Taste Of Gujarat, Red Lion St., Richmond Upon Thames (15th March 2011) by thomo

The motely crew gathered for a few at The White Cross in Richmond, namely: Slim Neil, myself, Newts, Zip, GP, Jez & Jim. It was a good humoured evening with the added pleasure of trying an new Curry House.

The White Cross is a great pub, in the summer the terrace with the river views is excellent, in the winter the warm atmosphere inside is perfect. Most appreciated was the Duchars, the Youngs was good and the Golden a refreshingly different flavour.

The Taste of Gujarat was spotted and we courageously ventured forth, upon arrival we were the only customers! We take the role of explorers/pioneers seriously so down we sat, soon joined by parties on 2 other tables. The owners were welcoming & the waitress quite charming. The Kebab Platter was a mountain of well cooked food and the vegetable assortment was admired. Very grim toilet which got a lot of use after 5 pints in The White Cross, topped up with a couple of Cobras. Good food, sweet service, we'll visit again.
