I’ve reviewed Foundry 39 before, and raved about the wonderful burgers they serve, but a new menu saw me going back and being as impressed as I was on my previous visit.

The first impression of Foundry 39 is that it is probably designed for a younger age group than the category I fall into, but this would be a mistake as the relaxed atmosphere and warm welcome would make anybody feel at home.  A lovely summer evening

Once we’d settle into our comfortable booth my dining partner and were the happy recipients of a really good mojito and glass of wine, my dining partner and I were torn between so many tempting dishes on the menu.

Eventually we opted for a the peri peri king prawn pizza and a buttermilk chicken burger.  It’s difficult to judge how spicy the pizza was, because my friend likes particularly hot food and I’m a complete spice wimp so we had to agree to disagree regarding the heat of the dish, but did agree that it was particularly tasty with succulent prawns and a wonderfully light base.

I absolutely love buttermilk chicken and was delighted by my chunk of moist, deep fried chicken, with beautiful crisp batter.

We chose side orders of salad, which came with a refreshing, light dressing and halloumi fries, served with harissa yogurt, mint and pomegranate seeds.  I signed up to the halloumi fan club a number of years ago, but having tasted the combination deep frying with the freshness of the yogurt and mint and warmth of harissa, I’m now a life long member.

I only sampled one cocktail on the night of my visit as I was heading to another event that evening, but judging by the one I did have, I’ll be back to prop up the bar sometime soon!
