be that good...however feel I wouldn't make it round the half marathon course if it was! I cannot wait to return when I will be drinking and can get on that beer pong table! Thanks Porkys for a delightful lunch.</div>

After deciding Shadwell was the best place to watch we decided to brunch in Peckham and then get the overground. Having been to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/lerrynscafe">Lerryn's</a> in the past and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/pedlerpeckham">Pedler </a>being in just the wrong location, today, it fell to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/peckhamrefreshment">Peckham Refreshment Rooms</a> (PRR for the purpose of this post) to fill our hungry tummies.<br>
<br>
PRR is situated on Blenheim Grove near the station just after the hair salons. We have actually walked passed this place a few times not realising what it was. It wasn't until we went to <a href="http://peckhamite.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/peckham-has-tapas-baryes-it-is-true.html">Miss Tapas</a> a few doors down that we realised it was PRR. The interior is very pleasant and much bigger than we thought it would be. I would say that it is split into two areas a restaurant side and bar side with high tables and stools. The breakfast menu was written on a chalkboard and in some places we found it difficult to read (mainly me and my poor eyesight). <br>
<br>
Sarah ordered a bacon sandwich and I went for the bacon and egg. We decided against drinks as I had already had a <a href="http://www.twitter.com/mousetailcoffee">Mousetail</a> coffee and Sarah had downed a..you guessed it... AKB (apple, kale and Basil) from <a href="http://www.twitter.com/alibabajuice">alibaba</a>. Once we had placed the order (which initially they got wrong), we waited and waited and waited... probably for a good 25-30 mins at least. When the food finally arrived we were greeted with this....<br>

Now this is only my opinion but to me this bacon looks pretty well done. And believe me it was not great; super salty, burnt bacon is not our idea of a nice breakfast. When biting into the sandwich the cremated bacon just crumbled - of all the bacon in the sandwich there was about 5% which remained pink!! Sarah said it reminded her of when she used to forget about the bacon she was cooking hungover at University and would just have to eat it as there was nothing else in the house or felt too ill to try again. Not the sort of quality we expected from a place we have seen good reviews on...maybe the chefs were all hungover or still drunk!?<br>
<br>
This same ash flavoured bacon was placed on top of the eggs which were seasoned nicely however they were very annoying to eat out of the flaky black mini frying pan thing that they came in. Eggs with burnt bits of pan and burnt bacon isn't what we ordered. On the plus side the bread was nice and fresh. Not sure how hygienic it is serving butter on the chopping board that my frying pan a la eggs came on was though.<br>

All in all as you can probably tell we were really disappointed and actually would have sent the food back if we weren't in such a rush or left it if we weren't so hungry. Our meal came to £10.50 and the hunt for Peckham's best breakie/brunch definitely continues.<br>

Bad Egg is in Moorgate which is an area of London we don't know very well but it is situated in a nice little courtyard type area. It was started by 4 friends who wanted to create a Chicago style all day dinner and this is the exact vibe they have created. We loved everything about the interior including the neon signs, leather booths and funky lightbulb lighting and could definitely see us spending all day chilling in the restaurant (when we are drinking properly again!)</span><br />

Not knowing anyone else at the event we grabbed a high table for two and sat down - both nearly falling off as the leather stools were really quite slippy! The evening started with a cocktail and although we are off the booze in prep for the half we decided to roll with it and have the cocktail! We really didn't know what to expect as neither of us have had Mezcal before ,however, we enjoyed our smokey peachy drink. We would have then moved onto a Camden Pale or Beavertown but we grabbed cans of diet coke..rock and roll!<br />

The food came pretty soon after our welcome drink but not before <a href="http://www.twitter.com/frontlinechef">Neil</a> had explained to us what we were going to eat and how/why he came up with it! This was such a lovely personal touch and we could really tell he had put some thought into the menu. So up first was raw beef tostadas Korean style and they were absolutely delicious. Two salty crispy taco shells topped with juicy beef, sweet cubes of apple drizzled with spicy sauce. Everything went great together and with each mouthful came a delightful mix of sweet, salty and crispy and soft - great textures going on.<br />

Once all the plates had been cleared Neil tried to explain the inspiration behind the burger he had come up with because lets be honest...nearly every burger combo has been done...except this one!<br />
The burger was cooked medium rare exactly how we liked it but cooked in chicken coating giving it a totally new dimension. It was topped with raclette cheese with bone marrow and pickles creating a gooey cheesy mess - GOOD MESS THO! As a side we were treated to foie grois & confit duck chips...yes you read correctly..foie grois! This was melted down and mixed with Bad Eggs usual béchamel like cheese sauce and this coated our ample portion of chips which was scattered full of delicious duck. This was a side that just kept giving and seemed bottomless - how many ducks were used in the making of this dish we do wonder!? Overall we really enjoyed both the burger and side however we were missing something else to help break up the richness but a side salad would have just looked so out of place! Each table was kitted out with mustard, ketchup and sirracha and we found the heat of the sirracha really helped bring everything together. Soph wasn't so keen on the chicken/beef combo as it messed with her head as it looked like fried chicken but I thought the burger was yummy.<br />

To finish our glutinous evening we were treated to peanut butter and jelly cheesecake which was presented in a large glass bowl enabling us to see the layers of oreo crumb, creamy peanut butter and tangy jelly jam. Being a HUGE fan of peanut butter I demolished this desert in a matter of seconds but then suffered in the biggest food coma!!<br />

We were surprised that there was no egg element to the menu as eggs feature heavily on their regular menu however this just means we will have to return to the Bad Egg in the near future and the bottomless brunch menu is looking very appealing after the 25th May when all this running stops and we get our social lives back!! Thanks again to Camilla & all at Bad Egg for a fab evening!

