Crown and Anchor, Chiswick

The Crown and Anchor pub , something of a Chiswick institution,  has undergone a major refurbishment and is aspiring to be The W4  place to be with an elegant upstairs gallery bar, open kitchen and a fresh new menu.

Rextail

I think Rextail is a winner for Mr Novikov, who has hit the button this time. It’s out of my personal price range for repeat dining but the food is much better than expected; enjoyable and straightforward and the room works.

Impress Coffee Brewer,

Basically you could call it a Cafetiere that you can drink directly from. Add coffee to the main jug, then add your (off the boil water, because boiling water kills coffee). Wait a few minutes then press down the inner sleeve which has a bottom made up of a fine strainer. When the sleeve is fully depressed it contains your drinkable coffee with the grounds safely on the other side.

Play misty for me

The Cooking Mist is from the new Lurpak Cook’s Range we’ve been experimenting with for the past few weeks. We’ve already enjoyed trying the Clarified Butter and Cooking Liquid and found them worthy products, the mist we were however initially but unnecessarily a bit suspicious of.
