Warning. This post is delicious. And full of one of the best brunches I've ever had in London.
However, best to start with the bad so it's out of the way. A coffee is £4. I nearly choked. But that is London. Moving on.
Starting with the best fried chicken in London on a pecan waffle with maple syrup. There are not enough words for how good this was. It blew my mind.
Equally as interesting and delicious, though not as sweet, was smoked pork hash with a fried egg. I can't tell you what else the pork was mixed with, some kind of creamy sauce, but all I know is that it was delicious.
To finish, we went for 1235 doughnuts, made by head chef Brad McDonald himself, sold in Columbia Road market. These were a little disappointing, mostly due to the fact I've had St. John's Bakery doughnut - maybe the best in the world - and more recently Justin Gellately's - of Bread Ahead Bakery in Borough Market - Salted Honeycomb and hazelnut praline doughnuts, which are very very good indeed.
Here the salted caramel doughnut filling didn't taste of much at all, and neither did the pastry itself. However the chocolate filling was very good. They are by no means perfect, which Brad McDonald has acknowledged by saying he wants to tweak them to find the perfect doughnut.
Still, by no means a bad doughnut. I'm just being very picky!
If you haven't been to The Lockhart yet then WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!?!
GO GO GO GO NOW!!!!
