Here's Lukin at you

As one of many resident advertising industry folk in Noho (Fitzrovia), I've been to a lot of bad pubs. When I say bad, I don't mean the real old man pubs- my favourite of which has to be The Ship; fruit machine, stained carpet and all. Not the kind of pub where the wine options are 'either. We have both kinds!'. No when I say 'bad', I mean ok-ish, nearly gastro, Peroni or Stella sipping joints, guaranteed to be heaving by 5 on a Friday with a wait of 20 minutes for the bar and only knock off jumbo printed wall paper to look at whilst you do.

Not the Lukin. The Lukin is great. Being found or stumbled across near Fitzroy Square Gardens behind Warren Street gives The Lukin the advantage of a little seclusion. The food menu here is seasonal, inventive-yet-hearty, and changes regularly. They  don't shout about it. In fact they don't shout about anything. The only thing you know is going to be on the menu is their burger, which is genuinely as big as my face and comes served with triple cooked chips. Menus and service are simple, graceful, unintrusive. I love it. Can you tell?

Their home made ketchup is a nice touch

I go a fair bit but most recently went for a casual work bite. I had tempura battered cod cheeks with a homemade lemon mayonnaise and a roast vegetable salad. The boys had sausage and mash. Obvii. The other notable feature of The Lukin is their great ale selection - many from Cornwall to wash down your hearty lunch with. Clearly I girled out and had a g&t but they are seriously good.

So next time you want to escape somewhere far from the adding crowd (sorry: shoe horned literary pun), head there. You won't be disappointed.
