Do you work in Parliament, and if you do, do you think the Jerk Chicken is worth the legendary levels of hype?

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

📍Bellamys, 1 Parliament Street

💰£4.50

🍴Vegetable Lasagne with kale, squash and cranberries

👍 8/10 always a safe bet at Bellamys. Slightly overcooked on the crust today but no complaints from me or my colleague!

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

@sremmerriley My colleagues regularly do - this is a veggie account unfortunately!

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

📍River restaurant, House of Lords
💰£5.45
❓Vegetable tagine with roasted chickpea salad and quinoa
👍 8/10. My colleague’s (meat) roast is a 10/10!

This is a formal petition for River to start doing vegetarian roasts on Wednesdays

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

📍 Debate, Portcullis House

💰 £3.70

🍴Miso sesame aubergine and smoky tofu, with brown rice, spring onions and maple soya sauce - with extra veg

💭 7.5/10! Aubergine was slightly cold. Sauce was incredible. Colleague’s pork bap was too floury but was a 6.5/10

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

📍River, Lords Terrace

💰 £6.50

🍴Baked trio of mushroom pasta, with salad and cherry tomato focaccia toast

💭 6/10! A little bit dry, and expensive, although the Lords always is pricey. A nice meal to return to Parliament on. Colleague’s steak was a 7.5/10!

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

Plant based burger in a wholemeal bap with garlic aioli and chips

£5.20 - The Terrace

4/10, wouldn’t order again. Bun was a bit dry :-(

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

Debate - Portobello shakshuka with feta

£3.50

2/10. I can’t lie it tastes great but this is not enough food to keep someone going 😭

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

@ParliScran It’s one of the things I’m most jealous I can’t try :-( my colleagues get it every time and it looks incredible. At least we have the veggie food in debate which nearly always bangs!

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

🚨 My colleague would give it an 8.5, saying that there should have been more salad

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

From Debate - £4.35

Spanakopita with steamed beetroot and chives, and a mixed tomato + olive salad. 9/10

Banging scran - would thoroughly recommend.

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

it was the fabled jerk day as well so the failure was very sad

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

Ras el Hanout tempeh with almond quinoa and toasted coconut salad

The Terrace - £3.50

3/10 - tempeh was very bland and dry, and the grains were undercooked imo :-(

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

@chloepomfret_ no snow then? :-(

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

Buttered tarragon and mushroom sausages served with chips and baked beans

River - £5.20

It was fine. It was a bit dry (mayo couldn’t save it, unfortunately) so it gets a 6/10 from me :-(

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

@joshua_go1dman I’ll take you there next week for the Wednesday roast it’s inSANE

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

Spiced paneer and naan burger, served with curry fries and curry sauce.

River restaurant, Lords - £5.20!

A strong 7/10 from me. Way too many condiments on the burger but flavours were good. Spices balanced well.

Colleagues concur with 6s and 7s!

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

@chloepomfret_ i believe bellamys does in fact serve mostly tories

[Rt Hon Scran @RtHonScran]

Tofu and kale filo scroll with pickled radish, lemon and spring onion mayo

Bellamys - £3.90 (added orange)

Didn’t have high hopes but it was lovely, kale and tofu were cooked well and the mayo was a highlight, very fresh flavour. A respectable 7.5/10
