Tell me why I’m only just using @opentableuki properly now… #Ad
Booked @joiabattersea in about 10 seconds and ended up with lunch overlooking Battersea Power Station - they’ve got a £34 set menu for three courses, which is kind of a steal for a spot like this.
The croquettes were very good (properly melty, no notes), and the Iberico pork was a highlight.
But the bit I’ll actually be doing again - every time you book through OpenTable, you earn points, which you can use for money off your next meal.
Book, eat, money off, repeat.
