Default FAO London city people......

Does anyone know where you can get a traditional christmas dinner at a restaurant around the city? (obviously not now but for December )

Looking about all I can find is poncy food with starters like this:

Pheasant, Pancetta &Calvados Terrine with Apple & Bramble Compote

Whats wrong with pate on toast?



Cheers

Kris

hardly a mission to walk a few hundred yards is it the mile is full of offices, starbucks, and overly posh restaraunts - go out a bit and you get the hotels and proper pubs.

whareabouts your office?
