So, that belated Cowshed review. It was an ace night, whereupon @unionhotel insisted rather fiercely on footing the bill. I think its the first time Iāve not felt like a parent at a restaurant for 20 years.
Best steak Iāve had outside the US. Lovely cosy atmosphere, still half full on a Tuesday. All the sides were decent and complemented the menu well. The staff didnāt show any obvious sneering or pity when I asked for a medium (they recommend nearly everything medium rare, which is normally a good thing).
Itās at the top of Seel St, if youāre ever in Liverpool. Always do the sensible thing and check recent reviews on TripAdvisor thoā.
So my impromptu Thursday night out in Soho with old mates was lovely. My old flat mate is a bit of a foodie. She took us to Freak Scene. Their website describes it as curious Asian plates. Itās in an old tapas place so you sit around the bar and share plates. I had the veggie plates and god it was some of the best food Iāve ever had. Everyone raved about the meat dishes for you carnivores. Defo book ahead place but well worth it. Not ridiculously expensive given the head chef used to work at Nobu and the food was exceptional.
Went to Maxās Italian restaurant in Oxford Street last night. Simple italian food done pretty well. Good service and yummy wine. I recommend. Went to Heartbreakers for a drink after and discovered the best rum old fashioned in town. Made perfectly with Diplomatico Reserva. Just gotta check bank statement now to see how much I spent
Went to Ye Olde George in East Meon yesterday evening to celebrate my seventh wedding anniversary. Lovely pub, excellent food. Would recommend it very highly.
My local Italian has just been closed down for owing Ā£30,000 electric bill, Iām staggered as it was always busy and its sister one in Chester equally so, best pint of peroni Iāve had, gutted.
I have been twice this week to a local indian called 29029 which bills itself as Conmtemporary Indian and Nepalese Cuisine. You can see where they got their name fromā¦
Slightly pricey but the food was delcious. Thereās also one in Sandford on the way to Wareham, well worth a visit if youāre in the area.
I just cooked a piece of beef as per previous discussions for 24 hours at about 80c put some seasoning on the outside and covered in tin foil.
It was absolutely bloody lovely. I had people coming in whilst cooking it it will be overcooked ect. It was not just a nice piece of tender beef with lots of flavour
