Not an area of London that I frequent much, but ended up here last night to belatedly celebrate a colleague's birthday.

Have to say it looks much like other gastro pubs, in the mis-matched wooden chairs and tables. The menu apparently changes daily though punters also have the option to choose from the Tapas menu as well.

We had a mixture of starters, some off the tapas menu, like the smoked aubergine dip (very garlicky!) and Italian cured meats to the mozzerella & tomato salad. We were all boring with our mains, in that we all had the same, the fish broth, full of clams, mussels, prawns, and a lone razor clam. Obviously a popular dish as we weren't the only ones partaking.

The service at times was a little slow, but couldn't honestly fault the food.

Wines list was decent and reasonably priced. My colleagues pint of bitter was a bit off, but they soon swapped it for one from a fresh barrel. We forewent the puddings, as we were all stuffed, but they did sound nice.

Very pleasant evening in equally pleasant surroundings.
