The King & Co. (Clapham)

• This pop up is away from the hustle and bustle of the high street and has a very chilled vibe
• The menu here is from Donostia Social Club and described as 'basque inspired'
• I had the pigeon with lentils which was unusual but very nice
• The atmosphere was very laid back and condusive to pleasant conversation and a perfectly chilled out
• The range of beers was also commendable and so definitely worth a visit
• I'd fallen in love with Miss P ever since tasting their BBQ brisket at KERB in Canary Wharf (note
• That summer day I sat with my box of lovingly smoked meat
• Especially now they were catering for hungry diners in a small yet busy pub
• The brisket was a delight if I'm pushed to compare between this one and that first that set off my love affair
• The pulled pork was lovely and somehow delicate despite all the flavour that had been thrown at it
• The smoke fried wings they were incredible
• The highlight was the ox cheeks
• Co's drink selection was pretty special too
• Our choice from the cold meze list was Borani e Bademjan
• S a light spread made with yoghurt and small chunks of smoked aubergine
• It goes just as well with flat bread
• The spinach flat bread in the hot meze menu is also remarkable
• Know that the best is yet to come
• Soft crepes with a beef filling
• Ghormeh Sabzi (beef shin braised with roasted bone marrow
• Its texture was unlike anything I had before
• The sweet orange peel it comes with and the sour whipped yoghurt on top even each other&rsquo
• D describe my meal if I was any fluent in the language
• S overcrowded main haunts to find a seat and have actual conversations with your mates
• Clapham for two months with her contemporary twist on traditional Ghanaian flavours
• Zoe's Ghanaian food is available for the whole month of April and May &ndash
• Brunch is only available on Sundays with dishes like spiced black eyed beans with fried eggs
• Bar menu which is a choice of Ghanaian classics in a single platter
• Try her lamb palaver which is a five hour slow cooked hoggat shoulder with baby spinach and ground melon seed stew
• Don't forget there are the everyday specials too
• Zoe Adjonyoh was born and raised in South London to Irish and Ghanaian parents
• Zoe has an MA in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmiths College and is a fixture on the foodie calendar in London and Berlin
• Okra tempura with shito hot pepper sauce (v) &ndash
• Served with a sauce was a perfect finger food with the African beers
• It did not need extra spicy sauce on the side because it was flavoursome and moist on its own
• Zoe's signature peanut butter stew with mutton &ndash
• A very light sauce with crushed peanuts sprinkled on top
• The mutton was very tender
• I am not sure if they were a different kind
• I find that this was a little heavy and dry
• Just as we thought we were not going to get the acclaimed banoffee pie with the chin chin biscuit
• Very nicely balanced off with the Chin Chin saltish biscuit but I personally do not like banoffee pie
• I felt that it was not going to be enough
• Make sure you go with a few more friends so that you can order more from the menu for a taste of everything
• We sampled some of the vegetarian options my favourite was the okra tempura which was really tasty and more ish
• The cassava croquettes were also pretty good with a nice
• Unfortunately I was not a fan of the spinach and agushi (ground melon seed) stew probably one of those dishes that require an acquired taste
• The pork belly was juicy and tender
• The mutton was really tender
• Made with Chin Chin which is a popular West African snack food
• Zoe will be offering a range of hearty brunch dishes like spiced black eyed beans with fried eggs
• S unique Sunday roasts are also not to be missed
• Such as tender Lamb Palaver (a five hour slow cooked hoggat shoulder with baby spinach and ground melon seed stew)
• Continuing with its pop up approach to pub grubbing
• It is if crisp craft beer coupled with cones overflowing with calamari sounds like you kind of fiesta
• On a Tuesday it is not very crowded and there's lots of space to sit
• The music was just David Bowie when I went as it was only days after his passing
• Menu jam packed with Japanese comfort food treats should ring mellifluent to any foodie within earshot
• Reeling Clapham pub goers in with another kitchen takeover by one of London&rsquo
• Highlights were the gorgeous and buttery smoked trout (worth the visit alone
• What might have been the best meatloaf I&rsquo
