As is the much cheaper one from Crucials Went to FM in Waterloo a while back, not impressed tbh and the wines were shit. Went to Franca Manca the other Sunday cos we couldn’t get in Rudys (the restaurant, not the lying fucker) it was ok. Nowt amazing.
June 8, 20233 yr Aye its basic pizza from a chain - but its more value for money than a Zizi or a Pizza Express.

Took over my favourite sunny afternoon (keeping on topic) pub The China House on other side of harbour from Barbican. Always look for independent gaffs over chains. Anyhow, not enough rain to leave ground wet overnight and looks like NW has better chance of getting the thunderstorms tomorrow evening

That my friend is silk handkerchiefs pasta, walnut butter with confit egg yolk and it is lovely, but not as nice as my Mackerel, seaweed butter and paccheri. Any before everyone thinks its all dead posh - the first dish is only £11 - as I say, its a nice place to go if you're around Covent Garden and don't want the usual pap or being charged the earth for re-heated pub food.

For 15p extra you can get a full Mixed Grill in Whetherspoons.

Proper Italian pasta dishes even beat the Naples pizzas for me. Fuck the weatherspoons peasants, they know nothing. And don’t take photos of your food in restaurants! Use one from the website next time 😂

Use one from the website next time 😂 I'll not have anything said against a Spoons - big fan of their curry club and breakfasts. Many a time kept the family well fed. Why would I use one from a website? Seems a bit odd that when that's where I was and that's what I ate?

(Apart from once in an airport). I guess it’s the stereotype of the omg student types who feel compelled to take a picture of every nice dinner they consume. Clearly you’re not one of them. best pasta dish I ever had was a pesto lasagna in Genoa.

I genuinely was in a gay S&M Dungeon about an hour ago helping the owners hold a hoist to the ceiling whilst a joiner fixed it. Seriously.
