Roast Dinners Around The World

  • Bob’s Kitchen, Budapest, Hungary

    Bob’s Kitchen, Budapest, Hungary

    Celebrate good times for Roast Dinners Around The World, and hence our excellent British cuisine, has made it to eastern Europe, in the form of Bob’s Kitchen in Budapest. I dream of a time where roast dinners are available everywhere in the world, like pizza, curry and corrupt politicians. Alas, Budapest was not a jolly.…

  • The Irish Rover, Portimão, Portugal

    The Irish Rover, Portimão, Portugal

    Ola, World Emperor Gravy is back with more worldwide adventure, this time with a roast dinner at The Irish Rover in Portimão, Portugal. Some places I go to, there simply are no roast dinners. Palermo was a case in point – quite obviously the mafia were never going to allow anyone to serve such a…

  • Paddy Reillys, Basel, Switzerland

    Paddy Reillys, Basel, Switzerland

    I know what you’ve all been thinking – can you get a roast dinner in Switzerland? Indeed – you can, at Paddy Reillys in Basel. Sure, Paddy Reillys is an Irish pub so it doesn’t come with a gravy topped side of Toblerone wrapped in Gruyere – there is no Swiss twist to this pub,…

  • The Spinning Goat, Fuengirola, Spain

    The Spinning Goat, Fuengirola, Spain

    Emperor Gravy is back! This, and for very much hopefully the final time this year on the Costa Del Sol (no offence but London is calling), at The Spinning Goat in Fuengirola. Yep, the return that absolutely nobody demanded. Re-call me Dave. Except I’m not in the UK right now, I’m all international – or…

  • Fadó Irish Bar and Grill, Benalmádena, Spain

    Fadó Irish Bar and Grill, Benalmádena, Spain

    So the first thing I had to do when writing this review was to try to remember where I went. Fadó Irish Bar and Grill. In Benalmádena, which is a difficult enough place to remember the name of. It was a gloriously sunny day. Hey, England, you still reading? All 8 of you? And I…

  • The Carvery, Torremolinos, Spain

    The Carvery, Torremolinos, Spain

    And finally, I get to review a roast dinner in my favourite country, España. The Carvery in Torremolinos. Oooh a carvery. Maybe it will be as good as a Toby Carvery. I should probably put some emphasis there. As “good” as a Toby Carvery. Phew, my pretentiousness comes out better with punctuation. Yes, Lord Gravy…

  • L’entente, Paris, France

    L’entente, Paris, France

    Avez-vous un roast dinner en Paris? Oui, bonjour – avec le restaurant L’entente – Le British Brasserie. Gosh are you impressed that I remembered my French from paper ball throwing practice lessons when I was 15? At least 3 French teachers were signed off with stress when I was at school. Oops la la. When…

  • Rusty Spoon, Bugibba, Malta

    Rusty Spoon, Bugibba, Malta

    Yo. It’s Lord Gravy. International Lord Gravy. Back on my travels and this time in Malta – to the Rusty Spoon in Bugibba. Or maybe outside of London I should be called Emperor Gravy? Emperor Lord Gravy? World King…no that makes me sound like some other arrogant, useless British twat. Albeit I’m less useless than…

  • Shakespeare Pub, San Diego, USA

    Shakespeare Pub, San Diego, USA

    Well, hello there. Welcome to the first (and possibly last) episode of Roast Dinners Around The World. Starting with Shakespeare Pub in San Diego. US of HEY. Who the hell am I? I’m Lord Gravy, aha…Lord, from London in the UK. You know, the country that gave birth to the USA and happily let you…
