i have worked in morden for over 7 years, but have never ventured beyond a handful of eating establishments. i have started this blog, with a view to visiting every vendor of hot grub (excluding global fast food chains like subway and dominos, but including uk fast food chains like gregg's and chicken cottage) within a mile radius of morden tube station.

morden sits at the southern end of the northern line in zone 4. it's in a no man's land between wimbledon (extremely affluent), and mitcham (...not affluent), and is consequently home to people from a broad range of ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. the area is (with the best will in the world) extremely dull. however, this blog will celebrate the mediocrity of this inner london suburb, through food.

Blue Junction - 15.10.2014

EATERY: Blue Junction, 1 Crown Lane, Morden, Surrey, SM4 5DA
FOOD ORDERED: Spicy Lamb Seehk Burger with Fries


  


"Naan more black"

The Blue Junction is an Curry restaurant themed Wine Bar, or maybe it's the other way around. I'd visited the BJ once before, a few years back, and was not massively impressed. But a work lunch takes me back there on this occasion.

The restaurant itself was minimalist, but modern, and clean too. Much like Morden, the lunch menu doesn't offer anything overly exciting. Having been a bit curried out recently, I decided to go for the east meets west "fusion" lunch option of a spciy lamb kebab burger with chips. The burger patty itself was moist and flavourful - real quality munch, though the bun it was served in was cheap and a bit disappointing. The fries were decent and the coke was cold. No complaints there. I would have liked some more exicting indian style dips with my food, like some raita or mango chutney, but all they were able to offer ketchup and mayo. Nightmare.

All in all, nothing mind-blowing here, but still a good showing from The Blue Junction.
