The Victims: Feathers, Julie
The Damage: 36 quid each. Blame the wine.
I should have been in wine class, but instead, I chose some hands-on experience. Actually, I left work too late to make it to wine class. So instead I met Feathers and Julie at The Hoxton Apprentice.
For those of you who haven’t heard of the Apprentice before, what they do is train disadvantaged youths to work in the restaurant industry. A pound is added to your bill to support their efforts.
We enjoyed a table outside in the FANTASTIC weather, along with a lovely bottle of Rose. So funny how in my country, if I ordered a bottle of Rose, everyone would look at me funny! Not so in the UK, or at the Hoxton Apprentice.
Julie and Feathers were enjoying some hummous and pita when I arrived, and they we threw in an order of baba ganoush. Feathers had ordered a tasty-looking entree, which I believe was chicken.
Service throughout was VERY friendly and sweet. Very eager-to-please. A little perhaps too eager–they asked us a million times if we were okay–but that’s not a bad thing.
The Verdict: I’d go back.
