    I hear the Rock Garden in Covent Garden are doing a good deal at the moment, but sorry, no idea if it's any good or not.

    Zizzi's is always decent atmosphere, not too dear etc. Opposite Bow Street Court and near Pizza Express. Depends what you want to spend really. £50 - £60 you can have the works inc wine

    Try coccoon on Regent Street. Very Stylish and not too expensive. Floridita on wardour street was dead good aswell.
    Failing that and you want to go somewhere a bit cheaper, you can't go wrong with Bodeans!

    la tasca? tapas chain loads of them around, good food and good value.

    one on maiden lane just off the strand near covent garden, and the porterhouse next door is a nice place to drink before/after

    I'll echo that. Went to Zizzi's last night in Whitstable. Nice atmosphere, great food, decent staff. Spent £40 for the 2 of us. Can't go wrong.

    depends - are you hoping to unleash the beast after or is this just a social night out.

    Cafe [Pacifico in Langley St is good night out.

    Isolabella's on Red Lion St in Holborn is a quality reatuarant Italian - thoroughly recommend the Lobster taglietelle

    if you have a decent budget,try hakkasan. i really like it there but some people have found the waiters to be up their own arses.it is slightly lumpy though.

    Thought T's reccs were the best TBH.

    Also Sarrastro is worth a go, very funky decor and they have kind of Roman porn in the toilet if it looks like it's all going west. They do an excellent pre-theatre if you go earlier.

    I could be wrong but i think Tom might be one of the younger members, i guess this as he's very polite and not bitter and twisted like us older ones.

    Hakkasan (would desperately love to go there) and a few other of the places mentioned might be a bit too formal.

    If you really want to impress the Laydee, there's always the Coach House which you will find in the Ruxley Garden Centre. Very nice with a price list to match but it is frequented by a number of Charlton players. Have previously seen Paolo Di Canio, Richard Murray and Dean Keily in there, amongst others.

    I saw this place on a pre-Christmas trip to Ruxley. I never knew it exisited. I must say it looked lovely. Is it as good as it looks?
