I'm wondering whether or not the Union Tavern is to be considered as a Gastro Pub or just a pub? I would lean more towards the gastro side for the following reasons. It has a lot of tables with bottles of wine for being just a simple pub. But it's the food that makes it different.

The food has an international slant to it, for example my starter dish was a kind of bruschetta with some chorizo, halloumi, rocket salad and tomatoes (picture). I was very happily surprised both by the quality ingredients used this starter dish but also how well they all mixed. Feeling very happy to the beginning of this experience I looked forward to my lamb steak with fries. As you can see by the picture the large lamb steak does look quite appetizing. Whilst it was pretty well cooked and the fries where tasty and crispy it wasn't enough to set it apart as being very good.

For dessert I had a creme bruler that wasn't quite what I'm used to (I'm French) but wasn't bad. The Union Tavern has a lunch menu for £6.95 which includes a starter and a main dish. At that price it's a real bargain even if I had to add an extra £4 for the lamb steak. Will be coming back again]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 00:43:27 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1j8127d/union-tavern/1u95371849839060 walid 51.526196370984 -0.11444673538523
