Bacchus Pub and Kitchen, Hoxton

Bacchus Pub and Kitchen

After a few weeks off with a kitten and a trip to Asia, we picked up the Quest again at Hoxton's Bacchus.  Darren found this place with the help of our good friend, Google.

Joining us on the Quest today are Oscar and Darren.

After walking in the London Heatwave, we were very happy to arrive at this venue and enjoy its gentle air conditioning. The Roasts looked great.

We quickly settled in and reviewed the menu.

*Note: This was a bit of a lazy day- had we not liked this pub so much, we might not have bothered scoring.  

• The Staff was really enthusiastic about the food, and our waitress took very good care of us. (Franc)
• The Starter was great, the dessert was great, the beef was a little stringier that I'd have liked (Oscar)
• My first bite of beef nearly put me off (the stringy bit), but the rest of the meal made up for it. (Darren)
• The fish was nicely seasoned and well filleted. (Franc)
• The Sticky Toffee Pudding was a perfectly sized portion. (Franc)
• The music was a bit loud, and our request that it be turned down a bit was graciously accommodated.  (Darren)
• They even found some Leffe for Oscar!
• I got everything I asked for, delivered by cute waitresses! (Oscar)
