OXO Tower, Southbank
Hi guys, hope you’re having an amazing day. I thought I would
do another restaurant review for you. For those of you who watch made in Chelsea,
I am sure you are familiar with the OXO Tower @ the South bank. From what I can remember the girls are often
seen bitching about each other in this fancy restaurant.

The OXO tower from what I understand is owned by Harvey nick’s
(correct me if I am wrong). I have always wanted to go to this restaurant,
along with 20 Fenchurch street, and sushi samba when it comes to those view the
whole of London while you eat type of restaurants. You may have noticed Shard isn't
on the list, I don’t know why but I was never really excited about it when it
opened, I still am not excited, I really couldn't really tell you guys why it doesn't
appeal to me.

So that in mind, I’ll have to tell you about the amazing
deal I got. Places like these are quite pricey, when it comes to food I never
mind paying a lot but due to working part time I have to budget my money if I want
to continue to save up. This is the reason why I love set menu’s. Although the
menu is limited. You know how much you will be paying before you even get there
which is great because then you know to keep that money aside.
So last month I was on Facebook and you know you have those sponsored
posts these days. Well there was one for the OXO Tower for £30 for a three
course meal + a cocktail. I was like WHAT??? NO WAY!! So I clicked on the link
and searched through and through to see if there were any catches or small
prints. The only catch was it ended on the 11th of February and that
you could only have this deal between 3-6pm and then 9-11pm I think. £30 for a
three course and a drink I can’t complain. So I messaged my friend and convinced
him to come with me and booked the table for 5.30.
As we arrived we walked up to the desk, the lovely gentleman
at the desk was so kind and welcoming he checked our reservation and took our
coats. He then asked another lovely lady to show us our seats, and explained
what the cocktail had. I asked if there was a non-alcoholic version and she immediately
said she could arrange that for me and it wouldn't be a problem. Another waiter
then came and took our food order, he was also very nice.
The menu was as follows
STARTERS
*Roasted butternut squash soup
* Goats Cheese, honey roasted figs, walnuts, bitter leaf
Salad
*Braised oxtail and pearl barley
MAINS
*Risotto mushroom, Bean curd, chestnut, beetroot puree
(vegan)
* Roasted Cod, Cuttlefish and butter bean stew, parsley
aioli
* Slow-cooked duck leg, lentils, winter vegetables.
DESSERTS
*Sticky toffee Pudding, Rum Sauce, Clotted Cream
*Rhubarb, baked custard, ginger nuts
* Dark chocolate Tart, Peanut butter ice-cream
COCKTAIL
* I can’t remember; it was something to do with cranberry’s
or some berries, some vodka maybe. I'm not sure. I had the non-alcoholic version,
but I think it had raspberry’s in it. Below L-R Winter cocktail and winter mock-tail
I have to say, the food was lovely. I had the roasted butternut
squash soup, roasted Cod, the dark chocolate tart and peanut butter ice-cream.
