The Plimsoll London

Dinner at @the.plimsoll 🍔🔥

Been meaning to come back here for the longest time. Think I first visited around 2 years ago and loved what they were doing in the kitchen. Glad to say it’s as good as I remembered it to be! A proper pub serving really tasty food. The Dexter cheeseburger is of course one of their biggest hits. It’s the perfect middle ground between a regular cheeseburger and a smash. The patties are pressed just enough to get a lovely crust but not all the way down to a crisp. The result is a much juicer bite of beef, topped with melted American, thick pickles, diced onion, crispy onions and a mouth-coating burger sauce. All of this between two thoroughly toasted brioche buns. It’s a hell of a burger, ticking so many boxes - unctuous, beefy and satisfying. A little more salt needed for me but it’s seriously good, especially given A) how many of these things are ordered each night and B) how many other plates they are throwing out from that tiny kitchen. The pappardelle with cavolo Nero pesto and pine nuts was beautiful. Thick ribbons of al dente pasta in a deep green, glossy, perfectly emulsified pesto sauce. Had to order a second one of these, was like digging for gold with those toasted pine nuts. Fried pizza with marinara and anchovies was delicious too. The blackened chipolatas with mustard may sound simple but they’re too difficult to resist. Nothing better than a charred chipolata and spicy English mustard on the side. It’s a no BS pub with great food. Worth the visit! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️ Less
