If you have ever visited the City of London around lunchtime you would have seen one of two things. Either someone walking around with a Birleys bag, or the staggeringly big queue outside of one of their locations. After years of seeing this I thought it would be worth trying them out. The entrance to… Continue reading Birleys

The RAW Charging Stadium
First day of the new year and a restaurant … well … almost. The RAW charging Stadium is the home of Oxford City football club (not the much better known Oxford United football club). Due to a recent promotion no drinking is allowed when the football is on, so, food it must be. But is… Continue reading The RAW Charging Stadium
Pizza
A nice little food related event in Canary Wharf., sure its just an advert, but I am not going to be turning up the opportunity for a nice cheap slice of pizza. Was my enthusiasm overstated? Was this all worth it? Yeah this was literally just called pizza. There must have been a company behind… Continue reading Pizza
Sausiology
By complete chance, whilst walking through Greenwich market, I said “I would love nothing more than a hot dog”, my prayers were answered. I swung around to notice this nirvana of low quality cooked meat, stuffed into intestine. Were my prayers really answered? Was Sausiology really the answer to my prayers? In the hussle and… Continue reading Sausiology
Taberu
Japanese cuisine is by far my favorite , delicate and light flavour paired with fresh ingredients is a combination I can’t get enough of. Having said this, there are plenty of Japanese places in the UK that are far from up to scratch. So, where does Taberu stand? You could easily walk past Taberu and… Continue reading Taberu
Ippudo
I love a ramen, who doesn’t? But going out for a bowl of ramen in London can be a real challenge. It is seemingly impossible to wade through all of the fake ‘Street-food’ stalls that serve an oxo cube in a bowl, with a few limp noodles thrown in. So, where does Ippudo stand in… Continue reading Ippudo
The Salad Project
Counting the theme of salads and healthy eating – we are tying out a new location; The Salad project. I tumbled upon this place a while ago but never went in, a new branch opened near me so I thought I would give it a go, so, was it any good? Let’s find out! The… Continue reading The Salad Project
Tossed
Salads. Love them or hate them, sometimes you body cried out for nutrition, and you need a salad. Salad’s are a tricky business when you are out and about, some will be three old leaves and will set you back £900, others are pretty fair. More often than not you will get scammed. So, which… Continue reading Tossed
Uoichi
This place is incredibly highly rated on google, its tough to get a reservation too. It’s so hard that I booked once, turned up and I was told they are fully booked. I said that I had called earlier, and was told that I had a table, the server looked at me, smiled and just… Continue reading Uoichi
Kanada-Ya
A ramen house in the middle of Soho, decorated with awards. There are plenty of ramen places around London so the competition is tight, what makes it worse for a lot of places is that the standard (or at least in my experiences) is generally pretty good. So can Kanada-Ya compete with the rest? The… Continue reading Kanada-Ya
