Review of The Eagle Ale House
12 Jul 07, 17:03
Proper pub ! 
I love this pub. Its like an old mans pub, with dogs wandering round, board games, TV, sofas and a fire. Mixed crowd of young & old locals.
Large outdoor beer garden with tv screen, rugby seems to be a priority. The marquee has plenty of those outdoor heating jobbies, so its nice enough to sit out there in the colder months.
Its just off the Northcote Road, so a 10-15min walk from Clapham Junction. Between wandsworth & clapham commons.

Review of The Holy Drinker
12 Jul 07, 16:53
Good local.
Really good local, its a small bar, but does the job with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Unless you are in early, you will have no chance of finding a seat.
Old cinema seats at the back are a novel touch. Good music too, with projections on drapes adding to the ambience.
In the winter, its great to warm up by the fire and catch up with your mates.

Review of Chinese Experience
12 Jul 07, 16:30
Highly Recommended 
A fantastic restuarant on Shaftesbury Ave. We go often and in a large group for Dim Sum on Sunday. The promotions for eating there during the week make it a good place if you are in need of a good feed for minimum spend.
Very popular, with Chinese and people in the know for good quality Szechuan, Cantonese and Peking dishes.
The dumplings are the best I have had anywhere in London. Also lots of vegetarian dishes to choose from. They happily made us at our request us a noodle dish cooked to our taste. No problem at all they said. Shredded turnip cakes (add chilli paste for a good kick), vegetable steamed dumplings, sea spiced aubergine, salt & chilli scallops, Shanghai pork dumplings. - all highly recommended. Our table is usually covered with so many plates & mountains of food, but it all goes down with the chinese tea.
Staff are always polite and helpful, they are great at suggesting new things to try and explaining what the dishes are. They remember their regulars, which is always nice.
Its very modern and clean inside with wall to ceiling glass windows onto the street (good for people watching). There is more seating down stairs in a smaller room, nice for private dinning or a party.
This a great place for a cheap eat.

Review of Viet
11 Jul 07, 17:14
Looking for a GREAT Vietnamese
By chance we ended up at Viet and were very happy. GREAT food. Authentic dishes with no additives. BYO, so grab a bottle of wine on your way.
Very popular place with queues on the evening we went, but a fairly quick table turn over, so the waiting was not long.
Its small and simple, nothing grand with friendly & helpful staff. And at £10-£15 a head very reasonably priced. Will definately be going back.
Not suitable for large groups, or a long-lingering meal.
