You Southern weirdo's don't even sell gravy in your chippies though. Or is that just London? 

 

We look out for each other in London and have created a network of like minded folk who keep each other updated if they find it…

That ratio is absolutely shocking. Eight deep fried potato emporiums selling gravy in the whole of London???  

 

I say we take off an nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Yep, it’s utterly bizarre, weird liquor eating, cockknee bellends.

 

First weekend I was in London after moving down here I went for a roast in a boozer near the flat I was living in.

 

Brian Blessed is sat holding court in a corner.

 

I order a roast, it arrives, no gravy.

 

Now if heard the rumours, but obviously didn’t think it extended to roasts as well.

 

I sit in despair and despondency for a few minutes, questioning my life choices, all the while Brian Blessed is booming out over my depression.

 

I finally pick up the courage ‘Excuse me, waiter, do you really not serve gravy in London?’ 
 

‘Ah, sorry guv, musta forgotten, I’ll go get you a jug’

 

With my gravy, roast and Brian Blessed regaling all with fantastical stories I decided not to pack up my rucksake and give London a go.

 

Fuck me, that’s well over a decade ago now…

No, I still need to try this. We tend to have curry sauce in the missing space on the menu.

Thank God that had a happy ending, as i was getting hugely irritated by the start of it. I mean, as much as i find the lack of gravy available to put on chips utterly incomprehensible, not having it on a roast is a hanging offence.

There should always be the option to choose between both.  They shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

Out for the wife’s birthday. Nice food but remortgage now required. 
 

Pasta as a starter. 

Edit: The other two were a steak and a chocolate brownie with ice cream.

This evening, a beautiful ribeye from my local butcher, broccoli and cherry toms done in the griddle pan with the steak. Mushrooms sautéed with garlic and finished with parsley and a smidge of chilli flakes.

 

Forgot to photograph it cooked. Midway through a bottle of Shiraz; raising each glass to a certain señor Nunez. Had worse evenings.

The Two Chairman Pub in Westminster. I used to frequent this place, on occasion, in another life. Not been in years though. 
 

Decent pub grub.  No more, no less.

And the award for the most pointless piece of lettuce ever goes to …… that’s actually a fucking insult that. I reckon the chef recognised you so wiped his arse on it. I’ll let Tony deal with the plate. 
 

What was in the pie?

Steak and Ale. It was decent, needed the gravy though as the pastry was very thick and a tad dry. 

[TheHowieLama]

needed MORE gravy

Vegan meatballs tonight
