About Me |
|
| I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Welcome to The Cross Kings; a family business born of love of good food and good times. We love people, love Kings Cross, love having fun. If it’s not fun for us, it’s not fun for you. Enough of corporate soullessness! Eat. Drink. Relax. Enjoy. All welcome, 0 – 100 years. Chat to us. Make yourselves at home – there’s even an open fire. We want to give you real food, great coffee (Illy), the best booze and quality service. “Real food in Kings Cross?” we hear you cry.. Yes! It’s true. No tins. No packets. Ingredients bought as locally as possible and cooked fresh every morning in the style of the best peasant dishes from around the world; Hungarian Beef Goulash, Greek Style Chicken Pie, Cullen Skink, Moroccan Lamb Tangine, Creole Chicken and Prawns.. Plus – get this – there is NO ‘vegetarian option’! Austrian 3 Cheese Strudel, Bad Mama Pancakes, Stuffed Roast Aubergine Halves, Festival Lentil Burgers, Mushroom Parmigana.. Vegans eat ya hearts out. We make the dressing, we make the ice-cream, we make the stock. We even make the bread (which you can buy to take away too). Oh, the wine. We don’t make that. Bloody good wine list though. Tempted? Tables can be booked and areas can be rented out for parties and gatherings - We can even create a menu just for you! Give us a call and speak to the chef, Lis. Here’s a Sample Christmas Menu to keep you going.. Situated just a guitar chord from Kings Cross Station in the centre of the biggest regeneration scheme in Europe. (Go Argent!) One bridge up from the beautiful St Pancras Lock on Regents Canal and within rolling distance of clubs like Canvas, Cross, Keys, Egg, Scala.. But why go there? We have our own entertainment! Watch this space for the hottest new venue in Kings Cross.. (Comedy, Film, Cabaret, Quizzes, Fancy Dress, Magicians, Music, Art, Poetry.. THE LOT!) |

My Interests |
|
| We LOVE Kings Cross. We LOVE the traffic, the noise, the sirens at 4am in the morning. We LOVE being woken up by the first train. We LOVE Regeneration Chic: the boots, the broken nails. We LOVE showering twice and still feeling dirty, the perpetual grime. All you hard hats, we want to have your babies. We LOVE doorstep sarnies crammed with succulent roast pork and an apple sauce to die for. We LOVE nursing cups of strong, hot coffee on miserable winter mornings – especially if we had too much to drink the night before. We LOVE Polish builders! We LOVE the congestion charge, the one way system, fighting with posh dudes for cabs in the rain. We LOVE it when your oyster card won’t swipe. We LOVE little freebies. We LOVE real ales, the perfect pint. Enterprise Inns! We LOVE walking into warm, friendly bars on cold, grey days. We LOVE good music, world music, live music. We LOVE the Kings Cross Hot Club! (We would LOVE them to play here every month!) We LOVE not quite knowing when we’re going to open (16th, 20th?). We LOVE a challenge! We LOVE Islington Borough Council, their clean street policy. We LOVE cheerful friendly people - as well as the ones that have just had a fight with the missus. We LOVE being human. We’d LOVE you to hold your yoga/pilates/[please insert] here! Can we join in? We LOVE lost Aussie backpackers. We love socialising, parties, banquets.. We LOVE nibbles, sharing, using your fingers. We LOVE you! We’d LOVE you to come and eat our gorgeous food. Real food made every morning with fresh, seasonal - sometimes organic - well & locally sourced ingredients. Could we cook eels out of the canal? We LOVE creamy chowder, sweet and sour creole chicken, lentil burgers WITH FLAVOUR, salads that aren’t wilting, treacle tart and real Austrian apple strudel, finishing a plate of food and feeling like you’ve eaten. We LOVE vegans. We LOVE vegetarians. We LOVE all you wonderful people on weird diets and with odd intolerances – especially when you give us notice. We LOVE smokers that show consideration for other diners. We LOVE Hungarian Beef Goulash – chunks of lean beef marinaded in red wine, doused in paprika and garlic and cooked until tender with tomato, shallots & sweet red peppers – with wedges of home made bread and butter. WE’d LOVE a family to sit around a table the way they do at home without having to worry about anything. We especially LOVE your well behaved kids. We’d LOVE you to love us. |
