In a city dominated by foxy faux pubs, the Queen and Beaver stands out like a bright red telephone box. Manchester-born chef Andrew Carter puts to rest the tired notion that English food is a joke, delivers boldly flavoured, modern British fare. Fish and chips stars perfectly cooked haddock in a light, crispy coating with a herbaceous tartar sauce (unfortunately, the accompanying chips are soggy and over-salted). A grilled pork chop is thick, pink and succulent, with sweet peas and verdant gnocchi-style dumplings soaking up the rich pan juices. The much-lauded cask-conditioned ale from Wellington Brewery may get beer geeks salivating, but this antiquated brew tastes tepid and flat to the average palate. Fortunately, there are six other icy beers on tap, plus a diverse wine list that easily trumps the selection of suds. Chummy service. Mains $15–$23.
