A question about : Suggestions for good reasonably priced restaurants in your area please.

Hello everybody,

I was surprised not to find an Eating out thread on this site so I thought I would start my own!!
Could I ask you all to give us the name and 'phone number of your favourite restaurants in your area of England please.
It would be helpful if you could list children friendly and adult only restaurants separately.
I'm taking the family to London this weekend to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which I hear is fantastic, so I would appreciate some suggestions for children friendly restaurants near the London Palladium.
Anybody else wanting suggestions for a certain area, please feel free to ask here
Many thanks

  • Great idea Victor!!
    I've got two all you can eat Chinese restaurants in Folkestone:
    Oriental Buffet, 18-20 Rendezvous Street, Folkestone - 01303 227356
    Owned by the Ghurkas and all you can eat for Ј5 lunchtime and Ј7.50 evening (at least it was last time I went!!!)
    Kalala, 2 Castle Hill Avenue, Folkestone - 01303 211128
    Bit more up market but similar thing, I think this one is about Ј9.50 for evening.
    Enjoy!
  • Lovely Indian called the Royal Bengal in Kettering - 01536 510747 - they do the best kema rice
  • Thank you both, shame there's been such a poor response
  • We love the Primo Piano italian restuarant in Leek, Staffordshire 01538 398289. (Near the marketplace).
    Its an upstairs room, very intimate - more for adults really.
    Excellent food, English choices too. Great service. Never been disappointed.
  • most pubs are now offering decent homemade food and cater for kids with a non-smoking area and one of the best is yates - they do a special kids menu and a buy 1 get one free for adults menu.....
  • I like Ed's Easy Diner in Piccadilly Circus and Soho. Good value for money and child friendly.
    They have great burgers and Onion rings and their shakes are yummy.

  • Singbury Thai Cafe in Leytonstone High St. is great value for money at around Ј12 per adult with two dishes. It is not licensed but you can take your own drinks and they are also very child-friendly! There is a big Turkish supermarket nearby where you can get your drinks. Open evenings only. Enjoy!
  • There is an all you can eat Chinese in Worcester that is pretty good - Angel Chef in Angel Place near the market. It is Ј4.90 for all you can eat lunch and Ј9.90 for dinner. Desserts are gorgeous! Mint choc gateaux and strawberry jelly....mmmm
  • Thanks everybody, this is more like it !!!
  • North East Kent - vicinity of Leeds Castle.
    The Harrow, at Ulcombe - small pub with sit-down restaurant
    Run by a Frenchman, never had a bad meal there, generally pay Ј8-13 for main course but he always has a 'menu of the day' 3 courses Ј12 (if i remember correctly) and about Ј8 for a bottle of basic wine. His cooking is great, but sometimes they don't remember to light the fire, and if chef has a bad day then they close early - but i can forgive him all that for the flavour of his food!
  • Hiya.....
    The lighthouse Inn in Capel-Le-Ferne near Folkestone is great.
    Foods fantastic, small childrens room for them to have a play in up till 8pm, nice garden with swings and slides etc.
    Bar area is adults only but nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
    They do a good range of food from lightbites to al a carte, kids meals are great too.
  • This is in response to the original poster's query, though I know it's too late now! Sorry, I've never read the local board before. Perhaps it will help somebody else.
    The Palladium's somewhere off the east end of Oxford Street, isn't it? There's a noodle restaurant on Soho Street (just off that end of Oxford Street, opposite the Plaza shopping centre) called Soba. They have happy hours from 5-7pm on weekdays, longer on Saturdays (can't remember exactly) and all day Sunday, where you can get any main course for Ј4. Normally they're about Ј6.50 which is still cheaper than a bowl of pasta at most Italians in London.
    The food is yummy, the service is very fast and seems friendly, and the drinks are reasonably priced. The happy hours are great because they're ideal for pre-theatre!
  • Teoh's in Bristol. They have two branches, one in Tudor Road, BS2 and one in Bedminster, by the Tobacco Factory. Authentic oriental food, vouched for by various nationals.
  • For Indian(napalese) I have to recommend The Munal, bottom of Dover House road Putney. Huge portions, no need for a starter as unless you have starved for a week you wont get through the main courses. Me and DH usually share a rice and main dish and we both have big appitites. Around Ј10 a head with beer.
    For Chinese/japanese Slurp Noodle bar in Wimbledon broadway. Canteen style (sharing bench tables) serving huge one plate freshly cooked meals. The bento box and ramen make for a slightly different experience at around Ј6. The freshly pressed juices are delicious. Great place for a pre theatre or cinema meal
  • Whilst there are some good value restaraunts I could recomend the easiest way to access them and get free food is to join Hi-Life Diners club at www.hi-life.co.uk. The membership is currently about Ј45 but for this you get a restaurant directory with about 700 restaurants in it; each of these has an offer which may be just a free main course but many offer 3 courses free if you buy 3 courses, i.e. 2 of you can eat out for the price of one and some of the restaurants will let you take advantage of the offers more than once.. Unfortunately the scheme is not nationwide but is growing and stretches from Congleton/Macclesfield area up to Cumbria and from Liverpool to Yorkshire going West to East. For anyone in the Manchester/Bury/Rochdale area I would strongly recommend 'Old Hucky's' in Heywood; Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday they have a 3 couse specials menu for Ј15.95 - food and service excellent and wine list reasonably priced. I must state that I have no connection with Hi-Life other than being a member and none with 'Old Hucky's' other than being a very satisfied customer.
  • Rafu's in Highworth and Swindon have a "786" deal on take-aways from Sun-Thurs. As the name suggests, Ј7.86 and a choice from 3 menus all offering a main course, vegetable curry (the size of a main!), rice and naan bread. Great food and one portion is enough for 2!
  • Thai Corner offers fantastic food at reasonable prices and great service!!! (for those in the area - they do home delivery take away as well.)
  • Thanks again everyone, still open to more.
