A boozy Sunday brunch has long been a New York institution but slowly its making its way across the pond. I love a good 'sunday session' - you really can't get a better Sunday than an afternoon of eating, drinking and catching up with friends in London and I've now found the perfect place to do it.
Over
in Covent Garden, the people behind Bone Daddies have really hit the
nail on the head with Flesh & Buns and their Sunday Brunch offer.
For £39/46 you get to choose unlimited small dishes from their set menu
(the more expensive option gives you access to both menus), a choice of
'flesh & buns' for your main course and dessert - plus unlimited
red/wine wine or prosecco.
Fried salt and pepper squid – addictive and probably my
favourite dish….
Being the fine (read:
greedy) eaters we are, Tom & I went for the £46 option so we could
sample as many dishes on the menu as possible. ‘CHIPS & DIPS’ came up first
– like a Japanese nachos! Rice crackers served with avocado shiso (like a
guacamole) and a tomato jalapeno relish followed by a bowl of miso soup each.
Fried salt and pepper squid – addictive and probably my
favourite dish….
Soon softshell crab, spicy tuna rolls, California
rolls and edamame appeared….
The Korean fried wings (delicious) and chicken yakitori
(didn’t really do it for me) were eaten before I even got a chance to photograph
them! By this time, my waistline was bulging and I was getting a bit tipsy from
the Prosecco! The waitors whirl around you topping your glass up constantly and
you’re welcome to reload the dishes as many times as you like – but bear in
mind you still have two more courses to come! Once we'd admitted defeat our 'flesh and buns were brought over'
Pork belly being my favourite dish, I went for the piglet belly with mustard miso sauce and pickled apple – oh, my god.
Look at those buns! It was like eating a meaty cloud….
Top tip, save room
for pudding (easier said than done)….DIY SMORES! Complete with your own little
fire….
I
had such a fun afternoon – the food is incredible, the atmosphere is relaxed
and lively and it’s brilliant value for money! Get yourself down there, you’ll
love it!
