Brunswick House Cafe (Vauxhall)

• I got a little sick of seeing every 3rd restaurant read 'cafe' and they are all really the same
• Saw a beautiful cafe with by far the most interesting interiors
• They served the croissant on my table with a huge chunk of fresh butter
• Pair it with generous amounts of butter as you bite into it and i promise you this is the best croissant i have had in a while
• The coffee was amazing too
• A very relaxing and boho feel to the place was like a little escape from the world outside
• The service was excellent too and as the lunch time specials go
• 14.80 for two courses it is brilliant value
• Bread or cakes are for breakfast
• Had he not known it was there we probably wouldn't even have noticed it
• We started with a lambs tongue salad
• While I ordered the pork belly cooked with beer and cockles for main my friend went for the duck
• It's a good quiet spot for a catch up and bite although I wouldn't recommend it if you're fussy there weren't many options on the menu and it was all fairly adventurous
• Was smooth and freshly made together with some succulent potatoes
• We decided to accompany the lunch with white wine&hellip
• The prices are good and you should spend 40 £
• I would surely recommend going with a group of friends
• White art decor floor the mix is quite stunning
• A mocha both very nice and made with good quality coffee serves in little glasses
• The chargrilled cabbage with lemon mayonnaise
• They had these beautiful crispy blackened edges and they were generously slathered in a warm lemon mayonnaise that was simply divine
• The potatoes with anchovy butter also deserve a mention
• Desserts best rhubarb eton mess I've ever had
• I don't know what it was wonderfully spiced with
• The room was filled with all sorts of furniture and gaudy chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings
• There is a bar at the front by the entrance with a more casual cafe seating area where you can have a coffee
• Whilst the restaurant area is towards the back of the room
• Hungry and ready to devour the feast that was to be laid before us
• A couple of jugs of Bloody Marys were brought to the table to start us off
• The ogleshield churros were really moreish
• Both the duck rillettes and brawn were also very good
• I was initially unsure about how the horseradish with oat and dandelion would come out as
• A good Sunday roast is always accompanied by equally amazing sides
• I just couldn't resist those new potatoes which were coated in delicious anchovy paste
• The roast lamb leg was really huge and was shared amongst the 7 of us
• We finished off with a trio of sweet desserts
• The bourbon biscuit with custard was probably my favourite amongst them
• Brunswick House is in a bit of an odd location
• Fruits and paired with delicious meats/fish
• So naturally I went with the three courses
• My starter was an Anchovy Butter
• Carrots and Kohlrabi tops which is basically various radishes &
• A coffee sponge with spiced caramel ice cream
• Dirty Burger was a welcome addition in 2013
• Both of which are run by members of the talented Boxer family who are also responsible for the absurdly popular Frank's Café
• Paving the way for Jackson Boxer and his brother Frank (of rooftop car park fame) to found a coffee and sandwich shop in 2010 that was initially known as the Brunswick House Coffee Rooms
• Though it doesn't really help with the decision making
• Every plate (intended for sharing) was carefully thought out beautifully presented
• Pecan Butter was a tough one to share
• It's hard not to be seduced by a Toasted Ginger Cake with Spiced Plums
• You could just pop in for a slice of this with a cup of tea and leave very happy
• In London at a leisurely pace with room to move your elbows
• Then the whole sprinkled with toasted pumpkin seeds
• They make sense because someone with good taste has been involved in putting them there
• In a main course there are slices of roasted lamb loin
• It is decorated first with a bright chilli relish and then
• Cylinders of sweet salty confited salsify come with sticky roasted Jerusalem artichokes split open so you can see their butter soft inwards
• Across that curling savoury tuiles with the delicacy of antimacassars
• The special of the day a plate of lamb shoulder with roasted pink fir potatoes
• Purple sprouting broccoli and braised veges was as stunning to the palate as it was to the eye
• Retaining all its magnificent juices which you couldn't help but mop up with crusty bread as to waste it would be blasphemy
• Just a note that the lamb was only 1 of 3 specials on the day which do rotate so always be on the lookout
• We went for gurnard and lamb dishes with potatoes side
• All mains were lukewarm at the best when served
• Nice place with professional and helpful staff but food was not upto the mark as per expectations
• Five lanes throb with endlessly gyrating traffic flanked by eye poppingly brutal looking high rises and an equally uninspiring railway station
• S a stately little Georgian house with white pillars and stone steps leading to the front door with a Union Jack hanging above the portal
• A Victorian standalone building surrounded by ugly modern and soulless blocks this is a real gem
• The interior is shabby/ vintage chic with Lassco furniture for sale
• Menu is changing according to season with plenty of variety to cater for food intolerances and tastes
• Brunswick House is a Georgian mansion turned architectural salvage yard slash restaurant slash party venue slash bar slash cafe
• The yogurt was and granola + cappuccino were just what I was looking
• The food was delicious and so were the drinks
• The corpse reviver is amazing and a worthy cocktail for anyone adventurous enough to try it
