Caravan (King's Cross)

• Brunch on a Tuesday was a good option as i hear its crazy busy in the weekends and you will have to wait a long time for a table
• The relish was fresh with a hint of spice which i thoroughly enjoyed
• I ordered two poached eggs as a side which was good as the meal itself wasn't huge and i was starving
• My friends enjoyed their breakfasts apparently the baked eggs are the winner
• The inside has the feel of a modern warehouse with good seating and a really cool interior
• Filter coffee was good my friends soy flat white however was terrible the milk horrifically burnt and lumpy
• They weren't that impressed when we pointed this out however they did replace it quickly with a slightly better version
• Though a rabbit in chocolate mole sauce was a surprise hit
• This does create a pretty loud eating environment but even with so many diners
• If you are with some friends Caravan (King's Cross) is simply the Best where to go
• The atmosphere inside Caravan (King's Cross) is what will leave you amazed
• Fish (which was really good)
• A soutsouki pizza some desserts with apple and ice cream
• The design of Caravan (King's Cross) is simple but nice
• S most of times super busy but if you can put aside your impatience you will be rewarded with an unforgettable experience
• The kitchen in the restaurant is mostly International
• The service was quite negligent
• The second small plate was octopus with chorizo
• This was disappointingly served warm (not hot) and was extremely oily
• The waiter could see it had barely been touched and failed to ask whether there was a problem which was equally as disappointing
• Their coffees were delicious Great flavour and served beautifully
• The atmosphere was vibrant and buzzy with patrons ranging from late 20s to 40s so a really good mix
• I would say 3 4 dishes per person is enough (depending on how hungry/ greedy you're feeling)
• Service was top notch although I felt rather sorry for the waiters who were completely rushed off their Nike trainered feet
• Had lunch with a friend and the food was delicious whilst not expensive
• I had the burrata with some salad and hazelnuts and octopus with peppers and paprika
• A line of Sunday brunchers was already waiting outside
• Once in a year one is allowed to go crazy&rdquo
• S much celebrated coffee was the unexpected lowlight of my morning
• All it took was the vague promise that the food was nice
• Indulgent meals with your friends or family
• Include potato gnocchi with wild mushrooms and Jerusalem artichoke cream
• Not a decision a native Italian with impossibly high standards takes lightheartedly
• Had I known I was going back I would not have driven
• The breakfast appropriate foods are split into several sections
• Baked goods were an obvious no (lots of calories but gone in a very short space of time)
• On toast vs brunch was a tricky decision as you can't go wrong with eggs on toast but since you can have that anywhere I decided to be adventurous
• I settled on river farm smoked salmon with goat's curd
• I was as impressed with my dish as I was the parking situation there
• I also had a berry and yoghurt smoothie which was far too yoghurty
• There wasn't even anything in the baked goods display that was enticing enough to indulge in afterwards
• I do however feel morally obliged to conclude with the following saving graces
• A) One of my party ordered courgette and corn fritters with chilli jam
• Despite its vastness Caravan was also hugely popular
• Waiting 45 minutes for a table was not a problem due to the glorious sunny weather
• There was still a small wait when we arrived but the waiter came and chatted with us to pass the time and to make us aware that we had not been forgotten about
• Though the tables were tightly packed together the high ceiling and industrial decor made the place feel bright and airy
• The menu was not your standard brunch and had many combinations that excited me so much that I had to go half and half with my long suffering boyfriend
• I am not usually a fan as often I feel like it is drinking salty salsa however these were light and to my surprise delicious
• The poached eggs and aubergine came served beautifully and the puree was sultry and smoky
• My only small critique would be that unlike my first dish the toast ratio was all wrong &ndash
• To finish we all grabbed a coffee made in their on site roastery which was bittersweet and strong (just how I like it)
• All round Caravan Kings Cross is a really great place serving up unique food
• The seared trout was one of the best fish dishes I've had in recent memory
• Everything is done with creativity
• The smoked salmon was slightly too salty and should have just used salmon sashimi though
• They have managed to warm the space with excellent lighting and by packing the tables in closely together
• Do they not realise it is possibly the
