Can't argue with that description at all.

Cheese. Batter. Fried. It's a holy trinity of awesome.

Not however, for me when out for a meal.

So, our local and awesome Chinese, is shut, due to the Chinese New Year for the next 2 weeks, which considering this is hopefully our last or second last weekend in this house, slightly gutting. I don't think they're away working out how to pay for Hull City AFC just in case anyone is interested.

So, the wife has demanded I take her to the Brampton Mill, which is a fab, but expensive local restaurant.

Probably a little too posh for a lot of you on here, but I wondered, given these options for main course, what would you go for and why?

I normally go for the steak or the lamb there, always excellent, but I'm thinking about trying the Wagyu Burger, as I've heard awesome things about Wagyu beef. Is it really that good?

Where's the donner meat and chips option?
 
Against my better judgement went for the Wagyu Burger.

****ing awesome. Moist. Tasty. Just beautiful.

Portobello mushrooms starter. Awesome.

Raspberry creme brûlée. Awesome.

Great meal that.

I made turkey meatballs with chipotle paste, in a tomato sauce with black beans. Lush.

Blimey. Rarely go into Huntingdon, unless it's to the Falcon, but yeah, gonna try that before we move, so cheers.

There's a few Turks in this area, and their restaurants are amazing. Even the chippy over the road from us at the mo is run by Turks, and their kebabs are the proper job, not the usual high street type ****e you see.

Dunno if you remember PIzza Town, but the owner of that, Alex, opened a place up near the one you mention above about 3 years ago, his food is frigging awesome, a world away from the pizza shop, which tbh, was a good takeaway in any case.

Posh? It'd be first stop after the dole queue around here with prices like that.

Although to answer your question it'd be the duck leg or fillet. Sweet potato chips are amazing so i think I'd swing towards duck leg. Be better if it was duck breast but I guess it would price out their target clientele.

I didn't know what it was either but last week we went to a pub/restaurant and my step daughter ordered it and it looked fantastic. I had wagyu beefburger and as OLM pointed out about the burgers I wasn't impressed. But then again the burger only cost about £12.
I'm an expert at cheap food with having Starbucks, Frankie & Benny's, Nando's, Bella Italia, Pizza Hut, KFC, Burger King, Marks & Spencer & Sainsburys all within walking distance. The culinary delights of Wimbledon and Tooting are only a short car ride away.
