Fish & Grill

The name says it all. At the Fish and Grill in Croydon, it's indeed all about the freshest fish and juiciest grilled meats and despite being a relatively new entry on the culinary scene, appreciation has come in from all quarters. Malcolm John of the French restaurants Le Vacherin and Le Cassoulet brings another winner with this traditionally British brasserie, where the South Coast and Cornwall provide seafood and fish daily, while rare breed meats and free range poultry are sourced from the best producers. The chic decor with its innovative lighting, modern prints and wooden tables enhances the gourmet experience by several notches.

To begin, you could try the potted smoked Cornish mackerel and then move on to a halibut with crayfish butter and parsley mash. Alternatively, you could opt for a grilled main course such as Old Spot pork chop with BBQ seasoning and end with a Bakewell tart with raspberry ripple ice cream. The wine list is an eclectic selection, featuring choices from across the world.
