This week’s adventure was a bit of an impromptu one. Nick planned it Friday night, after spending the entire night at the venue with Saul, and letting us know the target pub Saturday morning quite late, as he had a hangover. He booked it, and on his head be it. Now, according to the interweb […]
COCK and BULL fortnight part one. We had planned COCK MONTH, when we would only go to pubs with COCK in the name. It is bawdy, very Carry On Questing (Oooo, Matron and all that) but occasionally we are allowed a laugh. And this theme seemed to tickle quite a few people’s fancy. (Oooo, I say! […]
Choosing this week’s venue, planning and booking was entrusted to Simone and David and they came up with Red Lion and Sun in Highgate Village near Hampstead Heath, not to be mistaken for the Red Lion and Sun Society of Iran, a precursor to the Red Crescent (the Muslim Red Cross) that looks after wounded […]
This week we went in search of a cheap and cheerful alternative to the gastropub roasts we have been dining on each and every Sunday in duck egg blue surroundings. Doggets, a truly gruesome looking monstrosity on the south side of Blackfriars Bridge was Sue’s favourite but, due to laziness of the locals, we decided […]
This week we headed to The Albion in Islington, a well thought of pub, and local for newcomers David and Simone, as well as a pre- Number 10 Tony Blair. Joining us this week are old hands Roland, and Vera with baby Bethany, and virgin local questers Lindy, Jon and Jenn. Now before we get […]
This weekend’s stop was Islington’s The Draper’s Arms. Selected by Darren, after discovering it in his The Gastro Pub Cookbook by Diana Henry. He hasn’t actually cooked anything from this book yet, but we hoped this trip might inspire him. The pub’s menu’s change daily, and one may view today’s here. Joining us on the […]
After a few weeks off with a kitten and a trip to Asia, we picked up the Quest again at Hoxton’s Bacchus. Darren found this place with the help of our good friend, Google. Joining us on the Quest today are Oscar and Darren. After walking in the London Heatwave, we were very happy to arrive at this venue and […]
After a few roast-less weeks, we return to the Quest with a visit to Islington’s The Duke of Cambridge, an eco-friendly, organic pub near the Angel tube stop. Our 1330 reservation was well timed, and we arrived to find everything ready for us, including a delicious snack of fresh bread and olive oil. Joining us […]
