sf.eater.com does an excellent job around here for recommendations and general restaurant news. Good site that.
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!
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.
Smallman1 If they have the skate wing as a special, you’d be a fool not to have that.
Smallman1 The Dover sole pisses all over the cod.
bosstrabs It’s probably what Jay Rayner had whilst he was there
One thing’s for sure, it’s going to cost me a few squid.
Oi oi!
vinnyt77 Ed Smallman’s a fool whether he has it or not.
Along_the_Wire The other acceptable main course to order. To be honest, I’m surprised Ed’s not planning to have the steak.
Can’t have the bearnaise sauce that comes with the Dover Sole.
Walk a mile in my shoes.
Smallman1 you’ll have the option of plain grilled too.
Things just got REAL interesting!
They do Rum Babas?
I went to Bocca di Lupo yesterday with my best mate who’s over from Puerto Rico - not seen him in two years.
Ate here last week.
Was mediocre. http://www.garlic-shanghai.com/ https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g308272-d3872568-Reviews-Garlic-Shanghai.html
Incredible food last night and a bottle of Raki that has me shooting lazers out of my eyes today. Molto bene.

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.
Sheeky’s was tremenballs.
Had a cracking afternoon in there.
Smallman1 Yes, yes, yes - but what did you order?
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!
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.
