The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2021 - Issue 30

The Dirty Fries, which we had instead of the Beef Dripping Tri- ple-Cooked Chunky Chips, topped with a mature cheddar cheese sauce, Korean-style BBQ sauce, spring onions, chilli and coriander was beautifully creamy with a little spice kick from the chilli. We also had nicely salted and tasty regular French Fries and Sweet Potato Fries. I don’t normally like the taste of spinach or mushrooms but the magic touch of garlic made them more enjoyable. Bar + Block also do handmade burgers like the Classic 6oz Beef, The Mighty Block, Tandoori Chicken and a vegan Sloppy Joe Burger. Each one is hand-ground and prepared on-site every day, then hand-cooked to order and served with a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato and fried red onions and French fries on the side. The Grills consist of Charcoaled Chicken, Smokey Mixed Grill and Minted Lamb Chops. Or you could have Beer-Battered Cod and Chips or Chargrilled Salmon along with a selection of side dishes. To end our evening at Bar + Block, we had Eton Mess Sundae with rippled pavlova layered with vanilla ice cream, strawberries, raspber- ries, blackberries and whipped cream and Chocolate Churros Sundae with the churros coated in cinnamon sugar, served with vanilla ice cream, triple chocolate brownie chunks, cream and chocolate toffee sauce in jar glasses. The Eton Mess was deliciously creamy with the fresh taste of the berries and the Chocolate Churros had the gorgeous taste of cinnamon and chunky brownies. On Sundays, the steakhouse serves a roast dinner consisting of freshly prepared succulent 30-day aged roast beef and chicken in a sharing platter. It would not be complete without the trimmings so indulge in oozy cauliflower cheese and crispy golden honey roasted parsnips with seasoned roasted potatoes that are crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle and rustic giant Yorkshire puddings made from free-range eggs, perfect for collecting the restaurant’s deli- cious signature gravy.
