Please click below for the Stoke House Victoria Review Podcast. Recommended – the food was good and I like the carvery layout. The hot sides were good, but the cold sides were only ok.
I have mixed feelings about Plaquemine Lock. I like the idea of Creole & Cajun food but I found the implementation rather hit & miss. Some of the food was really great, others didn’t deliver, either on taste, but mostly on value. The cocktails were very good, and pretty good value. Pictures below, and if you have any thoughts please let me know on the form at the bottom.
This is a very small table for 4 people

Tamarind Kitchen is the new eatery from the Tamarind Collection. It is on Wardour Street in London and offers a more relaxed dining experience than the other restaurants in the group.
Listen to my review here!
I liked the food a lot, especially the Fish Curry, the Chicken Tikka Masala and all the lamb dishes. It is quite expensive, and while a great deal at half price, I would struggle to justify a trip at full price.
Pictures below – check out the amazing table and the desserts!

The Starters and Kababs – go for the Kababs as a starter.

Dessert Menu – look no further than the Chocolate Bomb!
My visit to Blacklock City was really good – service was a touch hit & miss, but they made up for that with the food. No shots of the starters I’m afraid.
The All In is the one to have
From Left to right: Eggs, Cheese & Chicken
A great pile of meat, just enough for 3 people – delicious and beautifully cooked!
The chips were lovely & crispy and came nicely salted & vinegared
What you can’t see is that the bowl is about 6 inches deep! In my defence, I at least tried the rhubarb, which I still don’t like…
