La
Poule au Pot - French restaurant in Pimlico, 231 Ebury Street, London SW1W 8UT
The scene of Dick's 60th birthday bash and 10 minutes walk from Victoria Station
French cuisine (or Robust French Country as they say), the meal will cost £18 per head (3 courses from a table d’hote menu) and the wine is £22 a magnum (= two bottles – they charge for what we drink; sounds very dangerous to me.)
We’ve got the cellar down stairs. Should be good.
THE TABLE IS BOOKED FOR 1:30pm
Pre lunch drinks in 'The
Fox and Hounds', Passmore Street, SW1W 8HR

"The Poule au Pot must be the original 'Legend in it's own lunchtime'. It's been going in it's own quite right way for almost 40 years, and is one of the those rare, unpretentious places that people just can't help coming back to. It's clientele includes everyone from Royalty and stars to more humble mortals and it is traditionally one of the spots to go for a Romantic dinner a deux. If your current squeeze is a Hooray and you're invited here, it's almost a dead cert that he's going to pop the question. However, it's reputation as a romantic rendezvous par excellence is backed up by it's skills at producing consistently good robust french country style food. What's Cooking? Fois Gras poele et son verre de Monbazillac; Soupe a l'oignon; Loup de Mer aux epinards; Coq au Vin; Boeuf Bourguignon; Creme Brulee' Mousse au Chocolat. Good value set menus at £14.50 for two courses or £16.00 for three." TopTable.com
