There it is on the menu. My dish. My invention. Except you can’t actually invent food. Only God can do that, and Ronald McDonald. You can try to keep recipes secret, like Coca-Cola or Indian restaurateurs who’d kill their chefs if they tried to go to other kitchens, but as a rule of trotter, food...
Folks. I can now confirm that the match on wednesday is 100% on at quinn's and it will be screened in the piano bar from 19:30. This is a kind gesture of goodwill from mr & mrs quinn as i told her that there would easily be more hibs supporters turning up than arsenal fans. Get there...
Folks in and around London Town. Sad news to relay. Our Front of House contact, Vincenti has unfortunately departed Quinn's. His replacement, Kevinski has informed me that the TV rights are not what they were and the same feed is being shown in the Piano Bar, Orangery and Brasserie. There...
Will there be a schedule and menus posted up soon?
I'm unexpectedly going to be in town this weekend. Is Quinn's showing this or are Hibbies with time on their hands heading anywhere central for this??
Folks - London Hibs are 25 years old this summer and Mike has kindly offered to produce a run of 25th Anniversary Commemorative Fleece Jackets. As some will know, Mike works in the rag trade and our previous embroidered merchandise has been of the highest quality (OK - it might be hand-stitched...
Hi folks, Fairly new Hibee in London (new to London, not Hibs). What pubs would you recommend to watch the semi final in this weekend? I'm likely to be fairly central come midday.
The soil is splashed with colour. Crocuses unfurl themselves into stubby tufts of violet. Pierre plucks a flower: those spindly stamens shoot from the heart, he drops the saffron into the basket. Repeat ad infinitum. Pierre, one of the most talented French chefs working in Britain, has just...
Nominative determination is the serendipity of having your name choose your job for you. As in the oft-quoted article from the Magazine of the Institute of Urologists written by Messrs Splatt and Weedon. Nobody remembers what they wrote about; it was never going to be as interesting as their names....
Quinn’s in the 1990s was as close as you could get to a perfect restaurant. Back then, it didn’t have the best food in the world, or even in London; it wasn’t the prettiest or the most sumptuous room; it was a long way from having the finest wine list; it didn’t offer a view. But it had that thing,...
I will be in London on 8th March and was wondering where a pub might be showing the cup game. I'm staying in the premier inn at tower bridge Thanks in advance
Donald - it's G here. Can you send me the London Hibs database by email as my HD collapsed and I've lost all email contacts and databases. Thanks - Pierre also has a copy but he's filming in Monaco for his new restaurant venture that he's concentrating on.
This year, Christmas week is Senegalese week at Quinn's. Why Senegalese? Don't ask me but seemingly Pierre is training an African chef for another new business venture in Monaco and the week's staff are half-white, half black, with the blacker half being some of the most arrestingly beautiful...
As attendees at Quinn’s on Sunday will know, Mr and Mrs Quinn recently received their ‘Best French Brasserie in London Award’ at a gala ceremony organised and sponsored by L'Équipe and the Egon Ronay Foundation. While often seen dotting around the restaurants like kids toys with defective...
This was posted on the London Hibs messageboard - but for those turning up for the first time...get to Quinn's for 12pm prompt, as the match will only be screened in the piano bar and seating is strictly limited. ...
It looks like old-style pubs have gone the way of crinolines and Ford Capris. For the last two years, a pub – the Hand in Flowers in Marlow – was voted our best restaurant at the National Restaurant Awards. I’ll say that again; the best restaurant in the country isn’t even a restaurant. The...
Was great to see some of the "old faces" for the Hamilton game. I'm still in Londinium but the countdown has begun.... Should finish there on the 15th Aug. London Hibs boys heading Quinns for the game - will it be on? cheers Mr T.
Are quinns screening the game tonight? And if so, is anyone going? If like to make this my first appearance at this very fine sounding establishment :-)
Food is the oldest, most enduring measure of status, wealth, power and aspiration. Whether it’s spraying magnums of Cristal over Moldovan hookers at the Cinquante Cinq inSt Tropez, or watching a tiger being killed, then eating it, as I’m told is now all the rage among Chinese billionaires, food is...
