Now summer’s here at least one day a week, we INSIST you try the fabulous HERRINGBONE, ABBEYHILL – where sumptuous food, a wonderfully inviting terrace, and a lush 28 wines by the glass are exactly where these bitches want to be.

We’re lunching with two of our favourite breeders, who’ve popped the children into daycare, and begged us to lead them astray. So right now we’re seducing them into a life of unbridled gluttony and rampant alcoholism.

It’s a downward spiral that begins with a cheeky bottle of Lorentz Crémant from Alsace, soon followed by a third. Though before we focus our enormous appetites on actual food, can we just say: LOVE the decor!

With loads of quirk and natural light, it makes the absolute most of the surrounding foliage of London Road Gardens. Hard to imagine this was once a public toilet. In fact, one of notorious homosexual activity #SCANDALOUS

While some find the aroma of a urinal cake oddly arousing, we’re MUCH more excited by its glorious transition to restaurant. Which is why, along with a saucy bottle of organic verdejo, we’re finally ready to eat …

Happily we dive into sumptuous Pork Rilette with picked vege, Cider & Pomegranate Glazed Beef Brisket, and a heavenly Griddle Squid with flaked coconut, coriander, mint & basil OOSH! But … our fave starter is actually vegan.

CUE: the sound of a wine glass crashing to the floor, and a woman from Morningside fainting, rather dramatically.

Seriously … the Seared Watermelon steak with soy, ginger & chili is incredible. Bursting with flavour [ which watermelon cannot help but absorb, so utterly ] and a texture surprisingly like sashimi, we are seriously WOWED.

Though sadly, our flirtation with veganism ends roughly three seconds later with the arrival of the Gourmet Burger du jour – a joyous Tempura Chicken with plenty of crunch, a perfect combo of sauces, and heavenly sweet potato fries

It also confirms we have yet another restaurant we’re in love with. So, we’ll also require the Roast Thyme peaches with ice cream, Walnut & Prosecco Praline, and at least two more bottles of verdejo to celebrate.

As for our gorgeous breeders, their leading astray is now ALMOST complete. All that remains is to throw back three cognacs, and drunkenly collect those poor kiddies from daycare. Congrats darlings, you’re now officially Social Bitches!
