Bar Shu, Pollution and The Seashell

Went out to Bar Shu in Soho with a friend. I felt full after the first two plates: hot beef pieces and smacked cucumber. With a few beers we then went on to devour pork knuckle, gong bau prawns and a dish of beans. I was more than replete, but my companion struggled on with baby squid but failed to make much of an impression on these. A delicious if very expensive meal. We then sat outside Bar Italia for a coffee and both commented on the fact that it was only the end of April, yet warm enough to sit outside in the evening with light clothes.

Just read that Elephant and Castle is officially the most polluted roundabout in London with several readings well above the limit allowed, and that the people living there would live eight years less than average because of this. Makes you sick, eh?

Just back from a great fish and chips with my Chairman and his wife. Place called the Seashell in Victoria, absolutely superb. We had a great time and had coffee in a favourite pub of theirs called the Jugged Hare just around the corner.

just discovered it is called the Seashore, the Seashell is in Lisson Grove.
