It's called Pitt Cue


Here's the 2012 review

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/feb/12/jay-rayner-restaurant-pitt-cue



It started as a food truck and went on to become a restaurant of some high standing. In fact they led where others followed and have continued to break new ground.

(#amazeballs, I'm guilty of using such phrases to irritate my teenage son)


They did however pioneer the Pickle back thing, using good bourbon and home brewed picke juice. They made it fun (and gave you a massive hangover) and if you ate out in Soho on a regular basis, then this place was very special. Sadly the Soho site is now gone and they reside in a bigger and more commercially viable space Nr Liverpool Street. And the pickle backs are gone, as is the pulled pork.


The Chef/owner has taken a progressive step, by buying a farm and breeding and rearing his own beasts. He started 3 years ago with Mangalitza (the woolly ones) pigs and now has a herd of 160+. They new farm project has a herd of around 100+ Dexter cows. All for the supply to the restaurant, and for a guy who's about 30, I take my hat off to him.


Here's the 2016 review

Yes, Pitt Cue... that's the one. Yeah it was really good, very much my type of food. I just found the pickle back thing (and some of the other customers) a bit daft. The queue was dafter still.


New site sounds OK, but looking at the menu, might as well be a completely different restaurant. Also, appears to be only open during the week... so unlikely to try it any time soon...

I don't think they pioneered the pickleback thing. Possibly the first to do it in London, but it's been around in the states (Brooklyn) since 2006. According to wiki.

You don't drink it from the can, no?


NO!


I'm still getting over the jam jars with handles thing, especially the ones with a straw through the lid. I saw a grown man drinking out of one the other week.


He knew that I knew, that he looked a bit silly

You first take the fish and chips out though, right.


And then drink the beer?

Coffee that has no coffee in it. I'm increasingly coming round to the point of view that it's time to scrap the human race and start again from protozoa.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
