For a spring trip to London, I am planning 3 dinners. One will be at Tayyab's.
For the second, I am leaning toward St. John. I would love to read comments from those who have eaten there.
And for my third dinner, I hope to have wonderful local seafood. J. Sheekey is one place that seems to receive good reports but I am a bit leery about the fact that it appears to be part of a min-chain. What is the local opinion of this place and are there any other great seafood spots that also have a couple of non-meat offerings?
Many thanks!!

London Eating--great seafood? St. John?
For a spring trip to London, I am planning 3 dinners. One will be at Tayyab's.
Report Abuse
For seafood, you might check out recent reviews for Zilli's and Livebait (the latter if you plan to be on the Southbank).
Some of my best eating experiences in London have been with the mini-chains. I've not found they have the kind of "chain" problems American chains have.
Report Abuse
Thanks, Zeppole!
Zilli's looks to be Italian, though, and I want to concentrate on British seafood preparations..
Livebait appears to have an outpost at Convent Garden..I will do further reading!

My husband works in the seafood business and travels regularly to London. He says J. Sheekey is his favourite place to go in London for seafood, and he knows they have very good quality standards there. Although there are a few other restaurants in the group, it's not like a "chain" place at all (the menu is completely different at J. Sheekey than at the others). We've also been to Livebait but it is more of a "chain" than J. Sheeky (there are a few Livebait restaurants, with identical menus) - and we've found that Livebait is good but sometimes hit and miss - he prefers J. Sheekey to Livebait.
Report Abuse
I think there is a Livebait in Picadilly.
My London friends constantly bemoan there is no longer any real British food in London -- although what they are nostalgic for, I'm not sure. J. Sheekey does get good notices, and I wouldn't be too put off by the mini-chain thing. I stick to non-British food in London -- but I'll be delighted to hear good reports of good food of any sort there!
Report Abuse
OK..then it is settled! J Sheekey it will be for the seafood meal!
Thanks to both of you!!
Report Abuse
I certainly wouldn't call JSheekey part of a "chain" -- mini or otherwise.
Sure, it is owned by a company that owns other restaurants - but the Ivy, le Caprice, Daphne's, JSheekey and the others are all totally different, long standing places that were independently owned at one time.

I have eaten at St. John; it must have been about five years ago. My aunt, who lives in London, took me there for dinner with her second husband and children.
I thought everything was delicious--not spectacular--but really good and filling. The service was great because our waiter had a really wicked sense of humour.
I remember having bone marrow and pigeon and I think kidneys. The pigeon was very good and I usually have the pigeon at Le Bec Fin--the pigeon at St. John was better.
Report Abuse
well the ultimate British seafood is fish n chips!. If you want something a bit more upmarket (and much more spendy) try Bentleys. There's an oyster bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs both run by the brilliant Richard Corrigan. Highly recommended.
Report Abuse
Cholley! Bentley's looks good as well...too many options for such a short visit!!
I have no intention of leaving London without trying fish and chips. I have all of the info on another thread here. Friends just returned and had good things to report about Rack and Sole but I suspect you will say that that is poncey! (You see, I am learning the lingo!)
Thin: Oh, dear--"good and filling" does not sound like a recipe for a fabulous meal! The marrow bones are one of their famous dishes so I was planning on having those, too..maybe I could stop in for a plate at lunch and then fit in another dinner someplace else!!

