We went last night to Hawksmoor. The steaks were excellent as ever, and I ordered some roasted bone marrow to top mine, but the service was surprisingly poor. The bone marrow arrived long after the steak, one dining companion’s medium raw steak was medium or more, and generally it was hard to catch an eye or get a water refill. Then, living in Malaysia has got me accustomed to a swift exit after eating, so delays in receiving and paying the bill always annoy.
The reason this post is so food oriented is that it is past lunchtime the next day, my breakfast was a single slice of toast over five hours ago, and the kitchen is taken up with serious conversations that I don’t wish to intrude on. Also, cold English lunches are quite unsatisfying anyway. I should find some way of getting some proper food while I am here without eating out all the time, otherwise it’ll be a daily difficulty.
