Review of Pollys

Good breakfast, nice folk 
Ate a very good, big kill or cure fry up breakfast at Polly's this morning (after the night before) and it really hit the spot. Not my usual patch so missed east end prices but it was good, and very necessary so I wasn't complaining!
Pretty much opposite Hampstead overline train station and a really good find / hangover cure. They do a vegetarian fried breakfast too I noticed.

Review of The Bay Leaf Cafe

Homemade food from a great family-run cafe 
I've been going to this little cafe just around the corner from Goodge Street tube and Pollocks Toy Museum since it opened and I can't recommend it highly enough.
The people who run it are super lovely and the food is always tasty homemade stuff. I would walk a mile for their fabulous moussaka and the chicken pie is always a winner, meanwhile their everyday chilli is brilliant. They are also into making sure everything is in sustainable cardboard packaging so you can ease your carbon guilt over lunch or breakfast from here.
The place looks tiny and most people are queuing for takeouts at lunchtime but there are also tables downstairs where you can hide away and have a good natter or while a bit of spare time waiting for someone or seeking respite from Tottenham Court Road. They also cater for meetings and parties, etc and it's good stuff I've sampled it for myself in the board room (stuffing your face during videoconferences across five timezones is such a good look I find).
Huge recommendation for this place as it is a really well priced, friendly family-run cafe that SO deserves to stick around and go from strength to strength. Enough from me, just try it and see if I'm not right.

Review of Squat and Gobble

Good food, good place 
Squat & Gobble on Charlotte Street (and/or its teeny little sister round the corner on Tottenham Street) is one of my favourite workday lunch spots. Nice staff, speedy service, always good food and generous servings and it's well priced too. the fish finger sandwich is top and their daily specials are always yummy. superior lunchtime stuff.
take out or eat in, I'd really miss it if it wasn't there any more, always busy which is a good sign.
