St George's Day

We had to celebrate St George's Day with British food. I decreed it so. It was only halfway through our search for a suitable pub that I realised we should be finding a curry joint, tucking into a tikka masala while working out who George was and if dragons really exist? Too many pubs had the ubiquitous nachos and jacket potatoes. However word on the street, or Time Out, pointed us in the direction of the Princess Louise in Holborn, down the road from us. The restaurant upstairs could have done with some tunes but had a nice, loungey feel decked out with portraits of Princess Louise. Who was Princess Louise? Not sure, but there was plenty of British on the menu. Tick.

Lancashire hot pot for Dani didn't have enough lamb but was still tasty, and my beef suet pudding was delicious, both served with mustard mash and vegies. Mmm, suet. Served with a Smith's wheat beer. Cheers, England!
