The Little Beast

The dishes from the writeups

• Lamb korma pie

  “The butchery roots come through by way of a spicy lamb korma pie drenched in gravy that looks like melted coffee ice cream and tastes like Sunday night.”

• Meat pie

  “For a plate that presents in several tones of muted brown, the flavors of the chef Kevin Smith’s meat pie really sing.”

• Pork chop

  “Or arguably the greatest pork chop of late, with a blowtorched-like char calmed by savory jus and grilled nectarines.”

• Scotched eggs

  “Between the presence of scotched eggs, a soundtrack of sing-along rock classics, and a staff eager to dole out bonus gravy pours, Little Beast fits in effortlessly among Ballard’s lowkey special occasion scene.”
