HOTSPOT: The Soar Point
EN
My last but not least meal
on my final day in
Say that in your best
British accent (mine failed).
We had fish and chips at a
pub restaurant The Soar Point.
Since my British accent isn’t
good I went making my own kind of fun word twists and teased my British
friend W. who cringed each time I said: chips and fish or fries and fish. lol
sorry not sorry.
And for some reason I keep
pronouncing sour instead soar in The Soar Point.
Anyways, on to the food.
The pretty colorful menu and
the dish options were screaming at me ‘pick me! Pick me!’ because there were
so many delicious sounding options. But I restrained and only ordered fish
(cod) & chips and also because I had to catch my train back to
The food arrived and
presentation wise it looks really appetizing and pub-ish as the fish and the
chips is served on a tin tray. Even our sauces and cutlery came in this cool
tin bucket.
The fish and chips were such
a portion that I couldn’t finish it completely sadly but oh man how crispy was
that fish batter!
Along with the relaxed and
modern pub sphere I really can’t find any faults at The Soar Point. It was
sad that I had to catch that train back to

Mijn laatste maaltijd op
mijn laatste dag in Leicester is eindelijk het eten van de geroemde ‘fish and
chips’ oftewel gefrituurde kabeljauw met friet. Ik besef dat ik op de dagen
dat ik in UK ben best wel veel gefrituurde dingen achter mijn kiezen heb
gehad maar een eetmens (en vreetzak) als ik gaan nou eenmaal hand in hand
samen met lekker eten. En hoe kun je fish and chips, het ultieme Britse
gerecht overslaan als je in het Verenigd Koninkrijk bent?
We hadden fish and chips in een typische pub restaurant genaamd: The Soar Point.
Aangezien mijn Britse
accent niet keurig is, maakte ik mijn eigen grappige draai aan en plaagde hiermee
mijn Britse vriend W. die ineenkrimpt elke keer dat ik zei: chips and fish or
fries and fish’. lol sorry not sorry.
En raar genoeg bleef ik
steeds ‘sour’ wat zuur betekent in het Engels zeggen in plaats van Soar van
The Soar Point.
Anyways, over naar het eten
toe.
Het mooie kleurrijke menu
schreeuwde ‘neem mij! Neem mij!', want
oh-oh wat waren er heerlijke klinkende opties aanwezig. Maar ik hield me in en
bestelde alleen fish & chips en daarnaast moest ik mijn trein terug naar
London niet missen.
Het eten kwam en de
presentatie ervan zag er super smakelijk en pub-ish uit. De fish and chips is
geserveerd op een tinnen lade. Zelfs onze sauzen en bestek kwamen in deze
coole tinnen emmer.
De fish and chips was van
grote portie dat ik niet helemaal kon opeten helaas maar oh man hoe
knapperige was dat vis beslag!
Samen met de ontspannen en
moderne pub sfeer is moeilijk om fouten te traceren bij The Soar Point. Het
was jammer dat ik die trein moest halen anders zou ik graag nog een uur of
twee willen blijven met het juiste dessert.

Yummm! Looks so good <3
ReplyDeleteAHHH! I would totally just throw any food restrictions I have out the window when heading into any fish & chip or fried seafood type place! I really love fish & chips but rarely eat it or make it! I usually would have to leave chips because the fish is much more important! Glad that this place was great! :)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! the food looks most delicious! yum!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had fun on your time there and was able to eat a lot of the staple food! I'll take an extra extra extra amount of chips. ;)
ReplyDeleteYum! the food looks so good

Looks super yummy! I love a good food post! As soon as I heard you took a London trip, my mind wandered to fish and chips - it's awesome to see the real thing up close and personal! Happy eating!
ReplyDeleteMmm I never went to The Soar Point when I was in the UK for the summer a while ago, but it looks darn delicious. I miss proper fish & chips myself, I'm sure there's gotta be a place around here that can do a decent enough job of making some. Looks fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious. I love chips and this definitely gives me a warm and homely English vibe. I wish this was my interior of my room x
