Beef Tower

A delicious, vertiginous beef dinner at the Vauxhall Griffin. You could have had a nice Eton Mess for afters, if you fancied.

Square meal

We don't usually go in for a square picture on That's Fine Dining, but Instagram makes everything look so damn tastier and fancier. So we make no apologies. A lovely beef roast and a nice pint of Sambrook's Wandle at the Vauxhall Griffin.

Oops, soz. I haven't updated this blog for ages. I'd like to say it's because I've been on holiday all summer, but really it's because I've been all busy like. Anyway, here's a nice picture for a Sunday lunchtime: @disappointment's Sunday lunch. This is totally live blogging, by the way, as he's eating it RIGHT NOW. Check out the bonus paprika on those roast potatoes. Naughty!

Sunday Simulcast

Sometimes in the '80s, before we had fancy TVs, if BBC2 or somebody was going to show a concert, they'd link up with Radio 1 or something, so you could watch the concert on your TV while hearing it in glorious stereo sound via your radio.
Well, last week, it was my turn to DJ at the Sunday Supplement at The Vauxhall Griffin, and I thought I'd do a link up between my two blogs, so that you could benefit from the full sensory experience. While DJing, I ate a nice roast beef dinner (pictured above). And if you'd like to see what I played, have a look over at Kiss & Make Up.

The twelve eats of Christmas: 9

A roast beef dinner, in between Christmas and New Year. At Christmas, I'd eat turkey until the cows come home, but I suppose it's nice to have a change.

Brisket For A Biscuit

Half of a brisket sandwich from the Stage Deli. A tiny slice of bread is perched rakishly on the fist of meat, and it's all set off beautifully by a large dry gherkin. Here it is again, from a more daunting angle.

Hi, my name's Ribzilla

A limited-time special from Famous Dave's. The Ribzilla is a single rib, snapped with some force from the body of a cow. It's basically a steak hanging from a large bone, that you can rip out and use to ting your empty glass, letting the waitress know you require more beer.

The item kissing against the middle of the rib is a plain, sweet muffin. There is something perverse going on here, and I'm not sure I want any part in it.

Flashback…

to last Sunday's roast dinner, again at the Griffin.

Let's get quizzical

A really delicious beef casserole, enjoyed by a member of the Ménage à woof team at the Vauxhall Griffin quiz night. Especially delicious with a generous dollop of brown sauce.

Dream of protein on a plate

A Sunday roast - the first of the autumn - at the Vauxhall Griffin.

"You've probably had enough turkey over Christmas, so we've done you beef."

Beefy, delicious post-Christmas family dinner in Wales.

The platters that matter

Tasty roast beef eaten off the hatch of the DJ booth of the Vauxhall Griffin while playing some relaxing music as part of their regular Sunday Supplement thing.

Beef dinner

I'm disappointed with myself. I've been unbelievably tardy about keeping this blog up to date. So slack, in fact, that the week-long road trip I started to document here is now well over two months past and I'm still not finished with it.
To get me back on track, and as it's Sunday, here's a lovely beef roast dinner that I had from the carvery at The Old Bridge Inn in Llangennech, near Llanelli.

EDIT: The Bridge website says it is all about "good food, good atmosphere, good value for money". It's also about two bloody big dogs on the roof. Woof!