When we hit mile 8 we were both feeling the burn in the legs and the only thing that got us through was the thought of heading into Peckham for a Pizza and today <a href="http://www.twitter.com/crustconductor">Crust Conductor</a> was on the menu as they only have 2 weeks left at their residency at Brick Brewery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As with all trips to Peckham our first stop is Mousetail coffee followed by <a href="http://www.twitter.com/alibabajuice">Alibaba</a> juice, however today we turned down the lane and there was the biggest queue we have seen in a long time so we crossed over and headed straight to the Brewery. If you haven't been to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/brick_brewery">Brick Brewery</a> you really should as it has a great vibe and their beers are lovely. Today, we were confronted with a huge red double decker bus parked infront of the bar and jumped aboard, passed the open kitchen/pizza oven and headed upstairs. On top deck there were ample cute tables for four and also a dj booth...yes a dj booth! The bus was pumping out some really good music adding to the cool vibe. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The menu was very reasonably priced and there were 2 pizzas that took our fancy however once we saw the chorizo starter we decided to pick that and go for 1 pizza to share (The not so Ameican, but hot). </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Our starter arrived and we were raring to tuck in however it did come with a heat warning and thank god it did as the balls were like molton lava although they were bloody delicious when we finally got to stuff our faces. The chorizo was swimming in a garlicky red sauce that tasted fab and once all our dough balls had gone we kept the sauce and dipped our crusts into it...we may also have drunk the container dry! The starter was presented in a foil take away container which meant it was perfect for eating outside which we noticed many people were doing.</div>

We really enjoyed our pizza as the crust was just how we like it - thin, crisp and covered with ample toppings. The toppings all worked really well together and the jalapenos had a subtle kick which wasn't too overpowering or made your lips and whole face sting! However, it wasn't quite hot enough for us so we did add some of the chilli oil that was already at our table along with some Parmesan which seemed to majorly excite Soph at the sight of parmesan - why I don't know! The pizza was a good size and we left the bus pretty darn full! We would have loved to have washed our pizza down with a beer however we are trying to stay off the booze in preparation for this half marathon :(<br>

The Crust Conductor will be in Peckham until the 2nd May when they will drive off for a summer of festivals! As the table next to us kept saying 'this place is mint' so we urge you to get down before they go!<br>

We first tried <a href="http://www.twitter.com/cevicheuk">Ceviche</a> a couple of years back with our friends to celebrate a birthday. Being very much a food novice, I (Soph) had never really heard of Peruvian cuisine let alone tried it. I very much enjoyed what I ate during my first experience, even if it was just the meat (I used to hate fish). So when Sarah (who has been to Peru and loves peruvian cuisine) saw that Ceviche were opening a new venue in old street she was right onto them to get a reservation. Sarah arrived early and happily spent 50 mins while I was in the gym drinking a Cusquena which is a Peruvian beer she lived off for 3 months and eating cancha which is effectively crunchy corn. The bar area was really large and the people behind were so friendly and passionate about the restaurant. After getting abit lost trying to find the entrance (ending up in a hotel lobby) I arrived late to find she had moved onto cocktails and had one waiting for me. Despite not liking pisco while travelling Sarah thought she would give it another go and ordered us a Peru Boom and La Jarra which was infused with chilli, both were tasty but neither of us are converts!</div>

On my arrival we moved to our table which was round the side of the bar right by the open kitchen. The old street restaurant is much bigger than their Soho one and kitted out with local Peruvian art which Sarah would have tapped up if she had any wall space! We found our table quite noisy and although appreciate that having an open kitchen and full service it was going to be noisy we found ourselves having to raise our voices and a fair amount of the conversation ended up consisting of "what?", "huh?", "pardon?".</div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
We set about looking at the menu even though we pretty much knew what we were ordering as this had been decided when we got the confirmation of booking. When the waiter arrived we ordered basically quarter to half of the menu and he seemed surprised by the amount 2 girls would order - we reassured him that we would finish it all and actually we ordered more once the first lot had arrived. This wasn't due to small portions but due to how good the food was we just wanted to try more!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
So where to start with what we ate? I guess we break it down as per the menu...</div>

<strong>Huevo Criollo</strong></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
Burford Brown egg, quinoa, morcilla sangrecita, rocoto sauce</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
So this was pretty much a black pudding scotch egg. It was rich and yoky and lovely. The rocotto sauce was spicy and very addictive. We polished off the whole lot pretty sharpish.</div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
In basic terms, these are corn fritters served with a wasabi mayo. This probably sounds a tad strange but I found these too sweet. They went well with the mayo but alone, for me, they could have passed as a desert. I probably wouldn't order these again as they just weren't quite to our taste.</div>

<strong>Ceviche del Día</strong></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
(Available Tues-Sat) Cornwall Project day-fresh fish, celery, red onion, plantain chifles, sweet potato, classic tiger’s milk. The fish of the day was lemon sole (which I had never tried before) was presented really nicely but in terms of flavour didn't really blow me away. I personally found the fish a little rubbery and tasteless.</div>

The tuna was presented differently to the usual chuck of fish that you get in ceviche but it was beautiful and worked really well with the sharp lime sauce.</div>

This little dish we found to be the dark horse of our evening. Not entirely sure what to expect from the first mouthful we were sold. The flavour yet again blew us away, the one thing I would say is the texture of the dish I guess is a bit porridge like. It took a while for me to get my head round that and it wouldn't be to every bodies taste, I say give it a go.</div>

We received this dish at the same time as we got the quarter chicken and OMG was it a taste sensation. The steak was perfectly cooked and just fell apart. The proper cooked chips were PROPER! Crispy on the outside whilst being amazingly soft on the inside. In my opinion the best thing on the dish was the sauce. Saltado sauce is a traditional peruvian sauce originating from the Chifa tradition (a kind of Chinese/Peruvian combination). That is about as far as my knowledge goes with this sauce, one thing I do know is that it is EPIC.</div>

Unfortunately neither of us liked this dish, to the extent that we had one mouthful each and left the rest. We didn't like the pork cheeks at all, this isn't necessarily due to bad cooking or ingredients, I just think we don't like pork cheeks.</div>

