The Harwood Arms, London



This gastropub in Fulham has been awarded one Michelin star. Although, the surroundings are unassuming and casual, don't be fooled. The food was good...very good. You do have to bear with the pub-like atmosphere and noise but hey, it's a pub. Albeit, one that does posh nosh. When we arrived around 7-ish, we were not given menus. They were still printing them up! All the food we had - such as a Cornish crab salad with apple and pickled sea purlane or the rhubarb donuts with sour cream were great but award for the most succcessful dish of the evening has to go to Paul's roe deer served 3 ways. Observe chops, crispy shoulder and Cumberland sausage of roe deer served with pickled red cabbage/field mushrooms and garlic mushrooms. There is also a little pot of mustard. Apparently, the owner chef goes hunting for the deer himself. A rustic meat and potato lover's dish!
