Thanks

If it's on a Sunday the Pilgrim Lounge takes some beating, if not The Mill is decent (near the hospital).

I would go for the Thai in South Street, think it's called Boston Spice.  Good food, reasonably priced, and friendly service.

De Niro's at the top of Tawney Street is a relatively unknown gem! Good food, excellent service and very friendly - try it!

Avoid the Mill at all costs. Overpriced and overrated. London has some good restaurants.

There is that Italian down Wormgate I take all my floosies to Bizzaro's/Pizzaro's but they use garlic.   ;)

Thank you.

SP - I love garlic but it's over-used on too many occasions nowadays. Perhaps needed more if taste buds have been contaminated with nicotine or excessive alcohol use :)

The Mill used to be decent, I've heard the chef has moved on to the Ball House now.
Bizzarro in Wormgate is worth a visit, have to book well in advance though.  8)

What's your definition of a 'good' London restaurant then? I believe there's a Wetherspoons on Camden Lock that'd be up your street, mixing with the 7am cider-swillers.

Personally I take breakfast, lunch and dinner at Sat Bains, under the Clifton flyover. But I doubt they'd let riff-raff like you in there.

First class service and food at reasonable prices in a smart restaurant you can't beat Presso's in Bargate. We go there regularly and always been well satisfied. :D

Ended up going to the Thatched Cottage at Sutterton. Would thoroughly recommend - great service and food to match.

You'd be better off turning right and going to the Kings Head at Frieston, from what I've heard the food at The Castle is a bit 'ding' while the food at The Kings Head is home cooked.

You will go a long way to beat the meals at The Wheatsheaf at Hubberts Bridge......superb.

Castle at Haltoft End.

Nothing spectacular (Usual Batemans jazzed up menu)

Spectacular prices to match menu.

Large chiller containing run of the mill shop bought deserts.

have the same eating experience at any chain pub, for a lot less.

Try The Wheatsheaf next time, you'll not be disappointed.

But book in advance, it gets busy.