What a nice way to finish a great feast. Individually this desert was pretty good but when you put them altogether it works really well. The chilli element is subtle to begin with and builds up nicely into an intense flavour (it doesn't blow your head off).</div>

has a Tapas bar...yes it is true!<span id="goog_1102550347"></span><span id="goog_1102550348"></span>What's the best thing about signing up for a half marathon? Training? Getting fitter? Pushing your body to the limits and achieving a goal? NO - for us it is planning the run to end up at a new place or in a new restaurant! Last Saturday we did just this and made sure our route finished at our fav juice bar for the usual AKB from <a href="http://www.twitter.com/alibabajuice">Alibaba</a>. We love catching up with Chris and Sienna and hearing about their new ventures including a coffee bar and the sucess of their recently opened evening bar which has such a great vibe. We are sure they have many other great projects in the pipeline and cannot wait to report on their deserved success.<br />
<br />
With the refreshing juices down our necks we headed for <a href="http://www.twitter.com/misstapas">Miss Tapas</a> which is one of the newest restaurants in Peckham and being huge fans of Spanish cuisine we just couldn't wait to get in. The restaurant is just off Rye Lane and once we stepped through the door we felt like we had just stepped off the plane in Malaga (My parents (Sarah) have a place out there so we go on regular trips). We were greeted at the door and sat at a quaint table for two facing the menu board - no table menus here as it changes daily!<br />

We have frequented many tapas bars in London prior to this one and always gone away feeling like something was missing or that we were majorly ripped off for the amount of food we got. Looking at the menu at Miss Tapas considering we were in Peckham we were quite shocked at the price however we soon got to sample the food and comparing it to the likes of the terrible chain La Tasca we soon realised that the price was reasonable for the portions and good tasting grub.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We decided to start our late lunch with 3 dishes - the jamon croquetas, chorizo al vino & tortilla Espanol which are standardly ordered when we get to Spain. The portion sizes were good however as we were 2 people having 6 bits of everything would have caused less arguments and debate over who got the 5th piece! The croquetas were lovely and crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle just how they should be. The jamon was delicious and the quality and authenticity oozed through with every bite. Up next was the chorizo and although they look small they packed in a whole lot of flavour and punch. The wine sauce was so delicious we had to order some bread to soak it up and the bread was equally as good! Being two fatties who had just done a quick 5km to get to Miss Tapas we wanted to try more of the Spanish goodness so went for the slow cooked Ox cheek however we were too early for this dish so went for the quail egg & chorizo tostadas which were 3 bites of heaven.</div>

Friday saw us venture into the deepest darkest depths Wandsworth in search of the Barmouth Kitchen, home of the <a href="http://www.twitter.com/thepickledfork">Pickled Fork</a>. As some of you may or may not know our first encounter with the Pickled Fork was at the Brixton Diner which was utterly incredible. At the time Pickled Fork were a duo however Chris and Alex have now gone their separate ways in terms of cooking but they are still great friends and share an allotment.</div>

We arrived bang on time for once, and were greeted by Alex. He showed us to our table after explaining that he would start serving once everybody had arrived. With our bottle of red breathing we sat and admired our surroundings. Its funny how London differs so widely from area to area, street to street even. Take for example the stark difference between Peckham's kind of grunginess to this area of Wandsworth with its tree lined streets, big houses (that are actually still houses and not split into 4 tiny flats) and quaint little cafes. The reason I am blabbing on so much about this is it is the first time we have ever been to a pop up in a place that has as many high chairs as adult chairs and pots of crayons everywhere (not that this is a complaint). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway enough about that.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the menu is a set 4 course menu, this menu changes every month with different produce coming into and going out of season and Alex also told us that he gets bored if he cooks the same things over and over (who wouldn't to be fair).</div>

Our first course was served around 8pm and from the second the plate was put in front of us we knew we were in for a real treat. 1st up was a crumpet topped with cheesy cauliflower goodness,crispy pig ear paired with fermented sultanas and charred endive (something we have never had before). Every single element on this plate worked so well together, the saltiness of the pig ear with the bitter char and mature cheddar was just fantastic...so good we actually asked for seconds and may have cleaned the plate for Alex!</div>

After a short interlude Alex delivered our main which was a taste sensation - venison wellington with leek lasagna and liquorice gravy. Sounds strange we know but again top credit to the chef for his fantastic pairing and seasoning. The venison was cooked perfectly and wrapped in lovely flaky pastry, it appears venison is becoming one of our favourite meats and this dish helped show how versatile a meat it is. For the third time of the evening we became members of the clean plate club.</div>

Reading the menu prior to arriving desert was the course Sarah was least looking forward to as she doesn't like rhubarb however, she left the pickled fork pop up being a huge fan. The dish was arranged in such a way that the whole milk pudding (which was delicious) was to be used as a palate cleanser for the other elements of the dish including the doughnut and fudge which were both very sweet but totally awesome. </div>

Overall we had an absolutely superb evening with banging food which was definitely restaurant standard if not better.

However she only noticed the flat as we arrived at <a href="http://www.thelondonbeerfactory.com/">The London Beer Factory</a> which meant we could sample more of their beers than had we of been cycling back!<br />
<div>
We were greeted by Ed at the door and he guided us straight to the bar where there were 3 beers on offer at £3 a pint - absolute bargain!</div>

Sarah chose the Paxton Pale Ale (5.0%) and Soph the Chelsea Blonde (4.3%) and from the first sip we knew we were going to enjoy our afternoon immensely! The brewery was on a smaller scale to Camden but they are still producing really good tasting beer which we truly believe will be a big hit on a bigger scale. Ed and his brother Sim started the company with their wine and brewing backgrounds last year and decided to brew 3 very different beers to cater to all tastes and they also brew for <a href="http://www.twitter.com/FrancoMancaPizz">Franco Manca</a>. The set up of the Brewery was fantastic and makes a great venue for sporting events or actually any event due to the large screen and wooden benches. They also have table football, a darts board and apparently a few beer pong tables which excites us immensely. We settled in for the first half of the Wales V Scotland game and our glasses were soon empty so onto our second pint. </div>

