IMHO Kelly's Roman Road is 3rd


Worked there in the 90s... IIRC there were two of em then...?

The other one's long gone, also 2 in Bethnal Green Road which are not great.

Chewy,

Nice looking grub as alway, try eggs, bacon and scallops with black pepper and vinegar, couple of slices of brown bread it a nice plate of food. Jellied Eels are not my bag but I quite like stewed Eels with my Pie and Mash sometimes.

...my usual Tandoori Madras, with Mushroom Pilau

Looks excellent, Chewy! A veritable BIR colour palette just begging to be eaten! :)

I saw this dish - Fegato alla Veneziana or Calf's Liver and Onions - cooked on a recent episode of Rick Stein's Venice to Istanbul series. I like a nice bit of liver, but I can't remember the last time I had some - probably before the BSE outbreak, I suppose.

Anyway, pressing on, I bought some nice veal's liver and cooked the dish, accompanied by Stein's suggestion of Parmesan Polenta. Very nice, indeed! This was the first time ever I'd tried polenta, and it turned out a little runny. Still tasty though, but I'll do better next time!

I won't leave it so long for my next piece of tender liver and onions! :)

Sounds brilliant! You'll want a robust red to accompany that, I imagine! :)

Now that is a fine plate of pie mash and liquor London  :-*.  Far better portion wise than that i got in Leytonstone on Friday.  Will put Robins on the radar for sure.
Nothing wrong with lead belly feeling CT.  That's how i felt after stuffing myself with my bangers and mash the other day  ;D  Absolutely delicious.
That tandoori madras looks tasty.  I'm sure i'll enjoy my vindaloo left overs just as much though with a couple of poppuds  :)
Had Polenta once Naga, pretty subtle tasting stuff but fills the belly.  I'm afraid i'd have to pass on the liver in any shape or form  :o. One man's meat and all that  ;D
As for the scallops, two maybe three of them and i'd be done.  I find them very rich.  Nice combo though.  Upmarket full English  :D

There's a secret- ask for two pie and mash rather than one :D   ::)

CH,

I think the pies served at Leytonstone are on the small side, the biggest pies are from Cooke's in Broadway Market. Let me know what you think of Robin's. If you get the chance try Manzie's in Walthamstow as the decor is superb and the pies are nice as well.
