We went for bottomless brunch at New Street Grill on a Saturday and were overall very pleased. The service was attentive and very polite, and they looked to accommodate anything we needed which was great. They made sure that our glasses were topped up consistently with water and prosecco and gave any advice we needed on the menu too. In terms of the food, it was very good in terms of the quality, but I thought that the quantity was really lacking, especially for the mains. The starters of chorizo scotch egg and asparagus with mozzarella and olive oil tasted delicious but the latter was really tiny in portion. The same went for the mains - a fishcake with poached egg and a piece of grilled chicken with greens were again very small in quantity which is disappointing when you're hungry for a good brunch. I really hope that next time we visit the quantity is a generous as the quality.
I do wonder how restaurants come up with their names. Some seem to make oblique reference to their chef proprietor. Others make innuendo to the type of food that they serve. Yet others make allusion to their location. Some, a combination of these all. Guess which way New Street Grill goes.

As a contributor to this fine blog that is The Boozy Bunch, I often get asked for recommendations for restaurants that do a well-priced, good quality brunch in London. In recent years this meal time has really taken off – it appeals to the trendy, hipster generation, the ladies who lunch club and those of us who frankly can’t be bothered to drag ourselves out of bed in time for breakfast on a weekend. Of course, a slightly later mealtime is now an even better excuse to combine brunch style menus with daytime drinking, so much so that London restaurants have exploded with a plethora of boozy brunch offerings for us cosmopolitan socialites. Especially at the weekend, it’s almost a pre-requisite for a successful restaurant to offer not just a brunch menu but a boozy brunch menu – those that are savvy enough to offer a temporarily unlimited supply of alcoholic sparkle are guaranteed to fill tables every Saturday & Sunday daytime. So since The Boozy Bunch bloggers kindled their friendships over unlimited boozy brunches, I was not surprised when my flatmate asked for me to pick a suitable restaurant to mimic this rather wonderful tradition for her birthday this year. Boozy Birthday Brunches, now that’s some attractive alliteration!
