Perhaps it was high expectations but the food at The English Pig was just bearable for the price. The 21 hour pork belly sounded amazing and did not disappoint. However, the starters were hit and miss - the sardines were over-salted to the level of inedible. My theory was that they were seasoned twice by mistake. At first, I thought my seabass was over-salted too but my first bite must have contained all the sea salt crystals. The rest of the fish was fine and went well with the roasted fennel. If you work in the Barbican area, by all means, pop in for a working lunch or a bite after work. But it's not a destination restaurant.
