Another week, another pub – this time The Bridge House in Little Venice.
And another week, another slow commute to work. Another person who hasn’t worked out how to use a ticket barrier. Another person who switches ticket barrier lane to push in front of people.
How did I used to do this 5 days a week?
Anyway. Pub time. The Bridge House is a proper pub, and actually has a couple of half-decent IPAs on. Alas…working. Granted I am allowed to drink, and heck I’ve been known to drink at my desk, but I tend to eschew.
There’s both an extensive main menu, along with a sandwich and drink menu – and it was the latter I plumped for, as £12.50 for a sandwich, fries and an apple juice is actually quite reasonable value for 2025.
The fries were a bit of a mix, they were freshly cooked but also slightly over-cooked, some had a satisfying crisp to them, others were a bit floppy.
For the sandwich itself, the ciabatta was nicely toasted – though I’d suggested supermarket ciabattas can have a nice texture.
Generally the ingredients seemed fresh, at least the rocket, avocado and tomato – maybe the chicken was from a pre-cooked packet, it was of that quality.
The bacon was smoked, and that was probably the highlight of the meal.
It was all a bit underwhelming, but pleasant enough for £12.50 – and the apple juice was good.
Rating of 6.30. Comparing a sandwich with a salad probably isn’t the best comparison I can make, but I’d go to The Union again for their salad, I doubt I’ll be back to The Bridge House. But I stress it seemed like decent value…so there is that to it.
