Never ever eat in The Savoy. I've seen the kitchen.
Went for lunch at Arbutus last week. Michelin food for a decent price. Go check it out. Very nice
Arbutus is very good. A few very good restaurants in SoHo. Another I really like is Kettners. Have been there in a large group & also just the two of us. Food & drink (Champagne Bar) always excellent & some of the best service.
#carter yeah going to re do it for th summer but because of enigma we've got licensing issues out there!! Have to get everyone inside by 11pm, which is a shame as a great space
Have been to Bodeans on Clapham High Street, and as I've now been leaving in the Deep South of the States for 2 years I can say that their BBQ stands up pretty well compared to their US brothers. And if you like American sports its a cracking place to catch a game....has all night SuperBowl parties too if I remember rightly.
Was thinking of heading to Maze, Gordon Ramsey's place in Mayfair on Thursday.......anyone been?

You have just made my year. If Americans have given anything to the world it is pulled pork and ribs barbeque style!

Yes Dan. I went there in the summer. Very good. Kind of a tasting menu approach with lots of courses, but smaller than usual so you get lots of variety. Nice vibe there too, quite informal.
Most restaurants are absolute rubbish in my view, but we all end up in one from time to time. The only decent place I ever went to was called 'Heathers' in Deptford. For greasy spoon folk there is the Manor Cafe in Manor Lane, Lee,...very popular, usually very busy. Giardinos in the Glades used to be OKish, but has got worse...there is a similar Italian place in Blackheath Standard which is much better. If you have to spend a fortune on a cup of coffee out, then Cafe Nero is better than Costa Coffee or Starbucks. If you think about going to MacDonalds, simply ask yourself how desperate you are, because it is always always lousy (better explain I only would ever have the veggie option), think again and go to a Wimpey if you have to, and have a beanburger platter there, at least it is all cooked and prepared in front of you. You really have to be at your wits end to go to Macdonalds, or to grab something at Charing Cross Burger King before you catch your train. It is always better (and cheaper) to get some posh Marks and Spencer sarnies or something, even with their silly prices, rather than blimmin Burger King. However not a lot beats slinging together a sarnie at home, grabbing a banana or apple or something, and a choccie biscuit rather than paying some cockroach infested gaff to feed you. I too have seen the kitchens of some of the poshest places in the West End...urrrgh.
There is a nice Italian by Brockley chandos which is ok...the ice cream there is particularly exotic.
If anyone's in Bath and fancies a curry, head to the Rajpoot. Voted the best Indian Restaurant in the South West and the food is superb. Expensive though. 2 courses and a bottle of Indian Red was over £40 a head which is twice a much as I pay at my local

Agree with that VM, Rajpoot is well worth a visit. Also worth a visit in Bath is Eastern Eye on Quiet Street. Bit pricey once again, but quality of food and the surroundings is excellent. Do one of them lunchtime and the other in the evening
Cheers, been doing quite well since opening what two months ago now, up to no1 on tripadvisor, but in all honestly its better priced, ambience and service than topes but food not as technical, yet!!
Not at the moment got one of the best chefs I've worked with running show, leave all kitchen staff to her. Drop us a mail thou we would be looking at expanding th team in th not too distant future info@oliversrochester.co.uk althou prob wouldn't use an agency but you never know.
If anyone is in the Pembury/Tunbridge Wells area, can highly recommend the Camden Arms Hotel in Pembury. Discovered it when my baby boy was in the hospital down the road a few months back, went back Saturday to see the nurses as they like to see how they grow/progress etc, so popped in again, great food, great service, 3 courses, 2 glasses of wine and a large pepsi, £62. Not the cheapest but well worth it.
Hey Eddie, how comes you're such a big hit with the girls?
Well you can tell by what I’m drinking that I’m really kinda smooth, Oh yeah, Uh-huh-huh. I take a Pepsi from the counter and I stroll up to the booth, Oh yeah, Uh-huh-huh. And when I get to where they’re sittin’ That’s my chance to treat those kittens Ohhhh Pesi Cola........
You dont know a little mad Glaswegian woman called Denise do you?
No mate. I deal mainly with Michelin/Rosette level restaurants and 5* Hotels in Central London. Only really venture out into Kent/Surrey if the business is there.

She works in the same industry as you, she started her career at the old in & out club on Piccadilly many years ago, now in recruitment.
