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…

I liked the look of it as I meandered my way through Heathrow Terminal 2 looking for someone to sustain…
Wild Caper at Brixton Market
Wild Caper in the Brixton Market is a small café that is mainly selling Eastern Mediterranean food. I was really tempted to try some of their Meze dishes especially the ‘Meatballs Saganaki’ essentially Beef meatballs with a tomato sauce and melted Kaseri cheese for £5. We also really fancied the Pork Belly wrap for £4.75 which was a…
Cafe Caribbean at Spitalfield Market
Café Caribbean in old Spitalfields market is the sort of place that you hope to find when hunting for lunch. The counter is filled with a whole plethora of delicious looking vats of Caribbean food. It looks homemade and authentic, it IS homemade and authentic, and in the end it tasted homemade and authentic. Their website tells…
