We both worked for valentines day. It actually worked out well because it meant we could go out for food the next night without having to share our evening with billions of other couples. So we celebrated valentines breakfast with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Then in the evening Barny had booked a table at St John Bread & Wine on Commercial Rd.
It was such a good choice, its kind of like a british Tapas. Everything was incredible and made from unusual cuts of meat, but cooked to absolute perfection. I was far too busy enjoying the food to remember to take pictures of it until we'd nearly finished.
The highlight for me was the breaded lamb cheek. Its was like some kind of Lamb escalope, the meat inside was pink but falling apart like it had been braised, but it was so moist. We also had a perfect slice of pork pie and piccalilli, a cuttlefish stewed with onions and lemon and (mouth melting) mutton chops. Everything was just perfect. I cannot recommend it more highly.
The only problem was I didn’t want it to end, I could have stayed there eating all night.
