Fabulous dinner, fabulous service. You can't go wrong here and u must try the "weetbix" ice cream! The white chocolate and apricot ice cream is pretty good too!
Last week we finally picked up the keys to our first house in London. It has been a few months of a lot of stress, but it has all been worth it in the end! . After picking up the keys, we thought we’d try out a local pub/restaurant for dinner. We don’t know Tooting very well yet, so it’s exciting to be able to explore a new area and find out what culinary treats it has in store. So far I’ve only been to Chicken Shop, which I wrote about previously here.

A qualified yes. This is nice place. Its also a huge place.
A series of large rooms which seem to go on and on.
As such it was easy to find a table, they'll serve you anywhere it seems. Which while great, makes you wonder how that works in practice (ie when there are a lot of people ordering at once - sunday lunch etc).
We were there on a thursday evening, it was quite quiet and we were keen for three courses.
Interestingly there a series of reasonably challenging main courses and the obvious Rib Eye steak. the only thing to sell out. Not very adventous folk in Tooting or an appraisal of the rest of the menu?
Chose the Cod. Absolutely beautiful. Superb piece of fish beautifully cooked.
Desert was home made, I had Lemon Meringue (average), HungryBen went with the chocolate pot which on ordering was met with what we later realised was an oppology for what was to arrive. Chocolate sauce, not even slightly set. It was removed without debate (from our sight and from the bill).
The starter incidently? wholely unremarkable and by the numbers.
What to say about this place. Its by Atic, the people behind a host of such London Boozers including balham Bowls club and the Tramshed.
This place looks like an independant start up, well intentioned with a few processes to be alighned, if viewed like that its an ok meal. It wasn't cheap.
If viewed as a latest offering from an established chain, your view might be slightly different.
I'll go with the former view. Worth a second look.
