This was the first place I ever reviewed for The Journal, and although I wasn't particularly generous back then, I was given little reason to be. That was in March 2011, exactly 5 years ago. I found the meat chewy, the salad dull and the "artisan bread" of the burger looks suspiciously like a bun.  Worst of all, not only did you have to order everything from the bar, you couldn't leave a credit card as deposit, so, rather ludicrously, every trip for a refill of wine or water took an age.

Things are definitely better now.

Start off with a good lunch, my editor said.

Perfect, I thought, anticipating foie gras, oysters and Dover sole. But this is 2011, he said, so it must be a Coalition lunch: no more than £20 for two courses, including a glass of wine. Find somewhere that shows off our homegrown produce and has a bit of history.

Historical, local and cheap? That’s a tough call.