Hi there, I've been a Hibee for over 10 years, since my uncle took me to a derby when I was 14 and I got hooked! I live in Brighton these days and would be keen on getting involved with the London SC (I spend most weekends in London). It would be great if someone could share some advice on...
Still down here - where r folks meeting up Quinns?
It's on Alba (is it available down South?) 7:45 Tuesday anyone got plans? I've re-aquatinted with Londinium after an 11 year break so it's been a while but I'm down for 3 months and should be staying in Paddington. If Quinns are showing reckon it'd be too far what with the strike due - all...
Sure, Paris is only two hours on the Eurostar, but with bistros and brasseries as good as Quinn's, why leave London? Why do we rate this restaurant so highly? Because it’s a place we’re happy to return to time after time, and also somewhere we feel utterly confident in recommending to food lovers...
Have The Quinn family got anything organised for Scotland fans for this game?
Staying in London on Monday night, I've been booked in a hotel at Swiss Cottage, any recommendations where to watch the Hibs? Understand Spurs are on sky so all pubs I imagine will be showing that. What about Quinn's in Camden? Don't think that's too far from where I'm staying? Any...
From the crisply ironed tablecloths to the epic cheese ‘chariot’ that gets wheeled out at the end of the meal, Pierre at Quinns sets the North London standard for dyed-in-the-wool French dining without tears and is a ‘refreshing example’ of how it should be done. Francophiles can salivate at the...
Sourcing seasonal ingredients in the depths of winter is never easy for perfectionists like Pierre, but he has scoured Europe-wide to provide us with some sumptuous dishes. Having been invited along to his preview evening last week I can definitely say no-one will be disappointed, and hopefully...
How much is membership to the LHSC? Been meaning to get up Quinns for a while however work always gets in the way!
Is this going ahead this year?
Quinn's has re-opened today after a two week holiday and I'm glad to report that Jean Claude has emailed me through our menu for Friday evening. Regarding Jean Claude, there are a number of things that make or break the reputation of a restaurant, but the two things that do most are the menu...
Firstly, the bad news. The restaurant at Quinn's is closed until January 7th due to Pierre and his team taking their annual holidays. Christmas and New Year falling on a Wednesday dictated that fresh ingredients were at a premium, so rather than hike up prices, it was decided to close the...
The menu is the single most important item in a restaurant. It is its calling card, its advertisement, its mission statement. Menus are pored over minutely by restaurateurs, considered through bottles of wine and cups of coffee. The one bit of a restaurant that is like the theatre is the menu. It’s...
London must have more places to eat than any other comparable city. There are stretches of Camden Town where every shop front has a neon pictogram indicating simple Day-Glo sustenance; a green coffee cup of the sort you never get offered now because it doesn’t hold enough, a ghoulish Chinese duck...
We at London Hibs would disagree on London's best pub, we'd fall out over its finest building, we might never speak again if we sniggered about is greatest borough. There is no doubt we'd argue about cinemas, theatres, operas and ballet, but on one aspect of the glittering capital canon that we'd...
Was speaking to Pierre today about the forthcoming season and he commented “I see that you lost to ze Swedes. I will put some on ze menu”. Speaking of Swedes, did you know that the European Union is stipulating that Cornish pasties can’t be called pasties unless they’re made with swede, and not...
Just found out will be over in London from Canada over the Cup Final weekend. Realise no chance of tickets at this stage, but are London Hibs meeting in Quinn's, or elsewhere to watch the game? Surely everyone is not going to be at Hampden?? Would love to take in the game with some fellow Hibees...
Hi Im a season ticket holder and im in the armed forces and currently based at Northwood in North London. Im going to be stationed here for the next two years and would very much like to come along to any events or days out that you guys may have planned. I cannot be down here for this long...
Must've been an interesting day! :thumbsup:
Afternoon all, I work in London four days a week but first time I've had to find a boozer to watch a Hibs game down here. I live and work in and around the centre and would really appreciate some suggestions on places to go to watch it tonight. Cheers
Does anyone know how many tickets it was per membership for the semi? Or how many it was on General sale per transaction? Travel.. Did anyone get the Megabus coaches up? Great idea for the final if anyones going!
