From Norwood Green to South Bank

Saturday, April 26th , 2025

Donabe is the clay pot rice restaurant that has replaced kaiseki restaurant Hannah, which is moving to Stratford. It is a much more casual affair than Hannah, but there is still considerable care and attention in the cooking, such as the better than normal tempura and the high quality ingredients being used here. This is all at a modest price point.

The Plough in Norwood Green (essentially Southall) is a historic pub that has been taken over by Dipna Anand of The Brilliant. On the Sunday lunch that we went there was no a la carte menu, just a Sunday roast which was pretty ordinary. I suspect it is better on other days when there is an a la carte menu that mixes pub staples like fish and chips with the odd Indian dish.
