ROASTS ◆
The Grafton
KENTISH TOWN
Former winner of the British
pub of the year award,
and part of the Hippo Inns
family, this traditional
Victorian pub is the perfect
place for a hearty meal on a
crisp winter Sunday. There
was jazz music playing and
the horse shoe-style bar had
beautiful Victorian décor
tiles. The rest of the pub
felt very old-school - with
no-frills furniture but had a
buzzy atmosphere and the
crowd was a mix of young
hipsters, cross generational
families and tourists.
Although my partner and
I were here for the roasts,
we were easily tempted by
the starters. I tucked into the
chicken liver pâté: smooth
and velvety in flavour that
balanced a tart red onion
pickle and peppery rocket
salad. My dining companion
had the New England thick
and creamy clam chowder
with bacon (optional) and
fresh chunky veg (potato
and sweetcorn).
For a meat eater's main I
would recommend the Angus
beef with horseradish cream
sauce. It arrived just the
right shade of pink and
was tender and medium
rare to taste. A drizzle of the
horseradish
enhanced it.
My partner devoured a
very moist and spiced falafel
roast with vegan gravy
(non veggie and veggie
options available, too).
The falafel had an Indiameets-Middle-East fusion
of spices, and ingredients
included pumpkins, carrots,
chickpeas, lentils and pulses
- it went down very well.
Both mains came with
kale, carrots, parsnips,
roast potatoes and a giant
Yorkshire pudding, all with
red wine gravy.
For sweet-toothed people,
the cleverly spiced sticky
toffee pudding with dates
and a hint of cinnamon won't
disappoint. It came with
a divine chocolate and vanilla
ice-cream. Another must is
the chocolate fondant
pudding: moist and oozing
with sauce, offset with a
thick raspberry jam-like
coulis that complemented
the intense chocolate flavour,
also served with a vanilla
caramel ice cream. Joyful!
