It has been almost a year since my previous/first post, which is atrocious I know but life has been hectic! My passion for food remains intact however so I decided to kick-start this blog again. First on the list for 2014 is The Food Warren, a quaint takeaway cart located on the end of Victoria Street which is conveniently a stones throw from my office.

Greek Beans - A warming stew-esque production. Beans, herbs and a feta cheese base served hot. Tangy and delicious.
Sausage Hotpot - What it says on the tin but served with great quality sausages that pack a bunch of flavour and the hearty tomato sauce is always perfectly seasoned.
Scotch Eggs - Wednesday is scotch egg day. Hard boiled eggs hand wrapped in homemade sausage meat and crisped up in a pan. Best to buy early on whilst they're nice and warm!
My review today however is about a dish which blew all of their other dishes out of the water - and that's no easy feat! Slow Cooked Beef and Coconut Curry with Rice:

| Giant portion of the best curry in town |
The curry was absolutely brilliant, it really blew me away, I literally spent 60 seconds just absorbing the smell - whilst receiving comments from about 15 people about how great it smelt. The coconut flavour was well balanced against the backdrop of spices and the beef was tender and flavoursome. I had a pleasant surprise in the form of chunks of potato which melted in the mouth yet retained enough bite not to distort the texture of the curry. The rice, as has come to be expected of the Food Warren, was well cooked and plentiful.
The scores on the doors:
Food: 10/10
Great from the moment I pulled it out of the bag, a heavenly smell followed by a satisfying, well put together and delicious curry.
Atmosphere: n/a
Not a restaurant per-se but the cart is nicely presented and clean.
Service: 10/10
Rob and Claire, a brother and sister team who run The Food Warren, are sure to make you feel welcome and offer some helpful hints if you're unsure on what to have on the day.
Value for Money: 9/10
At £4 for a meat dish this isn't the cheapest lunch-time offering on the high street but the quality of the food is without a doubt superior to other offerings of a similar nature.
So if you're in the area (and it's by Temple Meads train station so you should make the effort if you're nearby) and looking for a hearty and tasty lunch then try The Food Warren. You won't be disappointed.
Over and out