I ate at St. John's Bread & Wine (sister restaurant to St. John's) a few years ago and it was terrific. I've not been back but that's mostly because there are too many other places to try. If you check out the menus (and prices) you'll see that B&W seems to feature smaller dishes, and I didn't find it overwhelming (and I usually eat two starters rather than a starter and a main).
I had a nice meal along similar lines a few months ago at Hereford Rd: http://www.herefordroad.org/
If I had to choose between St. John's (either location) or Hereford Rd I'd still go for St. John's. I particularly like the St. John's esthetic (or some might say the lack of it).
Report Abuse
Another place you might consider is The Harwood Arms:
I haven't eaten here yet (will do so next week) but it looks quite nice.
Report Abuse
You caught my eye again !
Just to say I haven't eaten at St John yet but it is one of my ambitions. We love Fergus Henderson's books.
Also, although, I haven't been there either, I'd choose Bentley's for seafood as it's now run by the great Richard Corrigan. J Sheekey is a trendy place - nuff said.
Report Abuse
We dined at three of the above mentioned places a few weeks ago (trip report coming soon, hopefully). All of them, I feel, require advanced booking.
St. John was excellent as always (I can never get enough bone marrow).
Hereford Road was good as well (very small restaurant). Had excellent black pudding.
The Harwood Arms was quite good, I would consider this a true gastro-pub. We actually ate here twice (the second time was kind of last minute, because we were nearby). Ate a wonderful trotters on toast & crispy pigs ear starter, both times.
If I had to pick one of the three it would be St. John, although with more nights the next two would be chosen as well. I can also provide more details, if you like, later this evening.
Report Abuse
Yes, please, Will..I would love to read more details about St. John.
I only have 3 dinners so have to plan carefully. And I will have 3 lunches, too, but do not want to have big meals at that hour, or else we will spend most of our visit inside restaurants!!
I had never heard of Richard Corrigan before--Bentley's looks wonderful!
Report Abuse
Hi Ekscrunchy,
Here are some additional details about our meal at St. John.
I made reservations about a month in advance (we dined on a Friday). The restaurant it self is very minimalist, think white. Service was excellent, very nice wine list (primarily French).
Now on to the meal.
Since this was our last night in London, we started with glasses of Champagne. Our wine for the evening was a Crozes Hermitage from the Rhone.
We began with the Roasted bone marrow for myself & a pollock & potato starter for my wife (L). The pollock dish was quite interesting, L liked it. Bone marrow was incredible (like Bourdain, I believe this would be my "death-row meal").
For our mains, L had a pigeon & beetroot dish (I even liked it & I am not a beet fan). I had a special, snails & sausage, they were in a type of broth, amazing mix of tastes.
Both dishes went well with our wine.
For dessert we shared an apple crumble, that met with the approval of our waiter.
So that was our St. John meal...if you like any information about Hereford Road or The Harwood Arms, I can give that.

North Sea Fish and Chips was mighty good last time I visited.

Will: Many thanks for the report about St. John. I will book ahead--they are on OpenTable which makes it easy! The only problem is finding something on the menu to please the travel partner!! (I am not sure if the braised squirrel or the goat's curd is going to do the trick!)
And I will check out North Sea Fish and Chips, too--thank you, Thereyet!

I think you have been convinced on J Sheekey, but if not, think of them as one of several restaurants with common owners rather than as a chain.
On several trips we stayed at a friend's flat in The Cut, just a few doors down from Livebait. We would make a reservation, then take the day flight from Boston to LHR, go to the flat, drop our bags, and just beat the post theatre crowds from the Old Vic. After a delicious dinner and a couple of drinks, we were ready for bed and up without jetlag in the morning.
Across the street, should you stay in the area, is Konditor and Cook, a bakery-cafe-whatever with pretty good light food.

I started to write that Richard Corrigan used to have the Lindsey House - then googled & found it seems he still owns that. We found our visit there quite exciting. He also has a very good book out at the moment - 'The Clatter of Forks & Spoons: Honest, Happy Food' - and I got DH it for Xmas.
Btw we had squirrel (from our local farmers' market) for the first time a few weeks ago and it was quite tasty.

CE: I CAN"T WAIT to show my partner here the squirrel suggestion! How did you prepare it and would you make it again?
(Many people do eat squirrel in the US; there is even a famous dish from the South (probably Virginia, although the Georgians claim it, too) that has squirrel as a main component... Brunswick Stew)

Ackislander; We are staying across from Barbican, at a friend's flat. I wish we had more than 3 days! And we have to take the night flight, unfortunately. I think that the day flights are fabulous--I took one not long ago to Paris and was amazed at how, by doing that, I eliminated any jet lag.. If I had my choice I would do that every time I visited Europe!!

One more question:
JSheekey opens for dinner at 5:30pm. (Bentley's opens at 6pm)
Do you think it would be possible to dine at JSheekey and make it to the Royal Court Theatre on Sloane Square in time for a 7:30pm performance? How long, more or less, would it take to walk from Sheekey to the Royal Court?

