Review of The Greenery

02 Oct 07, 12:29

So-so Vege Take-Out 3*

All vegetarian take-out café. Portions are big, and food seems fresh, but service is so hectic and disorientating it is enough to consider not going back. Invariably, staff struggle to understand your order and service can be achingly slow when there is a queue.

Review of Piada

Italian Takeaway Made Simple 4*

Choose from ten varieties of fresh fillings for your flat bread and you're done.

Prepared freshly while you wait, if you like Mediterranean food then its hard not to be impressed by Piada as an convenient lunch time option.

Review of The Jerusalem Tavern

21 May 07, 18:22

Beautiful Local Tavern 4*

This is nearest pub to where we work - a beautiful old pub with stunning curved glass Victorian frontage which serves an eclectic mix of beers and ales that manages to steer clear of the ale pub cliches. A very friendly, cosy bar which is always packed, indeed the place suffers due to its size, which inevitably means that in the summer we tend to be drinking in the road. Serves grapefruit lager which is much nicer than it sounds.

Review of Eat

Super Soup 4*

My collegue Rik's interest in Eat Soup borders on the obsessive, however, his enthusiasm has spread throughout the eMomentum office quickly and he has managed to convert half of us (including me) to the ways of Eat Soup which is super tasty. From chicken pot pie to red lentil dhal, I haven't tried a poor Eat soup yet.

Eat seems to be carving a similar niche a la Pret in the 90's serving up no-nonesense, tasty lunch take-out at affordable prices. They are rapidly to be opening new stores acrossLondon at the moment, so I'm sure that MacDonalds will buy them soon.
