Huge mussels
This place certainly stands out from the Old Compton campness and brings a much-needed relaxed sophistication to the area. I popped in last Sunday with a friend to have the infamous 'one last drink' before we headed home and to our surprise, a DJ was pumping some nice house tunes (and not the cheesy big vocal church house) and the crowd was jamming.
People were smiling, grooving in their chairs but not making an ass of themselves which is rare as we all know in London it's either one or the other.
I decided to pay a visit again last night with my flatmate after we left the bar and had a case of the booze munchies. The kitchen was open well past 11 on a Tuesday night, a weeknight rarity indeed, and everything was impeccable. Apart from stunning, our waitor was very friendly and quick and our food was just as great. We shared steamed mussels in a creamy white wine sauce which were served in a cast-iron dutch oven and were literally the size of my fist.
The recommended Voigner was just as great and so were our side dishes, hand-cut chips included. Bill came to just over £30 so bargain all around! Will definately go back and probably slip the waitor my number this time.
