My I's are dotted, my T's are crossed and my boxes are ticked. Rules fulfills every dining experience one could hope to combine in one venue. As you enter, it's like a portal back in time, the swish of waiters gliding effortlessly between oak cabinets and antique ornaments, the hubbub of people indulging in culinary scrummyness, the like of which it is now rare to find. We had reserved a table and arrived a tad early, wishing to sample the delights of Rules upstairs cocktail bar, and the Maitre D' sorted us out with style, we where instantly transported back into a "Raffles Club" style atmosphere, surrounded by Palms and Rubber Plants, with glass skylights and elegant lighting. The Cocktail Waiter brought over a drinks menu and we perused it, each finding a tipple to suit. I went "Full James Bond" with a Vodka Martini, the ladies went for something more fruity. Service was prompt and polite and we where able to relax whilst waiting for our table downstairs. I even managed to fit in a "Gin and That" before we made our way down to the dining room. Again, service was impeccable, we perused the menu, which was a trip back to good old English Cooking, with a selection of traditional dishes served with a selection of accompanying veggies. I had the Steak and Kidney Suet Pudding, both the ladies the Chicken and Leek Pie. Creamed Celeriac, Buttered Cabbage, Creamy Mash and Dauphinoise Potatoes to accompany. My Suet Pud was a work of art and I chuckled as I remembered my former Royal Navy Chef Daughter referring to Suet Puds as "Babies Heads". The suet outer was just right, soaking up the rich gravy and encasing the tender meat that just fell apart under the touch of a knife. The ladies where both looking shell shocked at the size of the pie, upon inspection, I realised that they failed my "Pie Test" as I am a bit pedantic with Pie, and always ask....Has your Pie got a floor and walls, or mereley a Roof? These where "Roof" only, but I think if they had the full pastry works, the ladies would have been defeated. I was musing as to how the Chef had managed to fit what appeared to be an entire chicken and a wonderful gravy inside his pie, but luckily I got to sample some as my good lady was defeated. If I thought the Steak and Kidney was delightful, the Chicken Pie was equally top notch. After demolishing the mains, we where given enough time for the dust to settle before the Pudding Menu arrived. Again, not a massive choice, but something for all tastes. My wife went for the Sponge Pudding and Custard, her sister the Baked Alaska and I went for the Cheese Selection. With a top notch glass of Port to accompany. Again, not to long to wait, Puds arrived and looked divine, my Cheese and Crackers arrived and unlike other establishments where they scrimp on the crackers, there was a nice selection of cheese and a great choice and quantity of mixed crackers. All in all, a wonderful experience, with service you don't see anymore. Staff who where enthusiastic and proud of what they where doing. Polite and with a nice touch of humour and certainly not stuffy or snobby. We where just ordinary folk, but it was a pleasure to visit Rules, wear a bow tie and a jacket, whilst having a trip back in a "Culinary Tardis" to great dishes of yesterday, well prepared and served with love. Well done Rules.
