if you can't find anything that takes your fancy, head to lecsiter square, there's a bloke there who sells pizza for a pound a slice

but it's not a long trek as everything is in the same sort of location if you want to walk for a few minutes

Aberdeen Steak House? Ł1 a slice of pizza?

If you're going out in the West End, you can eat at a lot of places for not such bad money.

How many of you coming up? Beccy? What sot of food, and what budget?

Let me know when you're up here, as I'm London most weekends....

Maria - Yes, I LOVE Steak. I have looked at those Steak Houses before, when we have been to London and never really known if they are any good.

Richard - Yes, it's me a the missus. Where do you suggest to eat, that's not too unusual (I'm a fussy bastid!!)

Perhaps I can drag her into a lapdancing club!!

Well, there's no harm in trying.

I'll let you ask her if you like. I think you will find that she only likes one kind of meat.

Back on topic now peeps!

Depends on your budget on how far you want to go.

For example, I know a lovely little Pizzeria just off Oxford Street on Dean Street called Spacca Napoli. Really reasonable priced food, and you get amazing over baked pizzas.

If you want more expensive, I know some places, but it depends on what sort of food you fusy bastards want!

Amazing though that you're leaving Norfolk for something not car related!

You cheeky fooker. We often venture out of Norfolk when we get the chance and can find someone mug enough to look after Rosie.

We are eating first, then going to a show that should go from about 8pm until 10pm and wanted to go somewhere else afterwards.....

theres lots of places in covent garden if your going to theatre land area

pon is right about dean street,,,,, though he failed to mention that old compton street crosses through it or that its in soho

TGI fridays is a good cheep place for a meal that you can have a laugh with, we go there every 3 to 6 months with work for a piss up and always end up in roadhouse,,,, mental place there that i RECOMEND BIG TIME,,,, always a laugh but then depends on your taste,,,, as im less fussy and rather have a laugh then a bottle of wine with dinner

TGI's do some MENTAL cocktails !!!!!, but be warned of the bar bill,,,, as we average 900 just for 10 of us and theres only 5 who do the cocktails,,,, but you can eat in there for about a less that 100 quid with drinks and a laugh !

We are travelling down in the morning, will probably pop to Selfridges in the afternoon as we will have 2-3 hours to spare, then eating out, then the show, then whatever we decide to do afterwards. We are then staying over and driving back the next day. So not too bothered if we have a late one.

Just a case of deciding where to go!

Erm, no. Cocktail Sausage as 'Chop says.

Right, I'm still waiting for some suggestions of where to go after the show or we might end up wandering around Soho and into a Peep Show!!

We will certainly go for a look in the sex shops, last time we saw a middle-aged couple in there buying a plastic fanny for him. She had obviously dried up. Bless.

I knew you of all people would pick up on that. And no, they don't do a "Stephen Hawking special" or anything like that!
