Junior G-man posted:Hey London types, can you help me out? When I was there I looked around for good gastropubs, and bam, one with a Michelin star out of nowhere. It's called The Harwood Arms, and one of the owners has a rifle license and he shoots the deer that end up on the menu. It was one of the best meals I've ever had.  First course was snails with garlic and smoked bone marrow, and it was awesome. Entree was a fallow deer chop along with a fallow deer meat pie. Now, I ordered this, and they didn't ask me "How do you want that cooked?" so I was slightly concerned but figured they knew what they were doing, and when it came out, it was *perfect*. Dessert was a quince cake with a mead-and-raisin ice cream. If you're looking for a gastropup in London, hit this place, it's in Fulham.

The_Doctor posted:Ugh, loving DEATH to restaurant websites built in Flash. And who decided PDFs were to be the standard for displaying menus? Slate had a decent article on why restaurant websites generally suck. Summary: The people who run restaurants are just the sort of pathological control freaks who think auto-playing music and Flash are good presentation tools. Thankfully, it seems like they're starting to wake up to what a bad idea all that is, the awareness just doesn't seem to have spread to Europe yet.

The_Doctor posted:Bill Bryson has a great bit in 'Notes from a Small Island' about how the interest threshold at Stonehenge is about 11 minutes. You can't go up to it, you can't touch it, so you just look at it from about 100ft away and... pssh, that's it, really. It's still pretty damned cool.
