I am half an hour into lunch with Ronan Farrow, and we are yet to see a menu. Arriving first at the Union Club, a cosy members-only townhouse in the heart of London’s Soho, I alighted upon an impeccably discreet table in the tartan-carpeted bar. But tucked neatly behind an imposing pillar, we find ourselves untroubled by waiters. “We kind of have our own room here,” says Farrow, as we try to catch the eye of a passing member of staff. “We’re maybe too protected.”
与罗南•法罗(Ronan Farrow)一起坐下已有半个小时,我们连菜单都没看到。我先到Union Club,这是一家仅对会员开放的餐馆,位于伦敦Soho区中心一栋联排别墅,内部温馨舒适。酒吧区铺着苏格兰格纹地毯,我一眼看中这张不容易被人看见的桌子,但这张桌子被一根又高又粗的柱子挡得严严实实的,结果没有服务员来打扰我们。“就像我们在这里有自己的包房一样,”法罗说。我们努力地想引起从旁边走过的服务员的注意。“我们可能被保护过度了。”
