As unlikely couplings go,surf and turf usually makes as much sense as the cruffin or turducken.

Crunchy,buttery crumpets are paired perfectly with Balmain bug,lemon mayonnaise and chives,while the intensity of wild boar rillettes is cut with mustard and pickled onions.
Snack-sized options suit the small dining room,with its wood floors and vintage tiles,so it’s no surprise then that super-fluffy sourdough flatbread with sumac-whipped labne and burnt butter is something of a signature dish.
Kicking off next door with a local lager at Que Sera’s dive-style sister bar Morty’s Joint can be an even better way to start. (Morty’s fried chicken is pretty banging,too.)
