Restaurant Review: Why anyone would drop £50 at Factory on three courses and a couple of glasses of wine, when there are branches of steak restaurants Gaucho and Hawksmoor nearby, is a baffling mystery.

The Victorian industrial shtick is laid on with a trowel in everything from the interior – exposed venting, girders, pipework, lots of broken clocks, pressure gauges and artwork that includes an oil painting of a stern-looking Victorian patriarch sporting lavish facial furniture– to the menu (sorry, make that the ‘Provender, etc’) – a pink, tabloid-sized helping of newsprint littered with Heath Robinson-style illustrations and archaic diction.

A return trip at dinner to sample a steak from its ‘Grillsmith’ begins with a fussily presented piece of poached sea trout that is close to raw in the centre.

Why anyone would drop £50 here on three courses and a couple of glasses of wine, when there are branches of steak restaurants Gaucho and Hawksmoor nearby, is a baffling mystery.

Rare are the occasions when this job feels like hard work but as I punched out on that old time clock, it felt like I’d really put a proper shift in.

The Factory House is a new concept bar and restaurant at Leadenhall Market in London inspired by the creativity, craftsmanship and discoveries of the Victorian times.

The menu is quintessentially British at this 180 covers restaurant but full of surprises and signature features, revitalising classic recipes.

If you want to visit The Factory House in the City of London only for drinks you can enjoy the experimental spirit by sipping your way through the magnificent cocktail list.

The bar is copper coated and walls are garnished with antique train station clocks.

The Factory House Bar in London is something a little different, whether for food or as a watering hole with exquisite cocktails, because of its cool interior concept.

Fancy Crab Restaurant Review

Review analysis
food   value   menu  

Fortunately for all concerned, King Crabs freeze very well — they suffer from little of the chewiness or wooliness that can afflict frozen lobster, and lose none of their distinct meaty sweetness.

And so the idea is that Fancy Crab can use the cheaper frozen product, cooked and frozen on the factory ships straight after they’re hauled out of the water, to offer this premium animal to hungry Londoners without the extortionate costs associated with keeping, and cooking live crabs.

Doing the maths is difficult, as Beast charge £18 for 100g of crab with a minimum order of 400g, and Fancy Crab charge per joint of leg, with the ‘Merus’ £23 (the largest part of the leg), the ‘Rose’ £17 (the knuckle where the leg meets the body), and £14 for the ‘Carpus’ (the lower portion of the leg up to the tip).

So if you order all 3 bits of leg from Fancy Crab it would cost £56, and only £72 for 400g from Beast, which seems odd, considering that at Beast the animals are cooked from live.

On the other hand, an entire crab at Fancy Crab is £89/kilo, and it’s £120/kilo at Beast, and with each animal usually 3–4kg that’s quite a saving on the frozen product.

Bling meets brains is the formula for success at this prestigious Park Lane hotel.

The rooftop spa, with views of Hyde Park, is not to be missed.

Restaurant review: The Factory House | Life and style | The Guardian

The overworked concept of the Factory House gets on your nerves.

Meal for two, including wine and service: £90 The Factory House is one of the most irritating London restaurant launches of the past five years – an achievement given the stupidities of this city.

From its skull-crushingly tiresome slogan – "A refuge for the modern day industrialist" – through the clocking-on system at the door and the overwritten menu to the food that has a diploma in underwhelming, it's one huge squelching misfire.

You could excuse the posturing if the food was a genuinely bold attempt to do really something a Victorian trencherman might excitedly get up to his armpits in.

Things end as they began with a slightly dry blackberry and apple crumble and a truly dismal Lancashire rarebit, the cheese mixture overloaded with mustard and underloaded with cheese so that the topping is too loose and runny.
