Honey Chilli Fries are the first thing most tables order and the first thing to disappear. Potato fries go into the fryer twice — once to cook, once to crisp — then straight into a wok with honey, red chilli, garlic and a splash of vinegar that reduces to a lacquer.

Sesame seeds and sliced spring onion go on last, while the glaze is still tacky. The result is sweet, hot and sour at once, crunchy at the tips and sticky at the centre. It is a vegetarian starter that carnivores fight over, and it disappears fastest on student nights and weekend tables.

Honey Chilli Fries — Frequently Asked Questions

Are Honey Chilli Fries vegetarian?

Yes. The glaze is built from honey, chilli, garlic and vinegar, with no meat or meat stock. It does contain honey, so it is not vegan.

Are they very spicy?

Medium. The honey takes the edge off the chilli, so the heat is warming rather than sharp. We can add more chilli if you would like.

Do Honey Chilli Fries travel well for takeout?

They are best eaten fresh, while the crust is still crisp. For pickup orders from St. Mary's Road we glaze them at the last moment so they hold their texture on the way home.
