Whippet Inn (Kensal Green)

• Reassuringly small with delicious sounding dishes such as sugar cured venison
• Smoked halibut with grapefruit and chili had me heading instantly for the mackerel escabeche
• We decided to go into the restaurant and give them our order as we had waited for about ten minutes after the menus were deposited and the staff were no where to be seen
• A generous looking plate of chicken with an extra jug of gravy to pour into the Yorkshire pudding and a thick slab of gorgeous looking bread to accompany the marinated fish
• A wonderful pale pink that is so typical of Provence rosé
• Noted that the bottom of the carafe was full of sediment
• Puffed up Yorkshire pudding all brought together with a delicious gravy
• The marinade was totally overpowering and the fish itself was like baby food
• The bread was fantastic but this was little comfort
• She immediately took action both the wine and the mackerel were taken off the bill and we were also offered a dessert on the house
• It's how you deal with the situation which dictates whether a customer will be back or not
