New restaurant

Recommended Posts

I only remember 3 mains - two meat, one fish. So veg options don't look great on the face of it, although I dare say they could rustle up something nice if you asked. Probably best to go in and speak with them. Prices were along the lines of ?5-?8 for starters, ?15-?20 for mains. Nothing serious to iron out, other than minor first night hitches.
We clearly went to a different restaurant. Mastery of style over substance. Will try again in a month or two when it has had time to settle in. I'd rather they focused on seasoning and flavouring their dishes than making their own butter. Although the wine list was very good and the staff were lovely. We went for fish and chips afterwards, it was lovely.

If it was only a 'very short menu' and there were only 3 mains, that's more than entirely plausible. You order the lot and try it all. And why not? I'm willing to give BeksLP some slack here.

Agreed. We ate on Saturday evening and will go back. The pork was perfectly cooked, pink and very moist (no water bath used here) and tasted the right amount of pig. Langoustines were done just enough, and were sweet. The homemade soft cheese with dill and onions, which came unordered, was delicious; sweet and creamy and, unsurprisingly, like very good ricotta. Other dishes were as good. I think this is very good, precise, and ambitious cooking, and not expensive.

The wine list is impressive, at all levels. We drank Muscadet from the tank and then Testalonga Chenin from SA. Mark-ups are much less punchy than they could be. Staff were all very friendly and the feel is good.

The only downside was that the atmosphere in the tank room is a bit flat at the moment, but it is early days. Look forward to toast getting better and better. Why wouldn't you like a restaurant like this in your neighbourhood?

I might have the wrong end of the stick, but isn't one of the advantages of cooking sous vide that it promotes moisture retention in food?

It's good that's there's a bit of competition with the restaurant scene in LL. I love Franklins but it can be a bit samey and the palm can also be a bit predictable so I'm looking forward to trying some toast. Be great if a real name came in as well. Perhaps Nico will come back to the Lane? Eric as his sous chef?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
