Bread Street Kitchen on the River, Limehouse, E14

After a walk of Limehouse and a visit to the foundry on the far side of the basin I was dragged in here against my better judgement. Have to say it is worth it if you get a river side seat on a fine weather day like we did as it affords great views of the river and the opportunity to watch people mucking about on boats. Actually the food menu, especially in the restaurant section, didn’t seem too outrageous given the location. But this isn’t really the type of establishment that I enjoy as most other tables had parties drinking champagne or expensive wine and this place attracts those moneyed types that feel it necessary to talk loud enough so that you are fully aware how much they paid for it. For the record my half of Adnams Stout was quite passable once it had thawed out. But fortunately I had done a deal with the good lady before entering that we did this as a double with the nearby Grapes, so I knew I was on the promise of a decent pint… I’ll rate it a 5 but that’s mainly for the view…
