First signs were not good. No Scotch egg on the menu. And then, as if beckoned by angels, written on a red wall in white chalk, “Major Scotch eggs £2.95.” Hope.
But “Major”? Ah, I see, they’re like a rugby ball in breadcrumbs. An oval, golden orb with a warm breadcrumb casing and inside, oozing the boundaries with soft piggy-meat and seasoning; some parsley, finely chopped dill? Is that some carrot too? The egg at the centre, soft and runny. Heart-warming.
Across the table sat Masterchef winner Dhuv Baker mopping up the last of his, and so, to quote one who knows, “The world is a better place thanks to The Ship’s Scotch egg.” (Dhruv Baker, January 2011).

No worries Sam. Great seeing you. Glad you were able to sample the Scotch egg at its finest. The eggsploration continues…
The Ship? Er, where?
The Ship, Wandsworth. Top notch!
Now that looks like a huge Scotch Egg!
