The places we go you can eat for £70 without wine, I think that’s pretty reasonable.
Rarely go over Camden way for the simple fact that it’s still seen as a trendy place to go, when in reality it’s just a bit grotty and overrated.
Even in somewhere like Soho or CovGdn you can eat for what we pay, or head East and even Hackney will seem cheap by comparison.
Mostly we head to a few fave places up I Clerkenwell/Old Holborn/Aldwich/Aldgate where we’ve found some blooming excellent places.
We’ve got a couple over Canary Wharf we use and you’d think that prices would spike there, wrong. You can eat very hansomly for what we pay..
I always steer clear of places that are old and trading only on their “name”, Brick Lane for example, used to be good for a Curry years ago, now it’s just pretty rubbish.
But then you do have to take your time to find places, or do a bit of research.
Anyway, anyway you looked good doing it 😀