This time Sarah tried the London Session and Soph stuck to the Blonde as she liked it so much. The Londoner has a lower ABV (3.8%) than the other two beers but is still packed full of flavour - a little too much for Sarah though having had the pale ale as her starting beer but none the less the pint was finished and enjoyed just not as much as the Pale Ale. The brewery also has a really nice little outside space where Josh was making burgers and we got to demloish these just before half time. We both had bacon and cheese with all the salad and really enjoyed them...although being burger snobs they were a little bit overdone for us but the char of the bun and the crispy bacon added a crunch to the burger.</div>

During half time Ed took me on a tour of the brewery where I got to see the UK grown malt which was really insightful and a priveledge to learn more about the company and brand. Being quite a new company they are just starting to get bottles out of their beer and I got to see the newly designed labels which are really cool and eye catching - I look forward to seeing them on the shelves! We ended our afternoon with another pint of Blonde and a happy Soph as Wales won but due to the prospect of a walk not ride with one punctured bike we decided to head off for West Norwood Station back to Peckham. </div>

The London Beer Factory is situated between Gipsy Hill, West Norwood and Crystal Palace and easily accessed by train, car or unpunctured bikes. We really recommend watching the rest of the 6 nations here as the screen is huge and your beer is being brewed right infront of your eyes for 3 quid a pint - bargain for London prices! Check out their website as they have a deal on at the moment for burger, beer and the games for £10 which really cannot be faulted! We really hope the boys decide to do more events at their brewery and will be looking forward to heading back ourselves in the near future.</div>

These days were different for both of us. I remember my first bottle of hells like it was yesterday...sat in a small boozer in Camden during Camden crawl feeling a little bit delicate. From my first sip I was hooked, it almost instantly perked me up (until my next wave of nausea anyway). It has been my beer of choice ever since (wherever I could find it). So when I opened a little very light parcel on my birthday it was like something out of Charlie and the chocolate factory, Sarah had only manage to bag us tickets on the <a href="http://www.twitter.com/camdenbrewery">Camden Town Brewery</a> tour.<br />
<br />
<br />
We rocked up early as always so decided to have a cheeky pint before the tour started. My choice was hells whilst Sarah chose a pint of the pale ale. The bar area in the brewery is really nice and, in winter especially as it has a bit of an apres ski feel about it.<br />

<br />
Our tour commenced at 6:30pm and due to a computer error there were a lot more than 10 people (the max they norm do) on the tour with us however this did not dampen any of the tour. We had a brief history lesson of the company while outside stood by the outside mounted tanks and were in ore of how far and quick the brewery has grown since 2006 when Jasper was brewing in the basement of his pub. We were each given a can of hells (our fav at the beginning of the tour) to accompany us on the first part of the tour, so we donned our safety glasses and headed into willy wonkas inventing room!<br />

It was here we learnt how beer is made, got to try some malt (tasty) and hops (not advisable) and got to look into the tanks where they were currently brewing beer for <a href="http://www.twitter.com/byronhamburgers">Byron</a> burgers - something that we did not know they did and will now defs try Byrons beer when we next go!<br />

<br />
After a can of pale ale we hit the room which houses a lot more tanks and got to try some beer straight out of the tank - it was delicious and we also go to see more of the master brewers at work. Whilst here we also got a can of IHL which is 6.1% and quickly became our favourite Camden beer! The last stop on our wonderful tour was to the bottling room where we got to see the end product and by god were they churning it out!<br />

We had an absolute blast on the tour; learnt a lot, ate rank hops, drunk wonderful beer and got to meet and interact with the lovely staff at the brewery! Shout out also to our guide who was fantastic despite being a Patriots fan!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After our pre pint and tour cans we stopped at the bar for a few more where Soph stuck to hells and Sarah tried the stout to round off the evening! We couldn't ignore our rumbling bellies so made sure we got some of <a href="http://www.twitter.com/butchies_london">Butchies</a> chicken before it ran out and WOW it was delicious and went really nicely with our beers! The chicken was moist with a really crispy punchy casing and the dips were perfect to accompany the chicken.<br />

Go for food and beer of course. Luckily we were both relatively near Southwark/London bridge when our punctures happened, this meant only one thing.. Bunsmiths soft launch!!<br />
For 3 days <a href="http://www.twitter.com/bunsmiths">Bunsmiths</a> were having their soft launch at The Millers Pub (near Guy's hospital). After negotiating / arguing about whether to remove the said punctured wheels we strolled into the pub, detached wheel in hand (yes just the one wheel, my bike stayed intact). We wondered round the fairly packed pub looking for a table and finally spotted a couple leaving. Sarah was straight in with her ninja like movement. We ordered the buttermilk chicken bun, BBQ bun and a side of chilli fries. Our drinks were Brick Brewery American IPA and a Belleville Thames Surfer. Both of these are some of our favourites.<br />
The food came within about 10 / 15 mins of ordering it, we were delighted about this as we were pretty ravenous. The chicken had a really good flavour and consistency. It was crispy yet moist and seasoned really well. The BBQ bun was also a very enjoyable experience; juicy and packed with flavour. There was one minor gripe from Sarah and this was a lack of crunchy burnt ends. The fries were actually some of the best we have ever tasted, and topped with slow cooked pork and beef this only made them better. To be honest I wish we had tried the whole menu, although this gives us another chance to go back and carry on ticking the beers off too.<br />
Massively sorry about the sideways pictures...for some reason I cannot rotate them.<br />