• The On Toast with different toppings are something that are a must have
• The simple cheddar and onion chutney was made amazing coz of the sour dough bread
• While all the mains sounded great the 'Coconut bread with lemon curd and rhubarb' is great for some who like a little sweetness
• O cornbread with fried eggs and black beans' bring together some great tastes while the freshness of the ingredients make each bite tastier than the last
• Lazy weekends are what gets me through the work week
• It's time that is largely mine and where I can dictate the do's and don'ts temporarily before my time is paid for again by the 9 to 5
• Most of the time I just want to take it easy and let it come to me and there are few better places to wait in London than Caravan over a hearty brunch
• My first experience at a Caravan establishment was at their original location in Exmouth Market about 5 years ago
• I was a fan so when they announced they were expanding to a bigger location in Kings Cross
• Though the decor is slicker and trendier than the original
• Hearty plates including my favourites courgette and corn fritters with chilli jam
• Rocket and the Jalapeno corn bread with fried eggs
• Guindilla pepper are still flying off the shelves and now
• You'd be wise to start with Caravan at the fore and then consider the rest from there
• So did a big pile of money and places like Caravan are the result
• I'd catch up with friends here and enjoy delicious cocktails
• The courtyard is ideal to relax in
• I had an earl grey infused gin cocktail which was seriously good
• The desserts were maybe the weakest point of the meal with an interpretation of a 'black forest gateaux' being a little to 'out there' for us
• I finished with a flat white instead and was not disappointed
• We had a great evening our best meal of the year so far
• T book a table for brunch at weekends) and there was a rather ridiculous one hour wait for a table
• Two bar stools were sitting there with our names on them
• Kings Cross is fast becoming one of London's premier dining destinations
• Brunch here is much hyped but I stopped by for a weekday lunch instead
• Crispy soft shell crab with red lentil dahl and yoghurt was excellent as was the pork belly (I only got in one bite it was gone so rapidly)
• A large plate of black bream with samphire was nothing special better was a slowly cooked beef cheek dish that was rich
• The cocktail selection was also solid
• Lunch at Caravan was rather good
• The wide ranging menu with its many influences made for interesting eating
• Arguably though it was the restaurant's vibe and decor that stood out I'll be back for what is supposedly one of London's finest breakfasts (or brunches on the weekend)
• Apparently it is quite a foodie destination hot spot with Grain Store
• To be honest I ended up there because Grain Store was full and Caravan had seats at the communal table by the bar
• I must say that our waiter was very friendly and efficient despite the full house and we never felt our "
• The caramelised pork belly was melting in the mouth with crispy skin and a delicious bourbon shrimp butter
• The wine cooked beef shin was good but to me was not rich enough
• Black pudding and apple was disappointing as a bit rubbery
• The ham rock croquettes were fantastic though
• Delicately spicy inside served with a mustard mayo
• The soft shell crab was the big let down
• I washed this down with a carafe of Pinot Noir from Languedoc as I was the only one having wine
• The wine list is interesting from a variety perspective and has cheap options but failed to entice me and I went for the grape rather than the producer
• Perfectly syrupy pan fried pineapple with Rum and coconut icecream
• All in all a good experience although the food was hit and miss
• Went for a light late lunch and so the place was pretty empty which resulted in excellent service
• Excellent level of heat with the jalapeñ
• The tomato was a bit too strong and I've had better burrata elsewhere
• The cold brew coffee was wonderful and a great interactive experience
• The food was delicious and surprisingly generous and the service was very attentive and smooth
• We went against standard protocol and ordered 3 small plates each (greedy but this was after a long gym session
• ) and these plates were very well portioned
• Root vegetable and broccoli salad was moistened by a lovely green goddess dressing
• The tofu and noodle salad was also greatly helped by a punchy asian dressing and the crunchy peanuts added necessary texture to the dish
• Crunchy and with a nutty and moorish hit from sprinkled walnuts
• 20 a head with service) but the food is definitely worth it
• Originally Grain Store was suggested but as it was fully booked even though the booking was tried to be made a few weeks before the event
• The next option was Caravan next door
