Randomness Guide to London Menu

Pub near Regents Park, serving tapas all day plus gastropub food at lunchtimes and evenings. The decor is shabby-chic standard-gastro photo.

Kake visited on a Monday afternoon in April 2009. It was empty when I arrived a little after 4pm, but when I left an hour later there were a couple of dozen people in despite it being right at the start of the week. Music was playing — reggae, Pink Floyd, instrumental jazz — though not too loud. Beers available were Adnams Bitter (£1.40/half) and Marston Pedigree.

They do gastropub-type food photo of menu as of April 2009 at lunchtimes and evenings (and there's a restaurant upstairs if you don't want to eat in the pub part), plus tapas all day photo of tapas menu.

I was planning to eat dinner elsewhere, so only tried one of the tapas dishes; they had no problem with me ordering just a single item, which suggests this might be a good stop for a tapas crawl. I went for the paprika pork belly skewers (£4) photo; these were fine, fairly moist, and tasty enough, with a reasonable tahini sauce on the side.

Kake's verdict: I'd come back. The Food And Drink In London review linked below recommends their soupe de poisson, and I do hope it's on the menu next time I come here. I also note that their website advertises a cocktail menu including amaretto sour, which I'm keen to try as I've never had one in a bar as good as the ones I make myself.