After a little hairy cycle we made it a little windswept and cold but very excited. We were prepared for a wait after peering in through the window alas to our delight we got a table straight away. As per usual we had basically pre decided what we were eating before we had arrived. I plumbed for the beef dip and flip burger whilst Sarah chose the chilli cheeseburger, and because it is January we shared a cheese and gravy fries. We felt after our journey we deserved a beer, it was a really nice surprise to see a wide variety of craft beers. Sarah picked <a href="http://www.twitter.com/sambrookale">Sam Brooks pump house</a> pale ale and I chose <a href="http://www.twitter.com/flyingdog">The Flying Dog Brewery</a> Easy IPA.<br />
<div>
The drinks came quickly and were both really refreshing with a great fruity burst. Our burgers arrived shortly after and I was so glad that they hadn't scrimped on the gravy (this was my biggest concern). The minute we cut into these burgers we knew we were onto a winner, the meat was soft, good quality and cooked how we were told it would be cooked (a rarity). After taking a couple of snaps (as quick as possible) we tucked in, and oh my gosh. I have not had the feeling of joy that I had today for a very long time, and in fact I have only ever had about 4 times in my life. This feeling can only be described as burger love. My first honest, my first patty and bun, my first bleecker and now this. I am pretty sure that Sarah agrees. I had food everywhere but I literally could not stop eating. The roast beef dipped in gravy was cooked to absolute perfection (nice and pink) and melted in my mouth. These guys have also had the great idea of adding white cabbage to this piece of heaven which added a great bit of texture. Sara's chilli cheeseburger was the perfect match of green chillis and a soft patty. The fries didn't really get a look in until the burgers were finished, for me this only helps as the fries soak up the 3 day gravy (yes it really does take 3 days to make) and allow the cheese to melt. Everything was seasoned to perfection in fact the whole thing was pretty damn perfect. Our meal came to around £29 and was 100% worth it.</div>
<div>
I really urge everybody to visit these guys even though they are hidden away in Clapham Junction...the trip is definitely worth it.</div>

WEEEEEEEE'RRRRREEEEE BBBBAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!! After a couple of months out of action (eating and blogging) we are now back on the band wagon.<br />
Earlier this week I was sat trawling twitter deciding where we were going to eat first this year, when I came across a tweet from <a href="http://www.twitter.com/houseofho">@theho<span id="goog_1865119062"></span><span id="goog_1865119063"></span>us<span id="goog_1865119066"></span><span id="goog_1865119067"></span>eofho</a>. It stated that between the 12th and 17th of jan they are giving away free pho as part of their new lunch menu. I really love pho so got straight on the phone to book our table.<br />
We turned up a little early (not as early as usual) and were seated straight away. The choices of pho were simple; chicken, beef, seafood or veggie. We both went for beef and chose a starter of duck rolls from the main menu. The service was fairly slow to begin with, it took quite a while for someone to see to us at first. Once our drinks order was placed (water and lemongrass lemonade) things moved pretty quickly. Shortly after the drinks arrived the crisp confit duck rolls arrived. The duck is served with perilla leaves, gizzards and sliced grapes all wrapped in rice noodle rolls. This dish had 5 bite size pieces and was accompanied by a dish of sriracha. All together we were very pleasantly suprised (we weren't entirely sure what we were going to get). The duck was cooked to perfection , very soft and flavoursome. <br />
The pho's arrived very promptly after the starters. Served up in the way they should be with the herbs, beansprouts and chilli on the side. The difference with this pho was that the us cooked beef also appeared on the side plate. We thought this was a great idea as you could add the beef (which cooked in the broth) as you went along therefore stopping it from overcooking. The broth had a really rich, deep beefy flavour. We have had so many very bland pho soups so it was really nice to have one with a real depth of flavour. Add perfectly cooked noodles, the melt in the mouth beef and the crunchy spring onions, and you have an absolute winner. <br />
House of ho are only 1 year old and I don't believe it has taken us so long to get there. We would recommend here to anybody and can't wait to get back.</div>

Last Sunday we finally hit up <a href="http://www.twitter.com/fleshandbuns">Flesh and Buns</a> to try their brunch menu with unlimited red wine, white wine and prosecco. We decided to go last Sunday as we had tickets to the 3rd international series of NFL at Wembley where the Jaguars took on the Cowboys (and lost!) so decided we needed to fill our stomachs...and that we did!!</div>

There were 2 brunch options and we went for the £39 menu - below you will see everything we ate! Starters could be ordered as many times as you wanted and then you got to pick a flesh each and then an option of either a donut or black seseme creme brulee. Even thought the menu was a bit fish top heavy for Soph's liking we had an absolutely flawless lunch. The staff were attentive, friendly and forthcoming with the prosseco which was a joy to see as the restaurant was very busy but the staff made us feel like we were the only ones there! </div>

It's hard to pick our favourite starter although if we had to pick it would probs be the salmon sashimi which was so fresh and beautifully dressed. The signature buns were very tasty although we a little rich after all the light dishes we ate and the bellies were beginning to get full! Our only grip was that we were only given one donut to share between the two of us and the donut was just so delicious we definitely wanted more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We recommend everyone to go check out Flesh and buns - such great value for money and service! </div>

Saturday saw the first EVER <a href="http://www.twitter.com/peckham_market">Peckham Market.</a> From the minute we read that Peckham was finally getting a decent food market we have been very excited and subsequently woke up super early in anticipation. Time seemed to stand still which we mooched round the house waiting for the time to don our cycling gear and head down. The market is held at the Harris Academy car park on Highshore Road, Peckham. We speedily headed down, locked the bikes up and headed for the stalls. The car park is actually a really good size so great for people who are driving down and there are numerous seating areas so you don't have to spill food all down your front (but all over the tables instead). With the sun beating down we wondered round the market unable to decide what we wanted to eat/drink first.<br />
<br />
First stop was <a href="http://www.twitter.com/SEcakery">South East Cakery</a>, where we picked up some salted caramel and oreo brownies for later on (knowing how popular they are). Their brownies are damn good, soft, not stodgy with a nice crisp outside.<br />

<br />
Our favourite juice bar <a href="http://www.twitter.com/alibabajuice">Ali Baba</a> had a stand where they had a limited selection of the juices they have on offer at their usual spot - we think they underestimated how busy they were going to be as they had already sold out of the AKB (apple, kale and basil) by the time we arrived at about 11:30. This was actually a pretty good thing for us as we would have had yet another AKB, instead we had spiced pumpkin, carrot and maple juice. We finished this very quickly and quite surprisingly really enjoyed it (neither of us especially like pumpkin). We can only imagine how much juicing Chris and Sienna did in preparation for the market - even more will be needed next week guys!<br />
<br />
Next stop was <a href="http://www.twitter.com/clubmexicana">Club Mexicana</a> who serve vegetarian burritos and tacos. On Saturday jackfruit burritos and black bean burritos were on offer and we (well Sarah) chose the bbq pulled jackfruit option which was accompanied with rice, lettuce, guacamole and sour cream. Jackfruit is not something we have ever tried before and something we think we would again! Staggering how filling something can be without being stuff full of meat!<br />

