Pizza at Franco Manca in Earls Court
Tonight we were dining at Franco Manca near to our hotel in Earls Court. The place looked ok from the outside, nice and brightly lit, and full of people who seemed to be happy eating their Pizza. I like pizza, I like seeing people eating pizza, and I like happy diners so we took a…
Sausages and Beer at Bierschenke by Covent Garden
Biershenke Bierkeller in Covent Garden is, as you may well have expected from the name, a beer hall selling German Beers mostly it seems from the Paulaner brewery in Munchen. We found ourselves here purely by chance as we were wandering around looking for somewhere to get a drink. I am not normally one for…
Yen Burger near Borough Market in London: Japanese Styled Burgers
Yen Burger on Southwark Street in London is a Japanese restuarant serving ‘oriental inspired and homemade burgers’. They are situated just over the road from Borough Market and considering the location were relatively quiet when we visited them. I was hoping that wasn’t a bad sign and that it was just a case that they…
Street Feast at Hawker House – Tasty Taiwanese Bao from Yum Bun

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,…
