The Culpeper (Spitalfields)

• The atmosphere is hipster but the interior is airy and spacious
• They have a large selection of beers and freshly made juices which are a nice healthy option
• Teething problems were likely the reason for the points off here
• Anchovy butter served with the bread was rather a big shout and watching my main float around table to table before landing at the correct spot was mildly frustrating
• T that many items on the menu I was particularly taken with
• I'd like to fool myself that it was healthier than actual pork scratchings though
• Stephen got the anchovy salad and I had the artichoke with crab butter because it sounded the most interesting
• It is basically liquefied butter with crab meat in it and is one of the richest things I&rsquo
• It tastes good with the artichoke leaves but they don&rsquo
• What we really could have done with was some house bread to dip in it
• ) I feel this is stingy on the part of restaurants these days
• Such gestures are appreciated
• Stephen was more than happy to give me a hand with this as his was a little underwhelming
• M sure that all the ingredients were of the highest quality and fresh as a daisy
• Where quality is everything) we want some more interesting ingredients as well
• I know the trend is to cook it pink these days
• The potatoes were pretty full on when it came to the mustard
• I could bear with them with the rest of the meal but couldn&rsquo
• S sardines were fresh and cheeky looking
• They were a little underdone there was some blood towards the spine
• He thought was too sweet but I thought it was really good and kept nicking it to dilute the mustardiness of my potatoes
• Nor does it seem to be just a restaurant with a bar attached
• Was pleasantly surprised with the interesting variety of food
• Very impressed with the service here
• The furniture was quite comfortable and cosy as well
• We were met with disappointment as they were out of both of those
• I read quite great reviews of The Culpeper (Spitalfields) so thought to give it a try and went there with a friend for evening meal
• There are interesting options when it comes to selections from menu and EVERYTHING is delicious much
• Most of the dishes that I've tried are professionally prepared and tastes exquisite
• The food was reasonably priced as well and the ambiance of the place was pretty vibrant too
• The staff was quite generous and the seating was quite comfortable as well
• Visited The Culpeper (Spitalfields) a few times and have always been content but this time we were disappointed
• Have no issues with the food being served
• We were displeased with the service
• We did not have an advance booking the staff was really helpful and managed to get us a table on their roof top seating
• Service as well was prompt and pleasing
• The roof top garden here which supplies the ingredients is of high quality and you can also sit over there
• The lighting is just perfect
• The starters were appetizing and the juices the freshly prepared and very tasty
• Went to the Culpeper with a group of friends on a busy evening
• Was nice since it is such a busy place
• I got there earlier than planned with my brother
• To meet K who was out shopping that day
• My brother ordered a local beer brewed with fresh lime zest which was quite unique in flavour (BBNo 01|06)
• Soon the rest of the group arrived and enjoyed a drink with us at the very buzzy bar of the Culpeper
• One of them is just the bedrooms
• It is typical for such an arrangement what surprised me is that the menu was very limited and that you could not order from a different kitchen other than the level you were on
• This probably only open or usable in the summer it has a very nice atmosphere and feel to it with some great views of the City and some freshly cooked food from the grill
• Unfortunately due to poor lighting the iPhone photos are too grainy&hellip
• We were sat at our table and were brought the wine menu which was passed to A
• I must remember to take notes regardless the fact that I am with a big group
• I must admit was not what I expected as I thought that it was coming with horseradish and I was surprised that the meat was fridge cold and a bit bland
• There was a negative review of the buffalo mozzarella with pickled girolles &
• Oregano but generally everyone seemed to be happy with their starters
• The main was 750gr of beef rump to share with my brother and it was EPIC
• The evening came to end with a round of cocktails
• Especially for a Sunday roast which is always an important test for gastropubs
• Mostly British in essence with some modern creative touch from other European countries
• The Culpeper was a great finding on our way to the market
• The herbal tea is great and caffe latte is very well made as well
• Confy place and great service is also provided
• My hubby and I shared and were quite satisfied
• We also had the cod fritters and they were delightful
• Beautiful gastro pub with high ceilings and a industrial shabby chic type feel with retro furniture and a wonderful zinc topped bar in the centre
• I was disappointed with the food having read rave reviews for the Culpeper in the broadsheets
• Downstairs the pub is a bit noisy on a Saturday night but upstairs the restaurant it is quite civilized
• Good service with the exception of one over zealous bus person who kept wanting to clear away plates we weren't finished with
• Service is casual but new cutlery is brought with each course
• Tap water and bread with anchovy butter were brought as we settled down to the table
• Starters there were two orders of the Squid
• One order of Wood Pigeon Wellington with Celeriac Salad
• My squid was some crisp polenta dusted calamari with inky black risotto and excellent alioli
• Sebastian Law had the wood pigeon wellington and was disappointed that it tasted like a posh sausage roll
• The accompanying spiralized celeriac slaw was light and refreshing
• Didn't come with anything to juxtapose the charcuterie
• Well cooked with a crisp skin that had been doused in floured prior to frying and a nice soft texture to the flesh
• The sole came with pleasant sides of new potatoes and buttery sauteed spinach
• Hearty portion of pork was a tiny touch on the dry side
• I prefer mine cooked to a slight blush which is well within the new safety guidelines of internal temperature of 64C
• The culpeper was a great stop for a good beer and a good cup of wine last night
• The ambiance is cool and staff is very nice
