We were running an errand in the west end and had the opportunity to try General Public for lunch. A little after 1:00, it was less than half-full. The interior is lovely, with lots of greens and wood. The menu is upscale British-ish and generally good, although there were some issues with execution.
The cocktails were fabulous:
- Eton Fizz was a riff on Eton mess and had gin, tonka bean, housemade Eton cordial, cream, lemon, egg white - great, fun, lots of fluff on top.
- Night School included cognac, fenugreek, coffee, sweet vermouth, chocolate, and a white chocolate smear on the outside - amazing, very oxidative caramel tones.
We started with the Curried Lamb Tartare - supple meat, kashmiri spice, curry mayo, mint dollops, and served with poppadom - great flavours.
Next up was Popcorn Clams And Mussels, which came with mayo infused with Colman’s mustard - the shellfish were fresh and sweet, but the batter was a bit oily.
Better was the Fried Pig’s Head Terrine, which came with grainy mustard and a baby kale salad - the headcheese was salty, porky, and fried without being extra oily.
We also tried the Breakfast Sandwich, which had ham, silky egg (kind of a patty), hashbrown patty, red leicester queso, and pickled onion - delicious overall, but also a bit oily from the hash brown.
We split the Banoffee Pie with a white chocolate ganache on top - remarkably not sweet, fresh banana inside, and super concentrated burnt sugar caramel, with a little chocolate. Worth having repeatedly.
And they had decaf Sam James to wash it down.
Overall, probably worth another try to have more cocktails and other dishes that aren’t deep fried.

I was there in September: we split the breakfast sandwich because it was… a lot ( had it with some other dishes: I do remember really liking the big salad). We both loved it though. I’m a big banoffee fan so now I definitely want to go back!

I had dinner there last month and really enjoyed the Trout Tartare - very much akin to a Grey Gardens crudo.
