I know but I was feeling lazy and wanted some recommendations ha.

May try that I am a fan of the food at the Ribble valley inns but somethig similar but different may appeal

Tom - get her to Northcote - you know she's worth it.

[Tom]

She is but am I?

[3rdpillar]

Do they have a lunch menu these days or just the normal one?

Normal one with seasonal 2 courses for 10:50 3 for 13:50.

Have to say I took the pic cause the light was right , but it was as delicious as it looks.

May have to call and try that out one lunchtime. Is it anything on the seasonal menu?

[Mike Graham]

Three years after a failed attempt to dine here, I'm considering the Cafe Istanbul this Saturday for pre match lunch. Anyone been lately that can encourage or put me off?

Fantastic every tie Ozz, one of my regular favourites.

[Mike Graham]

Has anyone been to Rossi in Manchester (upper King Street/Spring Gardens). I am there for lunch the week after next......followed by dinner at Northcote Manor and an overnight!

I went to Northcote for my Birthday this week and an overnight. As always an absolutely smashing meal and a lovely room. I really do love the place.

[alexanders]

Dont know if this is only for the Blackburn area, but me and my wife are going to London.

Last time we where there we went to Maze in Mayfair (Absolutely fantastic!), Busaba (gorgeus and spicy thai meal), J Sheekay and a lebanese at Edgware Road.

This time we are living next to Edgware road underground station and I would like some advices about where to dine when we are in London. We are not the richest of folk and I would prefer not too expensive restaurants. Maze was expensive, but something we had to try.

Rossi = Rio Ferdinands place. Not been myself, but a few from work have and speak highly of it.

If you like Turkish try Taz. They have about 6 of them in London, including one which is 4 minutes walk from Tottenham Court Rd tube.

[Cheeky Sidders]

I went to the Parker's Arms at Newton in Bowland with Mrs Sidders and Old Mother Sidders at lunchtime today. Starters, mains and drinks came to a very reasonable £57 but we could have eaten cheaper if we'd gone for the specials. Very good local produce (I had potted trout followed by rabbit pastie), friendly well-informed waitress and very welcoming host. Tasteful decor, open fire, great pint of locally brewed Sawley Tempted and no riff-raff. Absolutely lovely and recommended. About 40 minute drive from Blackburn largely through lovely scenery.

Bukhara again tonight for tea. I think I am addicted to the Lahore Goshte.

[Boz]

If you like Turkish try Taz. They have about 6 of them in London, including one which is 4 minutes walk from Tottenham Court Rd tube.

Or as another Turkish alternative try Mangal, off Stoke Newington Road in Dalston, admitedly perhaps it's not in the most touristy locations, but take my word for it, great authentic Lamb dishes and quite reasonable too. Have a look on Time Out if you want a second opinion.

No direct link on the Northern Line from Edgeware Road, but well worth the effort to find it.

[Ozz]

Fantastic every tie Ozz, one of my regular favourites.

Cafe Istanbul on Saturday-Excellent. Fresh, tasty well prepared food served in a smart,. clean, tasteful building with very pleasant staff. Two courses for four people inc drinks, £71.00. Bargain for City centre.

There's a little French Bistro on New Oxford Street that I love, Savoir Faire - excellent food at a reasonable price and a very nice Malbec on the wine list Savoir Faire Link - The only thing that I don't like on the menu is Fillet Steak with Snail Butter - nasty, but everything else is devine.

There's a great (and fantasatic value for money) Burmese restaurant 5 minutes walk from where you're staying - several awards (including in 2009 Time Out London All Time Cheap Eats award) - would advise you book but can certainly recommend Mandalay at 444 Edgware Road.

5 minutes further on around the corner on Clifton Road is Raoul's Maida Vale ... much cheaper than you will have paid in Mayfair or elsewhere in the centre of town and very good quality. Especially recommended for breakfast / brunch or a lunchtime snack (see their daytime menu).

Bin there Tris! And I've spent many a happy hour in the quirky little 'Windsor Castle' just behind it. There was a really colourful landlady who reminded me of Osbert Lancaster's Maudie Littlehampton and there were usually lots of B level thespians in. She left and the place was never the same again although it might well have recovered by now.

My sister lived on Maida Avenue for a time and travelled the world extensively so me n'er indoors had the apartment to ourselves when we visited London. Not many places in London where I would like to live but Maida Vale and Richmond would be my choice.

Must say Tesco bloody Express is new and imo doesn't really suit. That area didn't need it.

Off to millstone on saturday for a meal for our anniversary after reading good reviews here, looking forward to it, I'll report back.

[vintageadidas]

Tried kebabish original on Saturday and I must say it was the best kebab I have had and also the busiest kebab place I have ever seen! 30+ takeaway orders and tables all full in the 40 minutes we waited!

Off to the walled garden bistro and wine bar at Barton this Sunday! Heard decent reviews - will report back!

Tom - millstone has just had a change of menu! I always have the duck spring roles to start which are still on, quality!!

Hope you like it! Good choice for special occasions like Anniversaries.

[Tom]

Hope so, it's the kind of place we like rather than really overly fancy and it it's somewhere different than the clog and billycock but In a similar vein I'm led to believe
