Hereford Road - July 2012

Good British seasonal food with top fresh ingredients is always worth exploring. Hereford Road restaurant has been on my radar for some time as apparently it serves good British food and the Head Chef comes from St John Bread and Wine. We have been to St John restaurant and St John Bread and Wine many times and we love the kind of food they serve, so we were definitely keen to try out Hereford Road.

My hubby and I finally paid a visit on a Sunday lunch. We both were very excited when we saw that they had suckling pig on their menu! Their menu changes on a daily basis depending on what produces they find on the market. This is what was on the menu on the day of our visit:


Menu on Sunday 22nd July 2012


My hubby chose the Grilled Cuttlefish for starter and I had Potted Crab. The cuttlefish was very nice and fresh. The Potted Crab was also nice but a bit on the small side! If I was to compare it with the Potted Crab served  at Magdalen restaurant, the one at Magdalen for me is nicer as it has more white crab meat.

For main course, both my hubby and I ordered the Roast Suckling Pig as we are both bonkers about Suckling Pig! We have never had the chance to taste the Roast Suckling Pig at St John restaurant or St John Bread & Wine as they never offer it as a portion. One has to order the whole Suckling Pig to share between a few people! That was why we were very excited to find it on the menu. The portion was very generous but  not only we finished it, we also had a little bit of space left for dessert! The Suckling Pig was nice and tasty.

For dessert, my hubby chose Eton Mess and I had Treacle Tart. The Eton Mess wasn't the best we've had. It was a mixture of strawberries, whipped cream and meringue. It would have been nicer if the Whipped  Cream was mixed with some mashed strawberries to give the cream more taste. The Treacle Tart was very nice. The pastry was thin & crunchy and the treacle mixture was very tasty.

The service was a bit stiff but efficient. All in all, we enjoyed our lunch at Hereford Road and would definitely
come back.
