The Queen & Beaver Public House

This week my dad was in town and took us out for dinner at The Queen and Beaver Public House on Elm St. An old townhouse that has been transformed into a real deal English pub with incredible food. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, the decor is kitschy, (one of my favourite things is the Charles and Diana wedding china in the front entrance, hopefully they get a Wills & Kate one too...) and the plates are mismatched!

My Dad and I shared a starter of Pressed Quail and Foie Gras terrine with Spice Prune jam, garnished with a perfectly cooked (and adorable) Quail egg and basket chips. Delish.

The bf had housemade sausages and mash....just look at that gravy.

Dad had to have the Ox Tongue and Beetroot with Tewkesbury Mash

And I had the Mushroom Pithivier (kind of like a slice of potato and mushroom pie) with greens garnished with pickled onion and gherkins. And a side of brussel sprouts and bacon (obviously).

Dessert was a Chocolate and Orange tart, and a lovely Canadian cheese plate with oatcakes and sliced apple. Phenomenal!
