Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

Excellent food, and aforementioned bearded hipster gave us birthday drinks[emoji3] (he claims he is pre-hipster, five years of hispidity)
 
I thought I was pretty fluent in Restauranto, but haven't got a clue what Giovanna or Marcon & bandaritas are. In fact the latter sounds like a mariachi band.

They have banderitas too in the nibbles bit at the top. And Marcona almonds which may or may not be the same as marcon. :hmm:
 
yes.. they've spelled it wrong (banderitas) in the main section. A google suggests they're tortilla pancakey type things. Someone needs to go and eat them and find out.

I have a vague memory we've discussed this before and they may be small meaty things

we did discuss something else on their menu I think - but I didn't think it was these (unless it was a discussion I wasn't in). It'll be in this thread somewhere I expect... argh it's going to annoy me now.
 
this is the discussion I was thinking of..

I looked it up when you first posted and it appears to be both - meat (cecina) and fried bready stuff, ceccina - more commonly known as farinata di cecci.

but.. when you google it, the meat (cecina) does appear to often come with a Pedro Ximinez dressing - so dunno which one it's meant to be on the menu.

I didn't know what it was either but was curious.

I asked them but my memory fails me. I vaguely remember them saying something about little pickley things on sticks.

The Marcona almonds are those sweet glazed ones with a touch of Chili spice, and they are very good indeed!

Go round, order some, eat them and then refuse to pay due to their spelling mistake.

anyway, leanderman 's birthday dinner sounds right up my street.

I thought that's what they might be but I know them as pinxtos.

Anyway, went for lunch today and had the ribs which were very good. My companions had the burger which they also enjoyed. There was a small hiccup in that we were charged nearly £10 for three pints of lime and soda but that was reduced to £1.20 when I queried it.

I liked it. I also witnessed a dog being banned from the pub. Basically a chap came in with an enormous Rottweiler which he could barely control and which immediately began behaving very aggressively towards our beautifully behaved and friendly Labrador retriever. He really would have attacked her if he'd managed to break free and the owner was struggling to hold him. We thought we would have to leave but the barman politely asked the guy to go and told him he couldn't bring the dog to the pub again. The guy left without a murmur, luckily. The barman then told us the dog had tried to attack another, small dog on a previous occasion. I thought they dealt with the situation perfectly. And also, don't have an aggressive dog which you can't control! :mad:

So everyone is quite positive with the TH Hotel then. Staff, food and ale. I know it's expensive, but eating and drinking out generally is and when I've no money,I don't do it.
