As far as I’m concerned the Sweet Thursday folks could call their friendly establishment Sour Monday, and I’d still rave about it. The pizzas are proper and the atmosphere ideal for a casual meal any day of the week. Continue reading

Delicious Takeaway at an Outstanding Price: Bánh Mì Hoi-An, Hackney Central
It’s nice to give someone a fiver for a filling and freshly made lunch and still get some change back.
