I've just been down at Tramp, helping owner Haldun, manager Andre and Chef Tushar with a wine tashting (hic). I'm not sure how much help I was with that, but was glad to get an update on progress as I haven't seen Haldun since the photoshoot a few weeks back.
They shared the first draft menu. Let's not put too fine a point on it - it looks amazing. With Haldun's permission, I'm sharing below a sample of the starters/sharing plates. I can't wait!
Does that look promising or what!

I don't need meat for any course in particular. It was an observation on the overall approach of the menu (starters and shared plates) shown at this point. I am making a generalization here, but if you were to look at starters/small plates at other not-vegetarian restaurants, >50% would contain meat or seafood. Therefore, I think this is of note.
Let's not criticise one another, please. Let's just celebrate this new restaurant and all enjoy it in our own ways!
The following statement is in no way a criticism.
'I was about ask if it was vegetarian, then noticed chorizo as the sole meat ingredient.'
No Jon. It's not. You haven't criticised anyone. Your comment on the menu was a fair personal comment.
It was this comment I was referring to: "but the balance looks a little off right now".
For clarity, I'm not accusing you of criticising anyone.
Fair enough. I would correct it to say
'of note is that the balance of dishes between meat vs. fish. vegetarian leans more towards vegetarian than is typical of a not-vegetarian restaurant'.
Whether that difference to what is typical is good or bad is an individual's opinion.
Yeah sorry I can't resist. You only need to go into one of the many Turkish restaurants we have around here to eat as much meat as you want. I for one want something different and I welcome more vegetarian options!!!
Really hungry now - is anyone else having an early lunch after reading this?
Butternut (from Harringay Foods) soup with spelt sourdough from Harringay Local Store here.
