Ordering Strategy

Start with the Quail Shish to share. For mains, the charcoal-grilled meats (Lamb or Beef) are the highlight, though the Ricotta Gnudi is a strong vegetarian contender. Save room for the Financier.

What to order

Safe first

Quail Shish

This is the Baring's 'must-order' signature dish that has 'swiftly become the dish that's turning up on Instagram' due to its 'amazing' crispy skin and pul biber chilli oil.

Hungry

Salt Marsh Lamb Rump

Described as 'a lamb dish and then some,' it features a smoky aubergine accompaniment that critics call 'quite amazing.'

Wildcard

Warm Almond Financier

An 'XXL' version of the classic pastry that is 'all chewy and gorgeous' and served warm from the oven with luscious cherries and cream.

Wildcard

Grilled Leeks and Gribiche

A plate of 'delicious weirdness' arranged like an 'appetising, mustard-coloured, hazelnut-flecked alien life form' that critics compared to a 'Magic Eye puzzle.'

Good to know

It is definitely a dining pub rather than a rowdy boozer, though there are stools at the bar for walk-ins. The kitchen is run by ex-Dabbous alumni.
