Went to Scott's in Mayfair in March. Brilliant food, wine list and atmosphere. Was like the old Ivy before the fkd it up sticking a bar in the middle. Now want to go there all the time.
When my Uncle first started taking me to football in London (early 80s) we used to go to a burger chain called Wendys. They are now opening up again in the UK nearest one to me is Brighton so will be visiting soon for a bit of nostalgia.

Accidentally posted on this thread when I meant to post on another. Was up in Glasgow today and my old favourite, Noodles in Sauchiehall Street is very definitely closed. A formica laden cafe they served the best food I've ever tasted 😪
The best meal I have ever had was the taster menu at Menu Gordon Jones in Bath. Fantastic interesting food from a great chef. Closer to home,The Old Bank in Westerham serves great food for a special occasion. I recommend the taster menu. Not cheap, but worth it.

Square burgers. Had a branch in Lewisham in the 80’s (opposite the clock tower IIRC).
Not sure I would classify it as my favourite restaurant and favourite meal there…

Keep this post more on track,
After our wedding we stayed in the Grand Hotel Brighton and had a meal in the restaurant.
That is probably my favourite place, everything tasted amazing.
My current favourite is an Italian restaurant very near me in West Sussex called Fino, run by an Italian family who have been in the hospitality trade for generations.

I agree, lets keep it on track
It would be awkward if we deviated from the culinary heights of The Grand Hotel Brighton...
Can anyone recommend a really good roast in SE London (preferably not ages away from Blackheath) that doesn't require booking weeks in advance? (Like the Hare & Billet does!)

Carlton Cole's your man for a recommendation there.

Ashburnham Arms is decent. I think Princess of Wales is too bad personally. Am gutted the Vanbrugh shut as that was great.
Not sure on the Trafalgar or the Yacht in Greenwich, but heard good things about both, though Traf is a bit pricey.
No idea about booking though! And one's judge of a quality roast can vary, of course
Plume of Feathers does a roast. Never had it so don't know if it's any good, but when I've had grub in there before its always been good, so no reason to think the Sunday roast would be any different.
@Chunes have had roasts in every pub in Greenwich (lived here 30 years..) and tbh none of them are 'great'...but....the Cutty Sark pub and Old Brewery (in the naval college) are probably two of the better ones... If you can get on a train, then I would definitely recommend Blacklock Chops, train to London Bridge, cross the river and the city branch is just there on the right...15/20mins from B'heath...
I have just started to work through the MIchelin bib gourmand restaurants; they are recomended for quality and service but not quite at the star class. Went to Kateh in Little Venice a Persian restuarant for an anniversary last week and it was great food, great service, 3 course for 2 - £112.
Chilli crab in Jumbo Seafood on the Changi Road in Singapore. Basic formica table canteen style place, but the crab was so good that i didnt even touch my cold beer until I was 3/4 through it. amazing dish. Was about 2002 though, so no idea if its even still there.
Btw, somewone posted a question about Guernsey restaurant recco's the other day, but i cant find it now. If you see this, The slaughterhouse on the quayside in St Peter Port was excellent six years ago, having just opened. The old mechanical workings of the abbatoir are still a feature, so its not a place for vegetarians. Ive checked its still going, and it's a great location too.https://www.slaughterhouse.gg/
I spent six month on the island, eating out every day, and not once did I get a meal than was less than very good, even at modest prices. It's a great place for food.
Had the ultimate experience at Hell's kitchen, Dubai, in Ceasars Palace hotel. A friend is a high end travel rep, so he organised the evening. Head chef served a tasting of every dish, went with the signature Beef Wellington for main, then the HC served our table with desserts, lighting up the Bombe Alaska. Incredible experience. Other than that, kebabs!

The pasta dishes and the pizza is the best I've had for ages.

Went there on Saturday lunchtime, brilliant food and the friendliest staff in London.
Special occasion job.
Other than that, kebabs!