We swiftly moved from Mexican to British cuisine where we queued with the masses to try the <a href="http://www.twitter.com/OFMlondon">Original Fry Up Materials</a> breakie muffins and burger. Despite wanting to try the burger we decided we would leave that for another week and go for the breakfast option as it was before 12 and we weren't disappointed! The muffins were large and soft and managed to hold the enormous filling of sausage patty, bacon and egg very well. The sausage patty was really flavoursome and the whole thing was cooked really well but one thing was missing with our muffin and that was coffee...</div>

So we jumped straight in the <a href="http://www.twitter.com/mousetailcoffee">Mouse Tail</a> queue and sampled by far the best hazelnut mocha we have ever drunk! Each cup was lovingly made by the team and our drink even a heart on the top made out of the milk (great touch!) We were really blown away with the quality of the coffee considering it was brewed out of a VW van and even went to their regular spot by the library on Sunday for seconds!<br />

Having demolished the muffin in a matter of seconds we decided to do another lap of the market with our coffee to see who else was there/who we were going to try next week. Sarah got very excited to see that some borough market stalls were there including the one where she gets her chorizo from and a lovely looking cheese stall. There was a fish mongers, fresh fruit and veg and even a stall selling flowers - Peckham market really had everything going on!<br />
<br />
On our list for next week/when we can next go is <a href="http://www.twitter.com/thebunnychow">Bunny Chow</a>,<a href="http://www.twitter.com/mamasjerk">Mamas jerk</a> and<a href="http://www.twitter.com/peelandchimney"> Peel and Chimney</a> and we are even tempted by a pasta class with <a href="http://www.twitter.com/pastificiomansi">Pastificio Mansi</a>.<br />
<br />
The market was a huge success and credit to the band (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/edenbilly">Eden Billy</a>) who were playing some classics and also to the wonderful one feeds two initiative where every time the market was mentioned on twitter they would donate a meal to a child in poverty #tweetasyoueat<br />

Ooooh also - for bike fans which we are fast becoming Pauls Custom Cycles will be there next week doing free cycle safety checks so what you waiting for - get down to Peckham Market!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10615718998487241995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34642529350023587.post-82028342209416240012014-11-01T18:06:00.002-07:002014-11-01T18:06:25.795-07:00Shoryu Ramen<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of our friends was visiting from <span style="background-color: white;">Manchester </span>on Thursday, and being the very polite people we are we gave her the task of deciding where to eat. She chose Japanese as there are no decent restaurants in Manchester.... we knew EXACTLY where to take her. Neither of us had ever eaten at <a href="http://www.twitter.com/shoryuramen">Shoryu Ramen</a> before but we had both heard very very good things about it. We aimed to eat around 7pm so the 6 of us arranged to meet at the restaurant on Denman St at around 6:30pm. As always Sarah and I were early so stood for a bit watching scores of people wonder in and out of this place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When everybody finally arrived we were actually seated very quickly, however it was cosy. The table was the size you would expect for a table for four so six of us crammed round it eating ramen...well you can only imagine. We sat and brows<span style="background-color: white;">ed the quite extensive menu for a while, and it was nice not to feel rushed as we were chatting at the same time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Sarah and I shared a 2 piece BBQ pork buns and 3 meat gyozas. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The buns were soft, barbecuey and full of flavour. The gyoza's were cooked perfectly the soft filling worked really well with the slight crunch to the skin.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The rest of the party each chose the Dracula or the karaka tantan and gyozas. One of the girls also ordered some tempura sprouts. I was very excited about this as I LOVE sprouts and think they are so underrated however my excitement was not shared by everybody. Some of us although we don't hate sprouts will only eat them at Christmas (ahem... Sarah).</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall the food came out pretty quickly considering the amount we ordered in one go and it was absolutely delicious. My tonkotsu was a little on the spicy side for some however I thought it was perfect. It didn't take me long to work out why they named Sarahs' choice Dracula as it was so so so so garlicky. For some I could imagine it would be too garlicky however for both of us it was pretty dam spot on. I got to try one of the sprouts and they were really really good, the crunchy outside worked nicely with the well cooked sprout. I am soon learning that you can near enough tempura anything. We both left the restaurant really pleased if not alittle stinky (Sarah), and we would 100% go back.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10615718998487241995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34642529350023587.post-11274733202779054262014-10-19T12:49:00.000-07:002014-10-19T12:49:06.134-07:00A joint of the best kind<br />

We have heard great things about the joint for a while but had just never made it down to Brixton. After walking round Marylebone hungrily for a little while we finally found what we were looking for (hoping we wouldn't have to queue). We were seated straight away by the very friendly and attentive staff.<br />
As we drank our cucumber water (so rock n roll) we browsed the menu. <br />
We went for the BBQ chicken wings to start followed by the BBQ pulled pork, short rib burger, onion rings and fries (yes we were hungry)<br />

I found the chicken wings a little sickly as they were deep fat fried, and Sarah whilst liking them at first soon came round to the same trail of thought. The onion rings and fries came out at the same time as the chicken. We both very much liked the flavourful, moist onion rings, however the fries on the other hand (and I hate to say it) were anaemic and instantly forgettable.<br />

The mains soon followed, and they were big. We definitely could have got away with only ordering one main. Both mains were really very nice and very different. The buns really took the dishes to another level and really held their own against the juicy, very tasty meat. We did our usual of having half a bun each and both preferred the short rib. However this takes nothing away from the pulled pork, it was purely down to personal preference.<br />

Overall this place is great and would recommend it to anybody who loves slow cooked meat.

