Edwins (Borough)

• Wednesday 12th March The Trinity Pub in Borough is a regular haunt
• As I often rehearse at nearby Henry Wood Hall with KSO (we're only one letter away from being the LSO)
• So I was delighted to hear that the publicans were opening a restaurant upstairs called Edwins
• I popped along with three friends during their soft opening
• The drinks they have an excellent gin selection with the likes of St
• Pomegranate (pictured below) was light and bursting with flavour
• Scallops in Filo with Harissa Mayo were everything that we had hoped
• Crispy Pork Belly with Cauliflower and Rabbit
• My Wild Venison with baby root veg and shallott puré
• Natalie's Grilled Seafood Bouillabaisse was very popular
• Vegetarians will be happy with the likes of Honey roasted pear
• Almond Tart with Chantilly Cream and Chocolate Fondant with Honeycomb Icecream
• I think there is room for something even better here or maybe just one more choice
• The fondant appeared with pistachio ice cream
• Though not ideal for someone that was craving honeycomb or with a nut allergy
• Criticisms were small though
• The atmosphere is delightful and the staff were very friendly
• I can imagine it being equally pleasant in the day time with light crashing through the windows perhaps I will return to try out their Saturday/Sunday brunch menu which is very enticing
• If Sundays in England were made for one thing
• A round (or five) of slowly paced out drinks (alcoholic or otherwise) and most importantly chilled out conversations with friends and family
• The atmosphere was so relaxed
• Un rushed and friendly that it's hard to imagine you are in a location as busy and touristy as London Bridge/Borough
• There was no way in the world I was ever going to finish a Sunday roast if I filled up space needlessly first but hubby went for a delicious lightly battered scallop dish with spicy sauce on the side
• I was served a beautifully cooked and crumbly to perfection filo pastry filled with layer upon layer of goat cheese
• Spinach and vegetable and served with honey roasted carrots
• All requests that the boys in the group had for sauces and relishes were met with easy approval
• Because they are cooked in bulk for large groups of hungry punters
• Something always disappoints either the potatoes are undercooked
• I've never found one that is quite up to par
• Was done perfectly and I am usually known for the one with the litle appetite amongst friends and families (well
• ) but even I managed to finish almots my entire plate because the food was too good to waste
• What was nicest was that we sat there
• The restaurant is located just about Borough station
• Ll find a bright and charming room filled with eclectic but modern furnishings
