The Lodge (Clapham)

• It was a little bit 50/50 and therefore I was ever so slightly dubious in going although
• Knowing full well the food was excellent the last time I had to go at it with a fresh mind
• Jimmy's Winter adventure which originated in Balham last year was such a hit he's re opened it in the same space and my god
• Intimate and seats are covered in tartan fabric making it a full transportation to a snugly log cabin and all that's missing is a fire
• Taken from the Lodge website (I believe this is the Balham venue)
• On receiving our menus we ordered the viognier and a couple of warm 'butter rums' topped with meringue (a must order) and settled in for the next couple of hours
• Our starters arrived and were thoroughly enjoyed
• Refreshing with a good sweet and sour hit to it
• Pear and Celeriac Remoulade and Chicory was my choice of starter and it was delicious
• The Gameboard was had across the whole table
• Mini Venison Chateaubriand was succulent and nicely charred (served pink)
• Served perfectly pink with a crisp skin
• Pigeon Bon Bon all served with crisp skinny fries and a dressed side Salad
• Two types of fondue are also available (I am told these will always be here even with the menu changing often) as well as a charcuterie board
• Verebier Ski resort have actually made this possible with Jimmy&rsquo
• Sprinkled with hazelnut crumb was a rainbow of colours and an explosion of flavours
• S fresh and summery with a perfect balance of creamy mozzarella with bursts of flavour from Blood oranges and pomegranate