We popped in around 1pm to be greeted by a fair few hungry burger lovers however it wasn't long before we found ourselves a table. <br />
We chose a cheeseburger with bacon and the special (DAS BURGER). Das burger was a beef patty topped with smoked Bavarian cheese, a frankfurter, sauerkraut, curried ketchup and wholegrain mustard. As we sat drinking our cokes we watched numerous people come in and order take outs. Whether you were eating in or out everybody was served promptly and with a smile (which is always nice). The burgers are served wrapped up in a basket FULL of fries. <br />

Naturally I went straight for the fries and they were the quickest option while Sarah faffed around with photographing the food. The chips were really well salted and cooked really well (which is surprisingly hard to find). Once the photo shoot had finally drawn to a close we tucked into our burgers. We were not disappointed in the slightest. The burgers were cooked and seasoned perfectly for us. It's safe to say we haven't had burgers as nice in a while. Das burger had an amazing overall taste, the frankfurter and curried ketchup really went with the patty. This was definitely my favourite out of the 2 burgers not to say I did not like my own. Sarah really enjoyed this burger too however I think she was little overwhelmed by it. We would unquestionably rank this burger joint in our top 5 burger places in London.<br />

Soph and I are both huge fans of the show and even watch the Australian, South African and Irish versions so as you can imagine we were super excited at the prospect of the 2013 winner (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/NatalieColeman1">Natalie Coleman</a>), 2014 winner (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/WanPingCoombes">Ping Coombes</a>) and 2014 Finalist (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/jacklucas1">Jack Lucas</a>) cooking for us. When we arrived we headed straight for the bar but unusually for us not to grab cocktails but to take in the breath taking panoramic views of London which after being in China we appreciate even more.<br />

We had prepaid for the 3 course 'sharing' super prior to our arrival and we were advised to chose both options on the menu and switch plates with each other half way through. In practise this would have worked better had there of been 2 of everything like the pork bun but we worked with what we got and even Soph who HATES fish tried the mackerel and really liked it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Left: Natalie's Blow torched mackerel<br />
Right: Ping's pork sandwich<br />
<br />
Both dishes were presented beautifully and seasoned really well. All the elements on the plate worked well together and the pork belly had just the right amount of fat to meat.<br />
The mackerel worked wonderfully with the cucumber and buttermilk and even had Soph wanting more...thank you Natalie - might get Soph to a fish restaurant now!!<br />

Ping's dish was well put together and the broth was just delicious. You could really taste the love and care that had gone into making it and when we headed to the open kitchen we caught Ping checking the broth herself to ensure she was happy with it before it was sent out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jack's lamb was tasty however a little of the well done side for us. The croquette and garlic mash were the winning elements to the dish but we weren't sure what the burnt bits added.</div>

Both deserts were wolfed down by us both as they were just incredible! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Natalie's chocolate and pears is not something we have tried before and really worked. The textures were very pleasing to the pallet and the hazelnuts added another dimension..we scrapped our plate to get every last crumb!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first mouthful of Ping's desert was a WOW moment! The sharpness of the lime with the creamy coconut was a taste sensation! The granite (crushed up ice) was delicious and would love the recipe!!</div>

Overall we really enjoyed our evening however would have liked a little more as the idea was to share and sometimes you needed more than 2 mouthfuls to really appreciate the dish! We would have also liked to have sampled more of Jack's cooking. The open kitchen was great as we got to see the talented chefs at work in their home environment - they all looked super relaxed! We ended our evening buying a signed copy of Natalie's book and cannot wait to try her recipes out. </div>

Last weekend we had two big wins...first was the NFL fan forum with 3 NFL legends <span style="color: black;">(</span><span style="color: blue;">@</span><a class="twitter-atreply pretty-link" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/Andre_Reed83"><span style="color: blue;">Andre_Reed83</span></a>, <span style="color: blue;">@</span><a class="twitter-atreply pretty-link" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/Terrell_Davis"><span style="color: blue;">Terrell_Davis</span></a> & <a class="ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/RodWoodson26"><span style="color: blue;">@<span class="u-linkComplex-target">RodWoodson26</span></span></a>) , cardinals manager, Dick Ebersol - Former head of NBC Sports and Neil. We always try and attend these forums as it gives us a greater knowledge of the sport which we are fast becoming huge fans. We then spent the rest of our afternoon checking out the fan rally that was taking place on regents street. The turn out to this event was huge and really exciting to see so many Brits in NFL shirts..fingers crossed the London franchise will make it over as we will be first in line for season tickets!</div>

We had seen <a href="http://www.twitter.com/nfl_uk"><span style="color: blue;">NFL UK</span></a> were running a comp on twitter to win tickets to the Dolphins v Raiders so we made sure we stayed around Regent street which resulted in us 1) Finally trying <a href="http://www.twitter.com/flatironsteak"><span style="color: blue;">Flat Iron</span></a> 2) Winning and getting to go to the game with the best seats we've ever had!</div>

Flat Iron has been on our list of cheap eats in London that we were really keen to try due to our love for steaks. Can a steak that costs a tenner with a side salad really be as good as everyone raves about?! Well...the answer is YES! The steak was cooked medium rare and arrived a little more on the rare side but this cut of meat tastes better cooked this way. The steak was well seasoned and accompanied with a little side salad. The sides were extremly well priced and we decided to give the chips and aubergine with tomato dish a go. Appears that since coming back from China we cannot get enough of aubergine and this side was delicious. As the sauces were only 1 pound we decided to get a peppercorn and Fred sauce to share. The Fred sauce was a spicy tomato concotion but the peppercorn sauce stole the show - stick to the classics we say!<br />

If you are looking for a quick, cheap, tasty meal then Flat Iron is your place! Granted the steaks aren't as big as the likes of Gaucho and Hawkesmoor but the price v quality is something we cannot falt. The sides were also in the same bracket as many restaurants would bump up the price of the sides to compensate for the cheap steak.<br />

