The Empress - London Restaurant Reviews | Hardens

What a splendid 'throwback' name for an Indian restaurant!

And so we enter a second terminological minefield, as Gordon Ramsay has recently announced that the gastropubs he is to open later this year are not to be so described, but will in fact simply be 'pubs'.

Unlike Gordon - a novice in the area - they already have the benefit of actually running three successful gastropubs: Shoreditch's Well, the much-fêted Gun in Docklands, and the well-rated White Swan, off Fleet Street.

The Empress is in the heart of a villagey little area (complete with an imposing church) to which the middle classes of Victoria Park repair when the want to go out without going Up West.

The space is mainly taken up with restaurant-style tables, and there are few sound-absorbent surfaces.

Examples were Rioja Montesc 2008 at £19.80 for a wine you can find in the high street for around £7, Mendel Malbec 2007 at £39.80 for a wine that retails at £17, and the excellent Fanny Sabre Aloxe Corton 2008 at £65 for a wine that will set you back £38 if you can find it in the UK.

This was a strikingly good soup (easily 15/20).

The fish was properly cooked, though the quality of the fish itself was merely good rather than anything more, but the potatoes were nicely cooked and the rhubarb worked rather well in terms of balance; I am not sure about the wisdom of mixing hot and cold elements on a plate, in this case the hot fish with the cold potatoes, but the dish was pleasant enough (13/20).

I enjoyed my T bone steak, a nicely cooked steak of vast proportions and good flavour; in this case the beef was from Longhorn cattle aged for 30 days, served with a lively shallot and caper dressing (14/20).

Cheesecake with mandarin sorbet had a good base and filling, and particularly well made sorbet with lovely flavour balance (14/20 but more for the sorbet).

I've only ever seen these dried and whole, in the jaws of a dog, but T swore that they were Nigella's favourite TV snack, which was good enough for me.

They're too large for this, in my view: I can pop the teeny head of a smaller fish into my mouth without a thought, but we both ended up dismembering these ham-fistedly, which took so long the batter went soggy.

The lime was the moment of surprise, and it was a good one; cauliflower can be a bit drainy for my liking, but the citrus bounced off its solid, earthy personality.

Drop by for a pint of ale and a home-made pork pie, or linger over marinated duck breast, roasted pak-choi and sautéed garlic potatoes (£16.95) Ramblers on the Oxfordshire Way should refuel at this 16th-century pub on the village green, where starters include rustic terrines and devilled kidneys on toast.

The menu regularly stars home-grown produce, including pork belly from their own pigs, with sweet-potato pommes anna and baby carrots (£39.95 for three courses)

‘Yorkshire fettle, radicchio, grapefruit and fennel salad now on,’ chef Elliott Lidstone had tweeted.

And what a treat: a salad that, as salads seldom do, seemed much more than the sum of its parts with grilled radicchio, pink grapefruit, wafer-thin fennel, plus tiny capers and parsley, and the more subtle British version of feta.

Crisp slivers of pig’s ear with apple sauce was a world-beating bar snack to match the local beers on a terrific drinks list.

Gorgeous guinea fowl on puy lentils with salsa verde, and trout with watercress, slivers of apple, celeriac and an English mustard sauce both packed in sensational combinations of tangy, salty, sharp, sweet, earthy, peppery flavours.

Everything about this gloriously updated former corner pub is bang on, with proper linen napkins, only 50p per person for unlimited house bottled water and local bread, and meat supplied by the Ginger Pig across the road.
