"We visited The Chum in October for the first time in a long time (previous visits had been disappointing). It all started so well, nice atmosphere, lots of families in but it wasn 't packed. Hubby had fish and chips and I had the smoked haddock with cheese topping and a portion of chips. Food was really very nice I would have still been hungry if I hadn 't ordered the chips though. Our one issue was that part way through our meal we wanted to order some more drinks. Asked the waitress and were told we had to order at the bar. What???? Who wants to get up part way through a meal to order drinks for goodness sake? It wasn 't over busy the night we went but how on earth would this system work when it is busy with queues at the bar to order drinks and/or to order food? Can you imagine a group of people on a busy night mid way through their meals being expected to go to the bar to get more drinks. Absolutely ridiculous. So we didn 't get more drinks, we didn 't order the pudding that we had intended on having, we came home and opened a bottle of wine instead. We didn 't leave a service tip as other than the food being delivered to our table there wasn 't any other 'service '. Was this a 'one off ' or is the norm now? If so, we won 't be coming back I 'm afraid and in theory this is our local pub that we should be visiting regularly. Very disappointed."

Hongxin Oriental Buffet

"I will preface this review by saying this was my first trip to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet for about five years and so I might be a bit enthusiastic because of that but I really think this place is fantastic. First of all I was surprised by the entrance. A nice spacious car park that surrounds the really impressive architecture. I really wasn't expecting anything like that is terms of external décor but was really impressed. Walking in, the building was spacious and we were seated for lunch straightaway. We did come on a Wednesday at about one o'clock so it wasn't as busy as it might be on weekends and in the evenings and that suited us just fine. The drinks service was quick and both a pint of Budweiser and glass of Sauvignon Blanc were under £4 each which you don't see in many places these days. In fact the value of the place being £12.50 each for a lunch buffet is such good value for money. If you were spending the equivalent on a takeaway you wouldn't be getting much food. The range of food was good, not as much as I have seen in Chinese restaurants in the past, but it's a good range for a lunchtime and there was plenty of the favourites. Really tasty food, both had a plate of starters and then some mains and it was all really delicious. Ribs, chicken satay, prawn toast, lemon chicken, noodles, egg fried rice, all great. A few random dishes such as little sausages and hash brown balls that I can only put down to food for the kids. The atmosphere was good, seats comfortable, and dining experience very pleasant. Will be going again soon."

Wagamama Spitalfields

Cafe • Pizza • Juice • Western


"This branch of Wagamama has a special place in my heart not only because of its amazing location but also because it is very different from the other branches I have been too. Its located on the first floor and as you walk up the stairs you can get the beautiful view of the Spitalfields. There are a range of shops and restaurants located here but my choice is Wagamama. The size of this restaurants is pretty decent and if you like to sit out and have a view while you eat you can do that too since it even provides outdoor seating. Me and my husband decided to sit inside since it was too cold for me and also because we get more privacy inside. We came at a very odd timing around 4.30pm so it had very few people and was not busy at all. The staff were kind enough to let me choose a table of my choice inside. We began by ordering few soft drinks and my absolute favorite Miso Soup. The Miso Soup was just the way it should be in taste except for the fact that it didn't had enough Tofu, I felt that they were stingy with it but otherwise it was flavorful and healthy. For our mains I ordered for myself Prawns Firecracker and my husband had Yasai Katsu Curry. I preferred my dish over my husbands. The Prawns Firecracker had a mild spicy flavor and a lot of colorful veggies. The gravy was nice and tangy and went perfectly well with the Rice. The Yasai Katsu Curry was another completely different dish, it was enjoyable and wonderful but my favorite dish here is the Firecracker which is so satisfying for me. Both the dishes were filled with vegetable which made our plate really colorful, as well as healthy and nutritious without compromising on the taste. The service was a little slow even though there were not many people in there. The quality and quantity was excellent nothing to be complained about that and if you have a taste card you even get a discount on the bill. I had a great time here and if you are also a Wagamama fan you should surely try this branch."

"Once it was received that a potential new member of 100 black men of london, damian george, had a connection in a Roti shop, president elect saw it as his urgent duty to find out whether the Roti shop was worthy of a presidential stamp of the permit. Despite a journey of over 1 hour from me, I have taken over the epic challenge to reach hilltop roti in west ealing. and for the happiness for me it was not only worth the trip, it meant my weekend started with a fantastic Friday! from the minute I went, I was warmly welcomed and felt at home as if I had fallen in the family. although on the menu no double with pholourie were available, it was the perfect starter for me. it was worth waiting as it was cooked, this version with extra spice in the tamarindensoße was really exceptional and full of taste. my ginger squash to wash it was the perfect companion. as I enjoyed the very generous portion size, I was little to know that it would affect my ability to manage my ital roti. while at some places in the life size 'may' not important when it comes to the art form of eating redi, especially after having a generous part of pholourie, size does surely important! especially if they factor in the E-P-I-C size of the redis at hilltop! so my ital roti was introduced and to say that it packed a stamp would be an understatement. callaloo, channa, pumpkin and kartoffeln are the usual ingredients, but president elect asked to garnelen (as she ran out of channa. So my ital became a tailor-made product worthy of every president! I had many a rotten life in my youth, but I can honestly say I had no so full of flavor! through! and with a part of the delightful pfeffer available, I could regulate the heat on my little ones, how and when I wanted! this epic roti was twice the size of the rotis I bought before! when I came through with a smile on my face half, I was fully satisfied and satisfied, but what kind of one eats only half a roti? so with another delicious ginger quash for the support I have attacked the 2nd half of the roti and also some of the delicate full taste of the mutton roti my esszimmerpartner tried out with my peice at the end I decided very hard to accept the so I will probably be forced to prove myself! little mistakes: there were no Soca games when I visited! total summary; hilltop is a place you can sit for 2 hours and enjoy delicious, fresh, full flavour trini eating, excellent value for money, with excellent customer service, (plus, you can also bring your own alcohol! a must visit place, recommended by 100 black men of london president elect!"