• S Cross station might not imply we were on our way to a tempting brunch spot
• Sprinklers and children playing (look it was last summer okay
• S bare brick interiors was a multitude of servers
• Been here innumerable times and the place is an all time brunch favourite
• The dishes are original and bursting with flavours
• My favourite is the baked eggs with tomato ragu and sourdough bread
• The caravan fry up is quite good too if you are after a traditional fry up
• Everyone who works there seems to think they are too cool to serve you
• The wine selection is poor and I didn't even stick around for the food
• The whole atmosphere was dripping with pretention and people thinking they were so 'hip' as they were in a bar with flour bags lining the walls
• We arrived after work around 6pm and were waiting for a table of 5 as we had not booked
• I guess this is a good sign that they were so busy
• Everything was fresh and tasty
• Wooden interior along with the industrial and warehouse y vibes
• I felt like I was eating in rather a sophisticated and rustic canteen (if only schools could adopt those vibes)
• The service is not very good
• The lady on the door was very nice took me to the bar and told me to wait there and get the bartenders attention
• Round 2 I thought I would give Caravan (King's Cross) another go the very next day as I was hoping it would become a regular place to visit
• Again I think it was the same lady on the door very nice girl I just made my own way to the bar and waited where she told me to the night before
• If he was the manager he seriously needs to sort out his staff as I've now noticed I'm not the only one that is complaining about this exact problem
• That night I was feeling so upset
• I may try exmouth market to see if it is any friendlier but will never go to kings cross ever again or recommend to anyone in fact will probably warn people not to go there
• This is easily the best brunch place I've been to in London so far
• The coffee is incredible
• I went to Caravan for a Sunday brunch and had a great time because of not only getting my monthly quota of vitamin D on a sunny day but also because their food was different and spot on
• I had the aubergine puree with poached eggs
• Caravan provides a lovely dining experience with tables outside overlooking Granary Square
• I did find there was a limited variety of food options
• The fresh juices are not always all available
• The service is good even at busier times
• Excellent coffee hit on a Sunday morning with a great outdoors section of you are lucky enough to have the sunshine
• The portions are not too filling but you can always order more dishes because it's healthy
• The restaurant is a little dark and the music was too loud where we were sitting
• The service was very friendly
• The portion was a little bit small though so if you want to be completely satisfied
• We had heard excellent things about Caravan and we were not disappointed
• The atmosphere inside was lively and fun
• Classic cars and Kings Cross Square were delightful
• Reservation is required for lunch
• S one of the best in the area
• T too sweet and the lemon curd gave it a nice tangy taste which was very addictive
• The new King's Cross developments are coming quickly with the next giant opening in autumn this year
• The moment Dishoom and the nearby Caravan are holding my attention
• A friend mentioned their excitement that it was there and I remember thinking what's the big deal they didn't impress me in Spitalfields
• Then I realised there is no Caravan in Spitalfields and I was actually thinking of Giraffe
• Consistency was good however
• Decor and place is very comfortable
• S hand soap is equipped with Aesop brand hand soaps
• Stay outside (MANDATORY if the weather is good) and try the more unique dishes and brunch options they have available
• I thought it was somewhere temporary
• S what I thought a caravan was supposed to be
• My favourite was the green looking custard which in pandan flavoured
• We also ordered a few dishes to share for brunch which was sweet potato hash and aubergine dip with egg and lamb meatballs
• Overall they tasted amazing but the sweet potato were cubed and not hashed which i was slightly disappointed at
• It was packed with a lot of flavours
• The aubergine dip needed some flavours as it was very bland and i ate this before eating anything else so my tastebuds were definitely cleansed
• I found the place lively and service was quite quick once we were seated
• Probably could have done with a little longer in the oven as the centre was still a little cool and the cheese not quite melted
• The service was fast (although they forgot a plate of food
• With no apology after it was chased up and arrived)
• Only negative some of the dishes were quite spicy (lot of fresh chilli) however this was not in the description on the menu and therefore a couple of the party couldn&rsquo
