Today, to celebrate two birthdays, four of us bloggers went to The Corner Store for a sandwich and chips. Well, one steak sandwich, one pastrami sandwich, one spinach and bean burger and a beefburger - skinny fries with the burgers.
It's a shame the place stinks of frying. I can still smell chip fat on my hair - not a great scent to wear for a Friday night out. It's possibly because there's a semi-open kitchen, next to the bar. The place has a gastropub feel; it's spacious, with sofas that we were very happy to sink into and it became pretty full by about 1 o'clock. The food took some time to arrive but the service was friendly and casual, in a good way. And, as you'll see from the photo [to come], the cuisine looked fine and they certainly didn't stint on the skinny fries. My burger was billed 'served with chips and salad' so I was expecting a little more green on my plate - but apparently it's just in the bun. It had lots of raw red onion, juicy tomato and boring green leaves. The meat was tasty and seemed good quality; it was an attractive pinky colour in the middle and cooked on the outside (a little burnt in one corner though).
Feel fat-filled now though. And a bit like a sack of potatoes... but I shouldn't complain. Happy birthday you two!
