In the UK this week, need restaurant recomendations

I'll do some reaearch as to where Sunbury is but I'm down in Wiltshire.

Let it be known that BBQ is not a big thing on this island so your choices are going to be more twoards Curry.

If I'm honest from what I have noticed the Brits were traveling people so breads and the such are the backbone. Not much variety in that at all. Most dishes here are Curry's fry-ups and roast dinners so nothing really original or far from what is an everyday thing back home. The French influence then kicks in.

Get in London areas and there are plenty of restaurants alongside the Chinese places. Now I could truly be ignorant so Browser and Carbon will chime in and educate me but I just don't see a real food base here that is 'true' English.

There is usually a good meal had at a local country pub but that can be hit-and-miss depending on location.

I guess if you found a place that cooked great goose you would be in there.


I'll keep looking.

Sunbury is in Surrey, I was thinking Salisbury being that is close to me. The search continues but I have been given tips to head to wards London. A trip there really won't work with your schedule hua?

Passed on to me for you..
Rules in Covent garden it's neas Sunbury, take the train to Waterloo station and then taxi there..

Been over several times, and the meal that stands out as "best" for me, other than a "Full English" breakfast was some street food I bought from a middle eastern street vendor outside Chelsea stadium after a football game. It was some garlic chicken wrap thing with a very hot sauce - flippin' amazing!

Probably rat, but good!

It was more like midnite, but it sure was good. Made the last train to Birmingham, got in at 3 and had an 8:00 am meeting. Typical day in the life of a sales guy!