To celebrate the great success of the first 5 years they have been offering 50% off all steaks at their (younger) London branch. As Sarah is a huge steak fan, it would be criminal not to try this place. As we are both trying to not be triple fat fatties we made a conscious decision not to have starters or desert (this was a tough decision after looking at the menu).<br />
<br />
Sarah chose the 400g American Rib Eye cooked Medium rare and I had the 300g N.Y Strip also cooked medium rare. On a recommendation we ordered sides of cheese and bacon mash, some chili fries, broccoli and cauliflower, and a pepper sauce (in other words we went all out on mains).<br />

As we finished devouring our complimentary bread (which was very tasty) our mains arrived. The presentation really didn't disappoint and we couldn't wait to tuck in. The steaks were cooked perfectly and melted in the mouth. Both tasted good however I actually preferred the richness of Sarah's steak and spent most of the meal trying to steal it :) The sides were all delicious. The mash was creamy and full of flavour and the chips were seasoned with chilli powder not chilli con carne as we thought.<br />

Having previously eaten at Gaucho, Goodmans & STK, MASH is certainly up there with them on quality and service.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10615718998487241995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34642529350023587.post-23378684160517259782014-08-20T07:31:00.000-07:002014-10-02T08:25:06.409-07:00Tacutacu<div dir="ltr">
After conquering many of the London street food markets @tacutacu have taken up a six week residency in Casa Bleu just at the end of Brick Lane. We went along to try this place last night as a pre china celebration meal. Here's our little review....<br />
<br />
Firstly the bar casa Bleu is an interesting place. I would call it more of a cocktail bar than a pub. The decor could be describe as 'vintage'. The drinks menu is expensive for my liking with a draught beer costing £5 but I suppose you are paying for the location really. This kind of reflects in how busy the bar was (just the two of us to be precise).<br />
<br />
Below is a picture of the menu. We chose the white fish tacos, the duck tacos, 2 burgers, some fries and the haloumi sticks (fatty mcfat fats ).<br />
<br />

As always we arrived early and this meant that there was a bit of a wait on the food as the kitchen got up and running but the wait was worth it! The food came out at a decent pace and kept flowing! The fish tacos were seasoned to perfection and coated in a lovely light batter oh and the slaw to accompany it...well that was delicious! <br />
<br />

<br />
The duck and cheese tacos were also nice and a decent size however for us they needed some sauce to give it that vava boom but ulitmately we were waiting for our burgers to arrive! <br />

<br />
Unfortunately the shrimp burger wasnt prepped so we both had the 'Hot Havana' - 28 day aged beef blended with spicy chorizo topped with all sorts of delights including chipotle garlic mayo. The burger was really tasty, cooked medium rare and you could really taste the chorizo smokey meatiness running through! It is safe to say we smashed through both our burgers! Our only criticism was the bun which we were advised was due to the bakery he was using and would soon be rectified!<br />
We washed both our burgers down with a side of fries and some halloumi sticks which were both delicious and big portions for the price. We really liked the burger sauce which accompanied the chips and the paprika sprinkled on them was lovely.<br />

We have both been fans of Byron since moving to London, and even bigger fans of their specials. So here is a quick run down of some of them (this is in no particular order.....to begin with).<br />
<br />
I reckon a good place to start is the patties themselves. Each patty is made freshly from a good source of beef in Scotland. These are standardly cooked medium (however they will cook it how you like) and with love. Every Byron I have had (that's quite few) have been really juicy and flavoursome without being over seasoned.<br />

Served with chicharrones (pork scratchings) and Byron hot sauce on the side</em></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, New York CE, utopia, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.54px;">This little thing of beauty was released end of April 2014, and was totally different to any other Byron we had ever had and boy did we enjoy it. The smoked paprika ketchup with the crispy potatoes (which we weren't sure would work) took this burger to another level.</span></span><br />

Byron released this as a world cup special and it proved popular. However, for us this burger was just too big. This burger wasn't as juicy as burgers we have had in the past, and its sheer size made very hard work for the bun to actually hold it all together. Overall it did taste good and we do love crispy fried onions but this was not our favourite.</span></span></span><br />

This burger is c'est magnifique!!! (that's about as far as French goes for me) Le smokey is the most popular special that Byron have done and was my very first try of Byron. It is easy to see why this little guy has made it on to the menu full time. Le Smoky is packed full of flavour provided by the smoked cheese and smoked chili BBQ sauce. When you add the rest of the ingredients this burger becomes out of this world in both taste and texture.</span><br />

<i>As you can probably tell by the name this is the special for the run up to the festive period. This burger is basically a tribute to cheese. The patties themselvees were the usual Byron standard, however we were slightly dissappointed with the cheese element. Both of us like our cheese really quite strong, we found the cheese on the holy cheesemas alittle bland and it wasn't quite the cheese fest we were expecting.</i></div>

The decor was really fresh and spacious with a really large bar and some of the tables had a flame in the middle which was producing some serious heat (not needed with the current weather!) From start to end we were impressed and found the staff really friendly, smartly dressed and attentive and it was nice to see Francesco walking around - felt a bit sorry for the bread waitress though as she kept crashing the trolley as she wheeled it to peoples tables.<br />

Check out the bread and dip selection - absolutely delicious! We were able to select 3 breads to try accompanied with a fish, vegetarian and spicy dip. Our favourite bread was probably the olive bread however they were all great. Beware that you will have to pay for the bread.<br />

-Both starters were a decent size and very flavoursome. The carpaccio melted in the mouth and worked really well with the blue cheese. The tuna was beyond fresh but we felt it was slightly overpowered by the celery. Despite this the dish not unpleasant and was great for a summer evening.</div>

Calabrese & Sybarita<br />
- Both pizzas were on a great base with the right amount of crunch (around the edges)! The nduja one was by far our favourite with really fresh mozzarella and watercress helping cool the mouth down as nduja can be really spicy! The roast potato and italien sausage pizza were not what we were expecting at all. And in all honesty we did not enjoy it, the base was very soggy and it was very bland. We were left disappointed.</div>

We had a pretty good meal here despite some slight disappointments and encourage everyone to take a trip East to this eatery. After watching masterchef we would also love to go to L'anima restaurant and sample some more of Francesco's Italian classics!</div>
