A few weeks ago I managed to finally drag myself to the newly opened Covent Garden branch of the American/seafood restaurant Big Easy. Having already visited the Kings Road branch I fell in love and was very excited one had opened a bit nearer to home.
It's not the cheapest of places to eat and is definately a treat option for lunch. But the portions are huge. Absolutely huge! I didn't eat anything for the rest of the day. I opted for the Carolina Pulled Pork and it went down an absolute treat. The BBQ sauce was sticky and tangy and went perfectly with the melt in your mouth pork. The chips were a little bit too well done for my liking but Lily helped me finish them off! The coleslaw had a tasty lemon tang to it and baked beans were moreish.
I'm a sucker for presentation and I loved how everything was served in seperate bowls. The brown greaseproof paper added a great rustic feel to the food. It was fairly busy but not overpowering or too loud. Service was a bit hit and miss. Sarah's main came out quite a while after everyone elses so that was a bit annoying. I think meals should come out all at one rather than in droves.
Next time I visit i'm zoning in on the delicious ribs Aisling chose. The girl did good!
Have you ever been to Big Easy?
Oh my goodness, I am drooling a little! xx
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks like such good comfort food. I'm hungry now. Nowhere around here serving up that sort of thing though unfortunately :/

This looks so amazing! I'm not a huge fan of seafood but I'd definitely opt for the pulled pork instead! x
