A week ago I met up with Tommy G, who was over from NYC for biz, to sup a few pints of G (obviously that wasn't the work he came from although wouldn't that be great).
After beers we headed off to the Guinea Grill, http://www.theguinea.co.uk/
Yeah check out the pic of that big old boy on the website, he greets you at the door, what a bloody legend! The rest of the staff are good old boys too, I was trying to hug them all as I staggered out, especially the Italian one.
This is really a boys boozer/dining room although Penny was turning the air blue and out swore all the pissed up bankers crammed in. They seemingly specialise in steaks and pies - they are 3 times steak and kidney champions! However, I bloody hate kidney so I tucked into their beef and ale pie. The pastry on their pies is off the chart in terms of quality (the actual beef was a little dry and chewy but it was the end of the night so that may have been a factor?), I urge a visit, just pop in for a plate of pastry and a pint if you're short on time.
We obviously had our pies with dauphinoise potatoes (doesn't everybody?), broccoli, creamed spinach and chips to scoop out the last of the pie from its dish - well in truth only I did that but that's why I'm a wee bit of a porker! All washed down with some red, a coffee and a double amaretto. An absolute Mayfair Tuesday night delight.
