The Beaufort

Update 27/1/2019: The Beaufort has, sadly, shut downwardly together with been replaced past times a pizza place.

September 18, 2012

As if the Gasometer weren't constant temptation enough, roughly other watering hole battered together with deep-fried inward Americana has popped upwards close our abode. Michael spotted a review of the two-month-old Beaufort inward Broadsheet together with nosotros met upwards for an early on dinner that real night.

The bill of fare is an economical unmarried page, headed upwards past times a gain of burgers, next through to Buffulo wings together with a tofu salad, together with then finishing alongside the pocket-size materials - corn chips, corn cobs, slaw, chips, onion rings together with deep-fried pickles. 

Vegetarian options are marked together with they fifty-fifty specify that the girl burger (a chickpea together with spinach patty alongside rocket together with spicy mayo on a bun, $10) contains egg - this bodes good for vegans elsewhere on the menu! Gluten-free items aren't marked, but at that spot are coeliac-friendly buns available on request.

Michael insisted that nosotros sample those deep-fried pickles ($5) - the sour together with watery discipline is a squeamish contrast for the hot crisp batter, together with they're groovy dippers for ranch dressing.

I watch the leftover ranch was also the best dressing for my side of onion rings ($2.50 alongside a burger)  - hither the onion adds the faintest hint of savouriness together with construction to a volume of batter.

We preferred ketchup alongside Michael's handcuts (also $2.50 when accompanied past times a burger), which showed hope but were a chip underdone. His Veggie Sloppy Joe ($9) lived upwards to its name, spilling soy mince together with jalapenos alongside every bite.

With the sides eaten I unwrapped my Philly Cheese Fake ($8), a white curlicue all steamed upwards alongside the rut of mushrooms, capsicum, onion together with melted provolone. It's a stellar agency to mock meat without mock-meat.

We liked the Beaufort's mixed drinkable listing likewise - we're going through a chip of a ginger beer stage correct now, together with there's 3 ways to spike it here. At a dissimilar fourth dimension of the calendar week I powerfulness fifty-fifty stretch to 1 of the recommended strong drinks.

The music's loud together with the lights are depression - the Beaufort is arguably to a greater extent than bar than pub. (We'll function out it to our pub social club to teach by that 1 out!) But at that spot aren't many bars or pubs that create nutrient this inexpensive together with charming.
