• If just strolling past you'd think The Sands End pub in Fulham was your average local boozer
• The head chef here is Oliver Marlowe who formerly worked at The Glasshouse &
• Two very good restaurants The Sands End is now also recommended by the Michelin Guide
• When my chosen dish of crab and scallop ravioli with buttered leeks and a shellfish veloute (sounding like an impressive spoon from 'The Taste') arrived it didn't look particularly appealing
• A mouthful later and i was gleaming with delight
• Smoky paprika dusted shellfish veloute was a delight to eat and the single raviolo was a gorgeous example

• The bun and mustard/ketchup sauce (reminiscent of that from a Big Mac) on the other hand were very lovely

• Roasted hake with heavenly &lsquo
• Aioli and pecorino was a sheer delight to eat
