Friday Night Dinner: Rail House Victoria
We went to the Rail House Victoria on a rainy Friday evening. We were seated right next to a big group with children generally acting up, on a table which if I’m honest was a little undersized.
We started our meal with five aged Gouda croquettes. We've seen portions of two, three, and four before, but five is slightly bizarre. I don't get it when restaurants serve sharing items in prime number portions. It makes it harder to divide properly to share. They were however, quite tasty.
As her main, my wife selected the minute sirloin stack, which was served with a fried egg with a running yolk, and a caper salsa. It was well cooked. I chose the roast lamb, which was served with a fried rice with peppers and onions. The lamb was spot on as well, and lovely pink in the middle. It however did come in a very hot pan which I subsequently burned my hand on. With the meal, we shared a bottle of a Cantina di Gambellare merlot.
The dishes were fine, but the setting was more like an industrial gastropub, than a date-night establishment.
We were finished pretty quickly,, but didn't fancy any of their puddings. Instead, we popped over the road to Stoke House to enjoy a lovely cocktail.

Little Owl owlet
This lovely owlet was quite easy to find in a London Park, with some help as they camouflage so well!
I saw its sibling too.

I went to a park (Bushy Park) to look for some owls.
I found Owls (Little and Tawny), but also a Green Woodpecker and two Kingfishers.
Snaps from my camera screen, and real photos will follow, but not of the Kingfishers as they were too far away and the photos are blurry.
