We started with crispy pig’s head, an idea that scared my squeamish pal Livvi so I was able to guzzle a delightful square of the stuff in its entirety.
A wonderful thing it was: a bit of crunch, soft, slow-cooked meat and a dollop of piccalilli enlivened with passion fruit. It’s the ice-breaking canapé of 2026 that should be on the menu of every Berko drinks party.
It came on a plate with venison tartare which was rendered so soft that, served on a hash brown three times its volume, any flavour of deer was subsumed.

✍️ 'I found it to be simply, utterly, emphatically and resoundingly normal. Which is even more important' | William Sitwell
'Tiella leaps out from the pack, reminding me of the sort of Italian restaurants my father would take me to in London in the Eighties. They were unobtrusive, they were busy and we had fun. And I don’t remember what we ate'
'Tiella may be big news for some. For me �it’s just a simple, busy, neighbourhood restaurant. Which, frankly, is really all �a great restaurant should hope to be'

🗣️ 'So much about Lapin, in Bristol, is appealing - a sensuous menu and a strong wine list'
'But the service is delivered with all the aggressive brutality of La Poule au Pot'
