Nice'n'Sleazy

The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.

Sleazy’s is a legend in this town, a must-visit for indie kids and elder statesmen of the music/arts scene, and its shabby interior can be forgiven, such is the atmosphere. Be it organic cider, white Russians or Buckfast, your tastes are catered for. In 2011, Where the Monkey Sleeps (a nearby sandwich café of high regard) took over the kitchen, and it’s exciting stuff – the ‘stew of the day’ might feature pheasant, partridge and venison; the ‘sandwich special’ could be be pulled brisket, and they put sweet chilli jam on their nachos to vibrant effect. But the showstopper is the burgers – made to order, all seasoned differently (cameos from vodka and bourbon), seared and then finished in the oven. They’re juicy and crumbly, with an impressive depth of meaty flavour courtesy of some secret ingredients. It feels like thought and care goes into the food. Even the chips, triple-cooked then dusted with citrus rind, chilli, sage and rosemary, stand out from the crowd.

• High point: Gourmet burgers in sexy surroundings
• Low point: Less sexy, more messy, when you eat one

They don't mention in their website/ gig promos on the List that if you turn up alone you wont be allowed in. Charming - kick a guy when he's down! :-(
