The legend of the Wimbledon 8.
This was a drinking game often played by the great actor Oliver Reed.
The game involves drinking 1 pint within 15 minutes then running to the next pub. There are 8 pubs all around the Wimbledon area.
One sunny August afternoon, a couple of friends and myself decided to try this... After several hours of drinking we decided to soak up the alcohol with some of the local delicacies...
First Impressions :
Open plan restaurant with easy access to escape if you want to do a runner!
I'm not a fan of the Harrison Birtwistle menu that belongs on the south bank for 20th century classical season!
A selection of bad English chart music is playing loudly throughout the room...
Starters :
We are treated to stale Papadums and the dreaded flat Bhajis. The sauces on the pickle tray taste more like Mexican cuisine....
Mains:
The Lamb Pasanda is tender, but bland.
You need a microscope to see the Chicken Tandoori Tika... This is also accompanied by a separate bland sauce.
To make up for this, a truck load of rice arrives! The naan is merely ok..
The Verdict :
Not a great restaurant. Below par food.
Likely to dine here :
Jacob Collier and Simon Cowell.
