Smallman1 Some good options here - https://london.eater.com/maps/best-sunday-roast-london-restaurants-pubs
jonattonyeah Smallman1 sf.eater.com does an excellent job around here for recommendations and general restaurant news. Good site that.
Smallman1 Here’s what I’m having at Sheeky’s - Sticky Tiger Prawns jalapeño, garlic & lime Followed by - Fillet of Cod char-grilled squid, borlotti bean & artichoke vinaigrette I can’t wait!
bosstrabs Smallman1 LOL @ Smallman picking from the menu before he even shows up at the gaff. Like an excitable 19 year old girl being taken on her first date to a Trip Advisor recommended trattoria. Twat.
vinnyt77 Along_the_Wire The other acceptable main course to order. To be honest, I’m surprised Ed’s not planning to have the steak.
Along_the_Wire I went to Bocca di Lupo yesterday with my best mate who’s over from Puerto Rico - not seen him in two years.
bosstrabs Ate here last week. Was mediocre. http://www.garlic-shanghai.com/ https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g308272-d3872568-Reviews-Garlic-Shanghai.html
LT42 Incredible food last night and a bottle of Raki that has me shooting lazers out of my eyes today. Molto bene.
jonattonyeah LT42 What’s Raki like? Ouzo? One our reps was trying to get us to buy a few bottles a few months back but having an extensive spirit list (other than American whiskeys) isn’t our thing.
Smallman1 vinnyt77 Yes, yes, yes - but what did you order? Just popping out to see Dj Harvey and Donato Dozzy, will report back when I’m back. Hold tight for feedback!
LT42 jonattonyeah I’ve seen people comparing it to Ouzo but other than being a clear vodka type spirit, there’s no real comparison. A good Raki like Tekirdağ or Boğaziçi with the right amount of water and ice is great. Yeni Raki is the more expensive one but I’m not a fan as its too sweet and the aniseed flavour is too strong. I remember Mategreen on Bedrock saying they drank Raki with cola. I can’t really explain how ridiculous that is other than it’s akin to stirring cuppa soup granules into a Guinness. Wherever they were doing that I reckon they were well out of view of civilised people. Its really only drank with food, mainly seafood and mezze. It wouldn’t be a bar thing really.
