Fancy a pint? Love the traditional Sunday roast? Sounds like you might be interested in this list of gastropubs. No listing in Wikipedia yet but back in 1999 I had my first taste and loved it. I read this piece sometime back from Michael Belben..
Our idea was to be an anti-restaurant,” co-owner Michael Belben, told me recently. There were no napkins at the Eagle, no checks (you paid before you ate, like in an old country pub), no pictures on the wall to distract patrons from the task at hand, which was to get drunk and have a good feed. The idea was to focus on the simplicity of old-fashioned food—“British peasant fare, done with a bit of care” was Belben’s description
The next time you are in London, you should stop by and try a bite from one in the list below:
