The Old Bull & Bush (Golders Green)

• The Old Bull and Bush is always busy so it's best to book before visiting
• The nut roast was the nicest I've ever tried and although the accompaniments were tasty
• The restaurant was packed even at 3pm so I'd imagine the kitchen was just overwhelmed with orders
• It's a nice place to visit but with so many nice places in the area it would be a waste not to regularly visit them all
• It's a shame because the site is great but definitely not coming back there for a long time
• Between Golders Hill Park and the Hampstead Heath extension not far from the famed Spaniards Inn where it is notoriously difficult to get a table on the weekend
• The Old Bull and Bush is a modernized traditional British pub
• Cor both in the bar and in the dining room has been recently refurbished to give a modern airy feel with calming greys and high ceilings
• Particularly prominent in the dining room with enormous bay window seating areas
• With mini versions available for the kids (though the Yorkies are just as big)
• By the time we left it was nice and calm again
• A crisp and refreshing glass of Pinot Grigio was essential to start proceedings
• I chose Deep Fried Somerset Brie in panko breadcrumbs with apricot and cumin chutney
• Creamy cheese with a crispy edge and the sweetness of the chutney worked well
• Himself had the pan fried Tiger Prawns with sweet chilli and ginger sauce
• The brioche burger was a good size
• Some of these were swapped in the interest of fairness with the carrot sticks served with the chicken breast strips with warm tortilla
• The chicken itself was a little dry and crusty
• The lemon yogurt unfortunately was immediately refused kids
• Duck and Waffle is so famous now (in the food world anyway) I couldn't resist ordering OB&
• Though most of it was scoffed by a small person across the table
• Delicious sweet potato fries garnished with Parmesan finished the dish and although it was unusually sweet for a main
• Himself went into summer holiday mode and ordered steak with peppercorn sauce
• So I take it it was fairly tasty
• Chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream
• Refreshing ciders and premium gins with limited edition twists
