Sometimes all you want in life, especially in these times of austerity, is to just have something cheap and cheerful. Sure, we love a foie gras burger just as much as the next public schoolboy attempting to climb the social ladder solely through advancement in financial circumstances followed, quite sharply, by spending earned money in a frivolous fashion in an ostentatious peacocking effort to attract richer mates. That’s normal behaviour for the aspiring middle classes isn’t it?
Well… every now and then, even we at RoFAboutTown get a little bored by the show and want to save a few pennies, recover our dignity without having to descend into atrocious activities like eating home-made sandwiches. Ugh. Instead, we like to go out to eat – somewhere that feels almost like the excesses to which we have become accustomed and, more importantly, generally populated by other members of the faux-braying masses holidaying from their upper-class façade, but without having joined a charity to work in-house for peanuts so they can really make a difference in the world.
H V-I-I. What he would have given for a little bay.
We thought Café Rouge (the ‘mcdonalds of the middle classes’) might do it for us – and it does an admirable job, but then we stumbled upon Little Bay and we knew we had found what we had been looking for – somewhere to rest our weary winkle-pickers, hang up our mock-cashmere cardigans and lounge in our chinos. We had found our place to save money but maintain our impeccably high standards – especially in Farringdon Little Bay which, until September 2011, is currently offering half-price meals on all its food. It almost makes us want to give up our bourgeois ambitions and set up a cooperative farm or something. Almost – thankfully, the whiff of Orange around the RoF towers always brings us back to our sense.
Little Bay is really very good. It churns out inventive and unique food (choux de crab and pigs cheeks) whilst also churning our pleasingly familiar dishes your mother used to make (or perhaps like your personal chef used to make depending on the generational inheritance of your social ambitions), such as a fantastic burger (with goose fat fried chips), steak, lamb meatballs. Whatever your fancy, your dish will be full of flavour, well cooked and served quickly (they don’t waste any time here). The desserts are something special too - banana cream filled profiteroles? Amazing.
All in all, you will be amazed at the fantastic value. You won’t be eating any foie gras and white truffle pizza here any time soon but, for the sake of your wallet and your gout, we urge you to regularly visit Little Bay – especially whilst the cheap eats are in full flow. That said, Little Bay is a bargain even without the 50% offer.. Eat like a King - for less than £10.
