Mr Red BS: Restaurant Reviews (67* d) RE: BS: Restaurant Reviews 29 Aug 18


On a rare family gathering we were over-persuaded to go to the Crown in Bray** (because it had better food!).
So I checked the menu. They had a Sunday menu which differed not a jot from Sat or Mon-Fri. And it turned-out to be out of date by the time we were there. Lots of twee names and nothing was just pork or beef. And only one thing I remotely wanted to eat. This is not unusual. So I chose a ploughmans' Lunch and the only thing cooked was the sausage roll and what they put in the meat was not listed (or eaten). Served on wooden platters, which (see below) looked well scrubbed.

I knew what to expect as this was a "Fat Duck" restaurant. To my credit I resisted the temptation to add when ordering "Hold the poison" - I like to be somewhat less predictable. (for those not familiar, it is owned by Heston Blumenthal a celebrity chef who specialises in really bizarre pairings of tastes and one day his clients went down with serious food poisoning)

**the Crown at Bray (twee names throughout) but very presentable and well organised. And pricey. And not the swankiest pub in town - the Roux Brothers own the one by the river.
