After a long long, hard hard day of work G suggested we meet for a couple of pints - I was dead keen. The motivation came from both independantly noticing a shelled out warehouse down the road from us that seemed to be full of people drinking. We couldn't find any reference to this place on the whole of the internet thus intriguing us further.
Once I discovered it's name I did in fact find one reference describing it as a Traditional British Pub.....with a modern twist. Turns out the modern twist was so twisted it in fact bore no relationship to any Traditional British Pub I've read about or seen in movies. I would describe it more as wank and swank.
Next door to this wank and swank though was a magical deli wonderland of our dreams. After wandering around this place for a while....and dropping some coin....we decided to go back to the bar to celebrate our discovery with more beer and some food.
We quickly decided on two cheese burgers and a shoulder of lamb....no side vegetables thank you very much. Good stuff. G thought the lamb would have gone well with a side of gravy but certainly the squeeze of lemon was satisfying enough. The cheeseburger.....close to the best I've ever had. Even the brioche bun wasn't too sweet and offensive.
After our inital disappointment I feel like we'll be back here every time we shop at the deli wonderland.....ongoing celebration of discovery you see.

Funny thing about this dinner is that vegetables cost extra so we had no vegetables. The thing I liked best about the lamb shoulder is that it was small and tender - like it may actually have come from a lamb rather than mutton passed off as lamb. Cheese burgers are an excellent side dish for lamb shoulder if you're ever stuck for ideas.
