    Great very friendly fish and chip shop. Peter the boss is a great guy. Chicken and daily specials always good. Breakfast very good.

    It was foodie time at Borough Market on Tuesday (our last full day in London), and it was foodie…read moreheaven for me and my family. We enjoyed walking around and seeing a wide variety of food options! The whole market area was clean and organized when we got there at 9am. No lines yet. Long lines did start forming around 9:45am when the hot foods were ready but moved pretty quickly. We tried: * The Ginger Pig - Traditional Sausage Roll * Wild Mushroom Risotto - Spelt Risotto with Truffle Shavings * Turnips Greengrocer - Chocolate Covered Strawberries * The Black Pig - The Best One With Crackling * Turkish Deli - Turkish Delight & Turkish Coffee * Bread Ahead - Crème Brûlée Donut

With so many tempting options, it's honestly hard to decide what to eat. One thing I really appreciated was that many vendors offered samples, so you could try before you buy. During our visit, we sampled the famous chocolate covered strawberries, paella, and wild mushroom risotto. I also bought the Black Pig Honey Truffle Parm sandwich. The chocolate covered strawberries were exactly what you'd expect, fresh strawberries coated in chocolate. If you enjoy that classic combination, you'll probably love them, but they weren't anything particularly special to me. The paella had great flavor, but the rice was a little undercooked for my taste, so I wasn't a fan of the texture. The wild mushroom risotto was the standout. It was rich, creamy, packed with earthy mushroom flavor, and had an excellent texture. It was easily one of my favorite bites of the day. I also tried the Black Pig Honey Truffle Parm sandwich. The bread was fantastic, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the fennel apple slaw added a refreshing crunch. Unfortunately, the pulled pork was very dry. I think it would have been much better if the pork had been kept warm in its own juices instead of continuing to cook on the griddle. That would have kept it moist and tender. As it was... the pulled pork was dry as hell. :) One thing every vendor had in common was friendly and welcoming customer service. Despite how busy and crowded the market gets, the atmosphere is lively, energetic, and full of people enjoying great food. It's definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves trying a variety of foods in one place.

    I took my (rather fussy) grandparents to dinner at Loch Fyne, having never eaten there before…read moremyself, and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was quiet on a weekday evening, although that didn't bother us. I had the roasted field mushroom with goats cheese to start - and found it delicious, which was a shock considering I don't like mushrooms! For my main I had the pea risotto, which was good, and for dessert I ate a delicious plate of chocolate ice cream, raspberry sorbet, chocolate shavings, crumbled amaretti biscuit and chocolate soil. I don't eat seafood so was really pleasantly surprised by Loch Fyne's offering and will try to return.

The menu was quite varied, serving everything from fish-and-chips to shellfish, from platters to "Fish Your Way." They even had beef and other meat. It was almost too much choice; I was starving, so I just wanted something delicious with out so much pondering. I ended up ordering the whole, roasted sea bass off the specials list. Just a quickie list of everything I tried: -- Oysters - tasty and sweet, though quite tiny -- Sea Bass - Nicely done; a little boney, as expected; excellent spicing -- Broccolini side dish - quite nice; not overcooked Everyone else enjoyed their meals, and we all shared a few nice bottles of New Zealand Sauv Blanc. Overall an enjoyable dinner at a reasonable price (for London).

    My wife and I chose this place for our last dinner in London before heading back home to DFW. I had…read moreread about this restaurant in some top 10 lists for foodies visiting London and was dying to check it out. First, it's not in the busy part of London where you would expect a restaurant of this caliber to be but rather it is in a very blue-collar neighborhood on the south side of London. It is a VERY cozy place with only seven tables but that is how they keep the quality and experience so great. The decor is as if you are on an old fishing ship. Reservations are highly recommended but we got there right when they opened (7pm) and thankfully they let us have a table. After being seated the hostess showed us the days specials and they ranged from fantastic scallops to lobster with every choice as good as the last. My wife and I chose the Chef's Choice 8 course dinner. The dinner comprised of a delicious sardine sandwich followed by a fillet of night perch which was then followed by lobster that melted in your mouth. Then we had a pallet cleanser of a light peach sorbet with a shot of vodka poured over it. The meal resumed with a grilled piece of pork belly (I got the "meat" choice) while my wife had a grilled hallibut (she got the "fish" choice). The next course was a warmed cheese (I believe it was gruyere) in pastry accompanied by a small mixed green salad with aged balsamic. The dessert courses were a delicious crepe with creme bruille filling and the end course was a pear puree along with a chocolate pudding with a hint of mint. We loved this place even though the name sort of threw us off at first. When you hear "The Lobster Pot" I imagine a bunch of seniors getting off a day-tour bus to a casino at a truck stop or something but this experience was far from what I first imagined. I would highly recommend spending some of your tourist dollars here at this restaurant.

Kitsch sticky menus…read moreneeded a bit of explanation and if the menus change regularly (no oysters , but I'd rather they'd be off the menu than off in my stomach) then perhaps daily printed menus would work. A delightfully decorative place complete with seagulls singing sea shanty classics on loop. Terrified but glorious goldfish adorning the cabin window walls, really every maritime detail had been thought of, even staff in cabin costumes, it was as cheesy as the lobster Thermidor. So fun. I loved being bibbed up too, I like knowing things are gonna get messy. The Meli, a melee of seafood; half lobster, sea bass, spicy grilled perch, razor clam (touch over done), squid kebab (could've been flavoured more) but all in a sea of buttery champagne and avruga sauce. No tide could hold me back from wanting to lick my plate or use this as a moisturiser, oh my golly so delicious. It came served with enough perfectly cooked veg that my mother would approve of too. Soft butter, less surprise from the proprietor at our arrival and this place would have had a perfect score. Overall our waitress was lovely and the food was really darn good.

The fried fish was different from the regular fish and chips. The fish was more like from a fish market rather than frozen fish fillet. We like the bass but not like the rock fish. The rock fish was a kind of mushy and it had a big bone inside. The bass had fish skin still attached to it.

Kitchen is more of a takeaway spot. They only have one table with two long wooden benches along the side of the shop. The process is simple: get in line, place your order, wait for your food, then grab it when it's ready. The ambiance is very casual and fast paced, with most people either standing outside to eat or taking their food to go, so it's not really a place to sit down and enjoy a leisurely meal. The shop proudly displays its National Fish & Chip Awards recognition, so we had high expectations. We only ordered the haddock fish and chips. The fish was freshly cooked, but the batter was very plain and lacked seasoning, so the flavor didn't really stand out. The chips (fries) were just okay, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, but it didn't quite live up to the award-winning reputation we were expecting. :)
