Whale & Ale Restaurant Review:
WHALE & ALE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION. The ambience at this San Pedro pub is authentically British, with plenty of oak panels and brass fittings. Roast lamb, beef and seafood dishes like classic fish ‘n’ chips are reliably good, but vegetables are sometimes overcooked and pastry items occasionally suffer from sitting too long. Roasted prime rib comes in small (Anne Boleyn), medium (Whale of a Cut) and large (Henry VIII) portions. Traditional items include shepherd's pie made with filet mignon and leg of lamb, as well as bangers and mash. The venue does a serviceable job of acknowledging India's influence on English cuisine through the likes of grilled tandoori lamb chops and various curries. There are also some atypical selections such as twice-roasted duckling in Cumberland sauce. The best desserts are the sherry trifle and the sticky toffee pudding. After dinner, plan to enjoy a pint of good draught beer and, if you're here Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, a little music.
