Two days off work, so the only thing to do was to kick start it with a few drinks with friends, followed by dinner and cocktails. We went to Burger and Lobster in Farringdon because it was easy and not too expensive. It’s on the site of the legendary old Vic Naylor’s, though there’s very little left that’s reminiscent of Vics – even the stair rope has gone.
Burger and Lobster is a chain but it’s really a very simple concept, there’s 3 things on the menu – burger, grilled lobster and lobster roll. In fact, there isn’t even a menu, and everything is exactly the same price, it’s that simple.
We had the grilled lobster, with garlic butter, which comes with fries and salad. Whatever you order is £20.00 – and the lobster always seems the better deal for that price.
I had Cosmo’s and @madgie had Old Fashioned’s, both of which were lovely, and we got to sit at the bar and eat (favourite thing, as you know). Good service, good drinks and good, simple food. It works.
