Jones & Sons (Dalston)

• Crispy Bacon with Shellfish Reduction and Home Smoked Wood Pigeon Breast with Blackberries and Hazelnuts
• Starting with the Scallops and a superb dish of Battered Courgette Flower stuffed with Goats Curd on a bed of Tomato and Honey
• Having despatched with the starters
• It's a great little list with our favourites being the Grey Lady House Infused Early Grey Gin
• The mains arrived and once again we were blown away at the quality of the dishes
• Other options on the night consisted of Roast Pork Belly with Cauliflower Puree &
• Eton Mess and Puffed Up Chocolate with Blackberries and Early Grey Ice Cream
• Perfectly executed with molten chocolate goodness awaiting beneath the sponge top
• It seems like this tea is the new ingredient for Autumn
• The ice cream hit the spot and was a perfect cooling contrast to the hot soufflé
• Rounded off with a lovely little indulgent soufflé
• Sons is a real triumph and is a must for any East Londoners that are serious about their food
• Exploring east London and in particular Hackney is always on my bucket list but I never seem to be able to keep up with all the openings of new café
• One place that I've been meaning to visit for quite a while is Jones and Sons
• I planned a brunch date with lovely ladies Plumdiddlyumcious
• I walked the short distance from Kingsland station to Jones and Sons with curious eyes
• Our brunch date was a stylish affair
• The brunch dishes at Jones and Sons are among the best you can find in London
• My Eggs Royale were perfectly made and presented
• Jones and Sons was busy and the brunch dishes had been replaced by beautiful looking Sunday Roasts
• I still remember the first time I dined in a converted arch of a railway bridge it was a trendy "
• Fast forward a few years though and people are a lot savvier about how they can use these quirky spaces to their advantage and in the process actually making them quite romantic
• Serving up a classic mix of British and European inspired dishes at prices which are friendly on the pocket (especially considering the quality of the meals)
• Beetroot and goats curd and pan fried plaice with caper butter
• Sides of triple cooked chips and mac and cheese rounded out what we soon realised was a very formidable meal
• ) it was really bloody delicious with top quality being successfully maintained across all dishes
• Highlights were the grilled squid
• The plaice which was a masterclass in how the fish should be prepared beautifully browned on the outside with the inside walking that fine line between cooked and raw
• Dessert was an agonising decision but we settled for the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream which was a treacle lover's heaven and the perfect ending to the night
• I have no doubt Jones & Sons (Dalston) will do well in what is becoming a very competitive area
• The real charm though is under the railway arches and next to the canal
• Ashley and I were invited down to check it out last week and were promised great British food in a contemporary setting
• Sons have forgone every date night dilemma of not choosing the most expensive dish on the menu by standardising the pricing starters are all £
• The perfectly diced fish was achingly good
• Clean flavours were complemented by dill and capers
• Ella's grilled squid with morcilla and parsley crumb was stand out though
• It's from the diaphragm of the cow and one of those cuts that are having a resurgence in popularity
• This was cooked to perfection and served with the moreish Bearnaise for dipping
• Ella went for the lamb belly with lentils and beetroot (and I failed to get a snap) but she declared it a masterpiece so further props right here
• We had to continue with little needed but much wanted desserts I went for the treacle tart with clotted cream and Ash and Ella went for the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream
• I visited on Saturday and tried their blueberry pancakes with bacon and maple syrup a real winner
• Thick slices) and the bacon was perfectly sizzled
• Especially a bandwagon with booze and eggs benedict
• An invitation to sample the new bottomless brunch at Jones at Sons was the perfect opportunity to pay their first home a visit
• The frontage is unassuming and you could almost walk straight past it (which would definitely be a mistake)
• The building itself was originally a textile factory before playing host to a theatre
• It's now flooded with natural light thanks to a large full height window and doors (a blogger's dream for photographing food) and an open kitchen is housed (literally
• The difference is the drinks
• Until I made him watch the Bachelor on Channel 5 with me (remember that
• He decided to join the club and have brunch with a Bloody Mary
• By coincidence it was Jones and Sons' second birthday and so we raised our first glass to them
• Eggs Royale with perfectly poached eggs for him and pancakes
• Once we had finished our drinks another round of drinks was offered without any need to ask for them
• His second dish my boyfriend chose the French toast with maple syrup
• I think a poor experience of soggy French toast when I was younger put me off
• With lightly grilled lean ham it was perfect and pretty damn photogenic too
• The key to a bottomless brunch is to pick well and pace yourself
• Originally we were here for a brunch
• By the time we got there the Sunday lunch menu was in full force
