Charlotte Ivers enjoyed some inventive Thai-fusion cooking upstairs at Borough Market’s Globe pub – “the precise location of Bridget Jones’s flat in the films”, she pointed out.
But, she advised, you have to pick and choose your dishes carefully. Pluses included mutton curry, poached white fish, pork hung ley curry and “pleasingly hot” Shan meatballs. Not so successful were chilli margarita, coconut choc-chip bao bun and white corn ribs with coconut relish, all of which were too sweet, while Sussex veg som tam was too wet.
Charlotte was also amused at the menu’s description of the Shan meatballs as “Ikea-style” and “cola-glazed”: “Is it not the ultimate triumph of globalisation to sit in rainy Britain and eat Coke-glazed Thai chicken balls inspired by a Swedish furniture shop?” she mused.
