The Anonymous Widower

To The Other Side Of Hackney For Lunch

My youngest son used to live near Victoria Park and to get there I used to drive down Lauriston Road.  I also used to go there to get postcards for various clients and businesses from a company called Just Postcards. The company did move to Norfolk I think, but they are no longer on the web.  A pity, because they did a good job.

So today, I went to the area to check out a pub called the Empress of India. I was not disappointed with my lunch.

Lunch At The Empress Of India

As you can see I had some beef with cauliflower, capers and kale.  It was gluten-free of course. I washed it down with a glass of Hogan’s cider.

I chose it because I’m very much a sucker for capers, but then if you’ve been to the Aeolian Islands, you always are.

History doesn’t record much of Queen Victoria’s taste in food, but would she be amused that a good pub/restaurant is named after her.

It is one of these places that is very convenient for me, as I just get a 277 bus all of the way.
