32 Great Queen St

This is a great little restaurant run by the Hope and Anchor bods.

It is a New British restaurant, borrowing a certain simple chicness from the French rustic cafe in it's decor of thick bare wooden tables and short Duralex tumblers for its wine. The walls are blood red, the waiters are knowledgeable and friendly. All of it designed to be an appealing background to the real star, the food.

The menu is single A4 page focussing on a few good ingredients offered in a multiple of ways. For example, if they have good beef (it is ALWAYS good beef) it will be offered in two steaks and maybe also a pie.

When I went in a party of 4, we had pigeon ham, razorclams, fish stew and two different mains of beef. All really, really, good, cooked simply to allow the excellent ingredients to shine. Lovely.
