FOOD REVIEW The Patch Pintxos? In Lewes? My best friend lived for many years in San Sebastian, in the Basque Country in Northern Spain. I became a regular visitor to that wonderful city, which is celebrated, among other things, for its fantastic food. One of the highlights of the trip was dining out in the old part of town, going from bar to bar trying out different pintxos. These are a kind of Basque tapas, where wildly different food combinations are stuck onto a slice of baguette with a cocktail stick. And now – on weekend evenings at least – Lewes has a dedicated 'pintxos' bar. The Patch, which has opened up where Fillers used to be, on the corner of Market Street and School Hill, is a regular sandwich shop in the daytime, and sells a variety of craft ales at night. But, from 5.30 on Friday and Saturday, they will be serving these little Basque delicacies. "You'd better be quick though," says Patch, the guy who runs the place, (you might remember him from the Snowdrop). "We only make so many, and when they're gone, they're gone." We arrive at 5.30. Patch hasn't been able to perform miracles of the TARDIS variety to make the place bigger inside, so I'd suggest that it's not the sort of place for a football team to drop into after a game, but we find ourselves a little table by the window, just in time to witness the unveiling of tonight's pintxos, laid out on the bar surface – which they fill – on a black slate. We immediately fill a plate with one of each, and ask for a knife, so we can share them. For the record this is what we got. One had little pieces of steak in a gravy with a tiny dollop of mustard on top. Another had some Thai-spiced fish with diced pepper, onion and coriander. A third had a generous slice of goats cheese on top of some gherkins, with a roasted red pepper on top. And finally a bit of courgette on a bed of mayonnaise with some chopped up tomato and pomegranate seeds. They cost £1.50 a shot, which seems very reasonable. To wash these down I choose a large glass of Billingshurst English red wine, at £6, and Rowena goes for a pint of Vermont Pale APA from Gun Brewery... Patch specialises in keg ales, and you can expect him to try out a whole variety of these – another reason to pay a visit. Back to the pintxos: it's a mistake to try to cut them up, we realise: they are best enjoyed one to a person, so after a bit of a messy disaster first time round we chomp away happy in the decision that we're going to buy another plateful afterwards. Which we do, eliminating the courgette mixture, and going for two Thai fish ones. Verdict? A big thumbs up for another Lewes first, and we'll certainly be back; I can't think of a better way to start off a weekend evening (aka line the stomach). Topa! Alex Leith Photo by Chloë King 71
