'I thought I had absolutely seen it all when it comes to bonkers pub food'
When I tried a Vimto Camembert loaf and a 'cheesecake kebab' earlier this year, I thought I had absolutely seen it all when it comes to bonkers pub food.
Served on a tray, it is basically a three-course meal and then some, coming in at a whopping 5,237 calories. Considering a signature smoked chicken burger with chips and onion rings costs £10.99, it seems to represent tremendous value at £16.49 . Visually, it's a marvel to behold. The juxtaposition between sweet and savoury on the platter feels so wrong but is so right. Seeing chicken wings atop a bed of popcorn and two doughnuts with cream oozing out, in such close proximity to burgers and chips should not work - but it is utterly tantalising.
If I hadn't read the menu, I would not have been able to make out what the peri-peri chicken was. The bacon left a lot to be desired and while the southern fried fillet was seasoned okay, the whole thing just tasted quite bland. Moving onto the dessert items - the cream doughnuts were delightfully soft. Sadly, the nostalgic novelty of the Sherbert Dip Dab soon wore off and I felt like this was probably overkill. As a minor aside, I also found it odd that there was only one of these, when there was two of everything else.
