Posted • Nobody does pub grub like the British, and nobody does elevated, gastro pub grub like...the British. One possible exception that proves the rule in Sydney is Nik Hill - ex Quay, Sepia, The Ledbury (yeah that one), and in-the-know foodie haunt The Old Fitz pub - for those needing an intro. While his time at the Fitz was cut short due to 'creative differences', much to the tears of many a foodie, things happily worked out with lending their space to form the Milan Cricket Club pop-up, which runs till the end of the year.
Think, classic scotch eggs w/oxford sauce, whole hog terrine, raw beef on dripping toast, pig's head schnitty burgers and damn good Yorkshire pud with the lot, one of the best pork dishes I've had this year - AND MORE. All washed down an gin of your choice from the dedicated gin trolley served by waitstaff in plaid - both bowtie and mask - and well, it's all pretty swell, if I don't say so myself. See story highlights for a full desc of everything we had on the night.
While it is a shame that this isn't permanent, I'm not going to chalk it up as a hat trick of posts on closures, as it was always a pop-up to begin with - so get those bookings in! Thanks for helping out with the overordering. Classic foodie trope!
