Ten Bells

He says...

Oh dear, its been ages since we've posted. How slack of us... So we're going to The Ten Bells on Friday - I've drunk (and been drunk) there on numerous occasions but never knew it has decent food in the restaurant upstairs.

It was, of course, the pub at the centre of the Jack the Ripper murders, and even temporarily (and tastelessly) renamed itself The Jack the Ripper... The pub featured in Alan Moore's brilliant From Hell...

These days its more likely to be populated by East London hipsters than soon-to-be-slaughtered prostitutes.

Menu-wise there's a rather nice sounding grouse with celeriac, blackcurrants and white onion instead... and the featherblade beef with horseradish, swede and onion rings sounds intriguingly odd.
