Our first 6 months since opening Ed’s has been absolutely amazing and we feel continually priviledged to serve food that we are so proud of to customers who (like us!) really care about what they eat and where their food comes from. We thank all our valued and growing number of customers who continue to humble us with their complimentary comment cards every visit, we love you So we hope to see you back very soon for dinner; remember we take the Taste card in the week (Tuesday to Thursday) and are still running the ever packed out (so book in advance!) “All You Can Eat Ribs and Wings Thursday Blow Outs”.

Just wanted to let people know who may still be thinking about taking all the stress out of Christmas by having lunch out this year that we still have a few tables available for Christmas Day and also the gala dinner for New Year’s Eve!

We have a tempting Christmas menu for a very reasonable £55 per person and the gala dinner is only £60 per person and includes a fabulous 3 course menu and a glass of prosecco on arrival.

There are 2 sittings to choose from on Christmas day, 12/12.30pm and 3/3.30 pm, just email info@edswoodfiregrill.co.uk or call 020 8460 2346 to enquire and come and join in the festivities with us at Ed’s!

The 5.30pm parade will be going down East Street so why not come in and enjoy a warming meal or a cocktail or 2  as the parade goes past? Find out more about the parade and the routes here.

Have fun!

We have a traditional homemade pie on the blackboards this week which we know is going to go down a real storm, it’s absolutely gorgeous (read more about our new pies below). This week we have:

We will be serving the pies all week, not just at the weekend, so if you can’t make it in over the next few days then why not pop in for dinner next week to try them out?

A new product from our fantastic meat supplier ‘The Rare Breed Meat Company’ – a smoked pork chop served with sweet and sour red cabbage and roast potatoes.

Wow, sounding good… and we can’t wait to share our lovingly prepared specials dishes with you, see you over the weekend!

We were shown around the farm and among the highlights of the visit (apart from all going “aaahhhhhhhhh” at the very vocal pigs) was seeing this ENOURMOUS Limousine bull, he needed a bit of encouragement to get up but when he did we could see the farmer wasn’t joking when about his weight, one whole tonne!

This bull’s calves are what we serve in our restaurant and it made us all really proud to see such a big and healthy steer. The turkeys and geese on the farm were all running around being noisy and full of life when we got back to the farm shop to stock up for our dinners, Ivano out head chef took quite a shine to them

It really made such a difference to see the animals on the farm with room to roam and leading the best quality of life, we know that means the meat that comes to us will be of the highest standard, and that’s something we will never compromise on.

Our visit was educational and enlightening and it was really great to see the people behind the meat that we are so proud to serve Have a look at some more of my photos below…

Luckily we found some beautiful fresh large prawns and a fantastic piece of swordfish, Scallops will have to wait until next week! After that we headed over to Smithfield meat market and got some great racks of Welsh Lamb which will be great with some fresh, seasonal purple sprouting broccoli and roast new potatoes.

We’ve just got back and Head Chef  Paolo has just knocked up this tasty sample to show you how the prawns will be presented…Hope to see you down this weekend to try them out!

I’ll definitely take loads of photos and you can keep up to date on what happened (and whether Mat managed to avoid the cow pats!) on the new Ed’s Blog.

Another new appearance on the weekly programme is our Thursday Night Blow Out, with All You Can Eat Ribs and Wings for a seriously good value £14.95 per person!

Our famous baby back pork ribs are marinated and slow cooked all day to ensure you  experience the amazing melt-in-your-mouth texture, seriously rich flavours and very very sticky fingers (eating with your hands is the only way to do it – don’t worry, finger bowls come as standard!).

Your meal will be accompanied by endless fries and coleslaw too…

A brilliant way to start your weekend celebrations early, come down and check it out! (As ever on our busy nights, booking ahead avoids disappointment).

See you soon

Our Head Chef Ivano and Executive Chef Paolo were bleary eyed but excited this morning at 4am when they found themselves once again at the famous Billingsgate Fish Market in London choosing some gorgeous fresh fish to serve up for the lucky diners of Ed’s over the weekend.

Our a la carte menu has a strong focus on excellent cuts of steak and high quality burgers which taste absolutely amazing cooked in our Josper indoor bbq, but because this special oven seals in juices and flavours so quickly and gives such a unique taste, fish dishes cooked in the Josper are also absolutely gorgeous (anyone who’s tried our seabass will testify to this!).

Our first weekend specials were plates of lovingly prepared meaty monkfish steaks, mussels and clams. They were flying out of the kitchen; we’d sold out by 9pm! The chefs took note and will buy double this week, look at them go!

It’s official, the specials are a hit so get in there quick this weekend and come and join us for the freshest menu in Bromley.
