Amongst the debris of the Olympics site in Stratford, amidst brick warehouses and narrow roads stands Forman's Restaurant and Bar....... as featured in Masterchef.(There'd be no other way I could have found out about this god forsaken place). Forman's located on Fish Island (!) is not open everyday so it's always advisable to call first.
The menu is simple - fresh British produce and ofcourse Forman's salmon. I have mixed feelings about the food - it was very hit and miss. The brill was gorgeous while the sea bass didn't go well with the selected accoutrements. Smoked salmon didn't gain much from buckwheat blinis whereas the hot smoked eel went very well with potatoes and capers in Dijon dressing.
Forman's at the moment is great for discussing business with no distractions. Once the Olympics begin it is sure to be a hit with its excellent view of the site. However at the moment it needs a little tweaking of the menu and perhaps is not yet worth the commute to Fish Island for its own sake only.
