Since my first visit more than six months ago I have been struck both by the food and it's general loveliness so it seemed only right to write about it here.It's a beautiful, light, airy interior with both comfy fireside chairs and an unexpected and delightful garden out the back. All the staff are friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with - and they make a great cup of coffee with the biggest selection of milks I've seen anywhere in West London (never mind do you have soya - there were two nut milks and a coconut milk too). Although I've yet to try them they also have a fab looking selection of cakes on display including gluten and dairy-free options.
The menu changes with the seasons and it's always fresh, tempting and made on the premises. Last week I had one of my best lunches so far: a cup of wonderful mushroom soup (I've had celeriac, aubergine and various others) followed by a Roasted Red Onion, Butternut Squash, Lentil and Apple Salad. Being in a vegan week of eating led me to choose a different option to my normal choice (both the Blue Cheese, Pear & Walnut and Prawn & Mango Asian-style salads are also yummy) but I was so glad I did. Unbelievably flavourful and leaving me energised for a busy afternoon.
So thank you Hampshire Hog for being a highlight of my month and I look forward to May. The Housemate assures me the weekend brunches are delicious so I'll be along for one of those very soon...
