Yum Bun Street Food was another place that I really wanted to eat at when we visited Street Feast in Hawker House at Canada Water in London. It was that bright fluorescent sign and the promise of some stuffed Bao Buns that had me most excited. I do love a Bao, I think it is…

Street Feast at Hawker House – White Men Can’t Jerk
White Men Can’t Jerk were one of the Street Food Traders we headed to when we visited Street Feast at Hawker House over at Canada Water in London. They were serving up Jerk Chicken plates and some Jerk Chicken burgers and we were keen to try that out! They say that; “We pride ourselves…
Orangerey at Kew – Roast Chicken for lunch
The Orangery is a lovely building and a great setting for a café. It is an 18th Century Grade I listed building built in 1761 and is certainly very grand. It was just a shame that it was overrun with tourists just like myself all scrambling around getting some overpriced sandwiches and stuff for lunch….
Pethers of Kew – Great Butchers with Excellent Sausage Rolls and Pies
Pether of Kew was the first thing we saw when we stepped off the train at Kew Gardens. I love a good local butchers and this one was a diamond selling some great stuff. It was a shame that we were en-route to the Kew Gardens for the day as I could have filled my…
Maria’s at Borough Market – Nice bit of Breakfast Action
Marias Market Cabin should be your first port of call at Borough market if you are looking for your standard English Breakfast. Operating out of a portacabin trailer right in the heart of the action, you could be forgiven for walking on by blinded by the ‘fancier’ food on offer, but you would be making…
Kerb at Kings Cross – Tasting the amazing Patate Burgers
Kerb at Kings Cross has grown so much since my first visit back in 2013 when we found Spit and Roast on a rainy day. Today though in the sunshine we were spoilt for choice with at least 8 different vendors offering up a fantastic range of international street food, something for all tastes. Greek,…
Golden Union for Haddock, Chips and Mushy Peas in Soho London
Over the past days I had eaten a lot of street food and was in the mood for some traditional British Fare, something comforting and something filling. Fish and Chips was to be the order of the day, but where to go? As an out of towner I had no real ideas where to go so…
Hash at Borough Market – “Mac and Gumbo”
Hash at Borough Market was selling some of my favourite foods in the whole wide world. They had Gumbo, they had pulled pork shoulder, they had mac and cheese combined with gumbo and also with pulled pork. OMG this is not fair at all. I mean what is a man supposed to do or choose?…
Tongue and Brisket on Leather Lane, A London Deli featuring Chicken Schnitzel, Roast Turkey, Salt Beef, basically ALL the good stuff!
Tongue and Brisket on Leather Lane in Smithfield near Holburn Station is a Deli serving many of the Jewish Classics. Some people describe it as a New York style Deli, but that is unfair to the history of the area. This was the sort of place that we found in London long before those guys over the pond learnt how…
Jen Cafe in Soho for some tasty dumplings
When you walk into Chinatown there are a lot of those well populated restaurants trying to pull you in with offers of unlimited buffets, but if you are smart or if you want something a little more real, then keep on walking until you get to the edge of the area and you will find…
