Mad_Cyril Texas Joe’s (about ten mins from Borough Market) is great. Some of the best US BBQ I’ve had in the UK.

    IndustryStandard Whats that Ramsey “Lucky Cat” like? No Asian please

    LOL Industry Standard showing he hasn’t even done the most basic research or indeed read a restaurant column in the past few years.

    Mad_Cyril A decent Chinese would probs go down well

    South of the river and Chinese? Hit up OLB, this is his area of expertise.

    If not Borough Market, try Petticoat Lane Market, maybe not for food though. Just a life experience - they will love it.

    Certainly not me, I will not engage with any establishment in the UK using the term ‘Soda Pop’.

      RichM Hutung

      Hutong is the correct transliteration. How do I know?

      Because I live in one.

        RichM It should be Hutong

        Thanks for telling me that, Rich.

        seanc80 38 sheets for ½ a roast chicken and some roasties. Seems a little on the expensive side for lunch no?

        Between 2 chief, £19 each.

        Yes indeed, Rich pointed this out, my mistake.

        If anyone’s after restaurant recommendations still, hit me up!

        Still open for Mayfair recommendations if you have any. Modern British/European / Seafood. Got a good deal staying at Nobu this weekend so that will be Asia heavy, so fancy something a bit more traditional for Sat lunch.

          Faaark me there’s a name I’ve not heard for a long time. The very first time I went down to Laarndan to visit my bro he took me there. That would have been mid 80s. Thought I was proper posh at the time lol.

          Cheers all. Some good suggestions and will see whats available.

          Mad_Cyril You start off by getting really drunk, then head in and order lots of food and eat it like an animal. I reckon it will get a Michelin star soon

          Smallman1 Used to work next door to it

          The place where you used to wave out the windows to passers by?

            Mad_Cyril The place where you used to wave out the windows to passers by?

            No, a different, yet equally fantastic agency!

            Smallman in an Irish bar?

            A dip in the Thames afterwards too?

            They absolutely loved me in there.

            Fairly sure that’s because none of the staff were Irish.

              Smallman1 Smallman I suspect that you are probably universally detested however we are particularly repulsed.

                Off to Lisbon (first time) between Christmas and New Year. Restaurant recommendations very welcome

                  Universally loved Sean, OLB gets the warmest of welcomes wherever he goes!

                  Ireland aside tbf!
