Yet another knocked through bar/pub/eatery with a courtyard garden. However, unlike the nearby Jam Tree and Imperial, this one is slightly less modern in decor and boasts a naturally well lit seated rear dining area and a decent courtyard garden. Also a plus for sunny weather is that the frontage has doors all the way across so some or all of space can be opened to the street which was a bonus on a sultry evening. No machines but TV at side and rear and a board advertising the Euro 2012 schedule - not sure if this is a one off but looks like they'll show the games. Two ales on - I didn't try the "Hand and Flowers Best" but the Dark Star Original was in good condition. SimonM - 25 May 2012 13:08 |
To be honest, the only reason I�m writing this is the selfish desire to be able to visit the Hand & Flower again and again. Otherwise I would never tell anyone about this place, and only bring my close friends and family - and probably blind fold them en route so they wouldn�t know how to get there themselves. There are a couple of decent places in Fulham that we�ve discovered, but the Hand & Flower has delivered on several occasions the best meals we�ve had west London. I have to say that quality of food and cooking at this place is as good as cetain starred central London establishments, but at a fraction of the cost in a much more relaxed atmosphere. The service (save one run-in with an overstretched Australian lass) is always welcoming, warm, attentive but not intruding. It has a lovely warm dining room and open kitchen, with a gorgeous little garden out the back. The front acts as proper pub-ish space, nut you can also eat there. Although there a reasonably balanced menu (not too many or few choices), I�d recommend going for dinner and trying the scallops 3 ways or salmon tartare for starters and the rib eye or sole for mains. The last time we visited we ordered a to-die-for chocolate fondant for dessert, to which we were told there would be at least a 25 minute wait as these are made from scratch. I�m not really a �chocolate person� but we almost ordered a second after scraping the plate. The wine list � in my novice opinion � has a well chosen selection with a few organic bottles on the list as well. A bit of background, I�ve lived in Fulham for 2 years now and (rented in) Kensington the 2 years before that. Although now in other professions, my partner and I have both worked in restaurants a few years ago (myself in the kitchen and front of house, and my partner in front of house) so (I hope) we have a reasonable idea of what good food and service standards can be. Although I�ll regret writing this if the Hand & Flower ends up being packed every night, I�ll take the chance if that means I�ll still be able to visit (and maybe reward the lovely people there).They have an offer on at the moment - Mon-Thurs 2 courses for �15 - well worth every penny and then some.

I would just echo The_Final_Arbiter... flashharry1965 - 29 Jan 2010 10:38 |
what's slightly obvious? That I had 4 pints of Heiniken and a bottle of wine before I wrote this? fr0ntal - 29 Jan 2010 10:25 |
