Food

Went to Palomar in Chinatown the other night = GOOD

Who is taking over the Chesham Arms?

Randomly, I met Steve, the ex-owner of the Coach and Horses the other day. Was at dinner with him and he mentioned he was an ex-publican. After a bit of back and forth, we worked out that we must have met many years ago at his pub. He has fond memories of Mondays with the lfgss crowd. He namechecked Corny, Hillybilly, Teenslain etc.

Went to Foxlow's new restaurant in Stokey on Monday evening with @cake

Their smokestack mary cocktail is pretty beasty, spicy bloody mary made with gin and scotch instead of vodka.

Shortrib was off the chain.

Ha, if you boys are serious I'll be around West Dulwich/Le Reej tomorrow afternoon 3-4pm and will happily share my gluttony.

Both breads (channa and some soft brioche in a pot) and the pate bruschetta from the starters, the lamb kebab, polenta, octopus and pork belly from the mains, and the Jerusalem mess, halva brownie and the birds nest stuff from the puds, ALL AMAZE

The shire? I'm not Bilbo Baggins m8!

Try hoo hing either in Leytonstone or colliers wood. Both have cafe that do dim sum and buns that is really good.

Also try see woo on greenwich peninsula.

Careful what you promise.... I live just down the road from there and am free at that time!

teh shire - where i am, down a burrow...

right, palomar booked :)

not srs, watch out for @jim1985 tho!

It's all about the polenta

And the sweetbreads.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but anyone been here yet?

Am intrigued as to how small the portions are and whether you end up just needing to get about 5 things, making the bill the same as your typical (ish)£5 London lunch. Also wonder what kind of quality the ingredients are...

Re: bbq/picnic/cook-off

See I didn't know all of that, a pub with a beer garden owned by one fellow lfgss-er. But I agree, when you put together so many good things it's hard for it to go wrong. I'd definitely be there cooking/grilling/sharing food brought from home whatever (except with @jim1985, unless he decides to talk to me).

When is this pal going to take over the Chesham Arms? This could be well coordinated and work as a good kickoff/reopening event for him as well.. Can someone "@" him so he's part of the conversation?
