London restaurant recommendations

[Pubey]

Heading to London next weekend to watch Kate Bush. First weekend away for a while and looking for somewhere nice to get a decent bite to eat. We're staying in East London and the gig is in West London so somewhere central to eat would be great, especially where there is a good pub or bar near by.

Not a chain, not really expensive and where you can eat at about 5/5.30. This probably limits us to pre-theatre places I guess?

Any help greened. Thanks xx

You could try Kettners in Soho, always really liked it there and you can spend pretty much what you like - they also cater for pre-theatre goers I think, so your timing should be fine http://www.kettners.com/

Christophers Grill: http://www.christophersgrill.com/

Lovely food, not to expensive IIRC.

I can recommend this place. 2 mins walk from Farringdon station, which gives you a direct tube to Hammersmith.

Have eaten in London theater land many times , I have found that Browns in Covent Garden very good , also the Med Cafe in Berwick Street very good ,but even some of the pubs in Soho offer good food ,but if you like kebabs Edgware Road is the place to go and The Palm Palace takes a lot of beating .

There's a really good McDonalds on Tottenham Court Road.

Good call. Great place.

If you like Chinese there's always China Town...

As you know, we're playing Pompey that day.

Are you another one of those sad types who boycotts Roots Hall these days?

If you look under oxymoron in the dictionary these are the words you'll find.

No, I imagine that he's got tickets to see Kate Bush. :facepalm:

Stop diverting this thread. We can't get down to Essex for numerous boring childcare reasons. Stop being a ********.

Balthazar in Covent Garden's pretty decent.

Had an excellent Byron Burger near Trafalgar Square last time I was in London.

It's perfectly possible to see a game at RH on a Saurday pm and get up to town for a show/gig afterwards.

No need to be rude.It was a genuine question.

Sorry, I'd forgotten about your kid.Hope you enjoy the show.

If you like Youngs pubs and good food I'd recommend this place in Covent Garden (restaurant upstairs).

Very handy for the Central Line.

L'ulivo - If you like Italian, this place is just off Leicester Square (on Irving Street) about 100 yards from the Odeon. Great food, at a decent price.

stop being a bellend."

Charming.

May I remind you that your original post promised "Any help greened" rather than red.

If you hear of a better pub restaurant in Central London than The Marquess,I'd like to know about it.

Great restaurant but can be bleeding hard to find if you don't know the area. Not for vegetarians though.

I see what you've done there. Very good.

Your post wasn't helpful.

You took a very simple request for any restaurant recommendations, and accused me of potentially boycotting SUFC matches. Something which isn't true and I take offence at. I wish I could get to more games than I do but with a young family and being 200 miles away it's just not possible at the moment.

And now you're moaning at rep - congratulations.


Thanks to everyone else for the useful posts and recommendations. Mrs Pubey has been to Kettners quite recently. The other places sound promising and I'll try and get a table.

There's a Carluccio's very near Covent Garden that is always good.
