We are so pleased that Shackleton's opened in Bare. 20 minutes walk from home (a bit longer to stagger back!!). Small but perfectly formed in our opinion! Such a chilled, laid back atmosphere created by the owners, I believe there are four owners but the half a dozen times we have been in there we've been welcomed by Lizzie and her partner (and chef), Chris. We've had the opportunity to get to know them a little and their welcome personalities really make the place a little special for us! So let's talk food..... a small menu but in my opinion enough choice (you can sometimes be faced with too much!) and just a bit different! Mainly comprising small plates/tapas style and amazing deli boards!! Special mention though to the Staff Curry (chicken or veggie option)...I can honestly say, it is the best curry I have ever had! Well done Chris! So thanks everyone for a great venue that we hope goes from strength to strength...
Read moreAbsolutely amazing! We were visiting from Edinburgh and booked this wee place to go for a drink and some food. We ended up staying all night until near close time and had the most wonderful time! We tried every wine served by glass on the menu and what an amazing experience. I have a gluten intolerance and they literally went out of their way to make sure they had a gluten free roll to go with my curry. Such a lovely wee place! We also had a nice chat about each wine with the Gill which totally made our experience. Highly highly recommend! I noted a few reviews said the place was a bit pricey but in my opinion you simply get what you pay for and l'd say the prices are fair given the high quality of food, service and drinks. Highly recommend this...
Read moreI heard that they serve Mahou beer here so popped in for a beer today. I had more beers . I was surprised by the knowledgeable Spanish influence. If you like white wine then Albarinho is the best in Spain. Equally Ribera del Duero is the best red.....the Spanish themselves only discovered it around 10 years ago. Here they have both wines which surprised me greatly. Not many restaurants in London carry either wine....let alone both. Mahou has always been the best beer in Spain. I have not eaten here yet but everything is super clean and the platters which I saw come out of the kitchen looked great. We will eat here soon with a nice bottle of Duero The staff are very friendly. I wish them well. I will be back...
