Hawksmoor Steak

Steak is their Speciality.

They have English, French and wholegrain mustard and horseradish but you. Have to ask for it.

Muscat not sweet enough for me.

Delightful, Delicious Dessert - Pavlova

Pavlova pastry was delightful. Good to look at. Strong, dramatic, delicious taste of black cherry.

Chocolate looked good. At the last, no real chocolate flavou. Like confectioners' chocolate or Hersheys which was created to not melt in summer tropics in the pockets and hands of wartime soldiers, so it was made waxy with oily ingredients instead of melting milk. I am a British Cadbury's fan.

Pavlova? A small piece of solid, hidden underneath, white meringue. The Australian and New Zealand summer favourite with summer fruit, with summer being December, which is winter in England. Yes. But in England the fruit in winter is traditionally preserved, the dried currants and sultanas in Xmas pudding and cake, dried dates. Here you have preserved cherries, their flavour intensified. 

Altogether Impressive looking. 

As Shakespeare said, all's well that ends well.

My husband is a huge fan of Hawksmoor.

Wrapped toothpick.

Getting there

From Stanmore station on the Jubilee, with no changes.