Isn't St John more focused on offal and less 'fashionable' meat cuts, than seafood?
Report Abuse
You can get from St Martins Lane to sloane sq in about 20-20 mins on the ube - walk to Embankment and get off at Sloane Sq.
There's no shortage of eateries in Sloane Sq (Don't ask me - I wouldn't be seen dead there!)
Report Abuse
From Sheekey's to the Royal Court is at least a 45 min walk - and that's being brisk and knowing the way.
By tube - well check what tfl says, but you'd struggle to do it door to door in much under half an hour (Leicester Square to Sloane Square.) A cab MIGHT do it in under 20 mins - but possibly at that time if it's raining it could take as long as walking.
Surely you cook squirrel the way you'd cook rabbit?
Report Abuse
RM, it is indeed - I believe eks is planning a seafood meal as well as visiting St John.
eks, DH made a fairly simple stew (onion, garlic, carrots, the usual) with the squirrel but it was getting late, we were hungry so only cooked it for c.0.5-1 hours, Like I said, it was tasty; but would have benefited from longer, slower cooking - maybe 1.5-2 hours ? Also we could only get 1 that time, and you really need 1 each, so it was really only a taster.
The only slightly disturbing aspect was the way it came packaged - whole and skinned, they do look rather rat-like...
Report Abuse
Sorry, I've just re-read the OP, and you're right Caroline.
All feel free to ignore my not-very-helpful comment, in that case!
Report Abuse
Squirrel's going to be on the tough side, so stew/fricassee is the usual. And the resemblance to rats is hardly coincidental.
Since we're giving meal details, I'll tell you that I had the following at St. John's Bread & Wine:
herring roes on toast
calves liver and some sort of smoked pork thing with mashed celeriac
The fact that I wrote this down someplace is pretty scary.
blood orange jelly with sponge

P.S. Apparently Fergus H's book suggests braising it with wild mushrooms so you've got that whole 'woody' thing going on.

We thought the Rock and Sole Plaice in Covent Garden was over-rated. The food was good, but not outstanding - and the ambiance is dreadful: linoleum floors and formica tabletops.
Our favorite chipper is the North Sea Fish Restaurant on Leigh Street, a block down from King's Cross/St. Pancras. It's moderately expensive, but the halibut I ate was the best I've ever had, anywhere.
Report Abuse
flanner, yes, you're right, same as *wild* rabbit - i.e. something with real muscles !
Report Abuse
Thanks, R. I think the debate about the fish and chips in London might be akin to the debates here in NYC over pizza.
I don't care much about ambience so the linoleum and tile would not bother me. But I do want top quality since this will likely be my only experience with "real" fish and chips for awhile!
Ok--so let's discuss fish and chips. Where? What kind of fish is best to order?
Report Abuse
Although there are some concerns about overfishing, so you might prefer to order haddock.
Coley or hake might also be offered.
Report Abuse
The best kind to order is a matter of individual taste. If the shop doesn't specify, you'll probably get cod or haddock, which are a little too 'fishy' to my palate. I therefore prefer the subtle flavor of halibut and sole, and am willing to pay the premium prices these varieties command. These fish demand more care in cooking so that the flavor of the batter doesn't overwhelm that of the fish.
In high-end shops, they maintain separate fryers for offal fish and gourmet species for this reason. Speaking of which - cooking potatoes or (argh!) onions in the same oil as the fish is a no-no which is not generally observed in the street-corner takeaway shops.
Report Abuse
Fish and chips shops don't generally serve fried onions.
Nor are you likely to get 'gourmet' species battered.
Report Abuse
This is excellent info! For some reason I thought plaice was a major species in the fish and chips world!
Will: I looked up the menu at Hereford Road. I would like very much to read about your dinner there, if you don't mind taking the time. Their menu might be more appealing than St. John for my partner, who is a little staid in his eating habits (they have pork belly on their menu, for example, which I know would please Mr.Fussy.)

I have never been into a fish and chip shop that served fried onions.
Nor have I been to a chippy that batters lemon sole, sea bass, red mullet, monkfish or any other 'posh' fish.
The fact that somewhere out there there may be one or two very untypical upmarket places that do serve poncey fish battered, or some generic cafe that does fried onions, hot dogs, kebabs, fish and chips etc alonside one another (ie NOT a fish and chip shop) doesn't stop your comments from being yet another stupid and inaccurate generalisation.
Report Abuse
RM67 has got it right.
Plaice is often - though not always - available at proper chip shops. It's not that often ordered, partly because a lot of people don't like the taste that much. The reason you're aware of it is that chip shops, like fireplace shops, have an uncanny habit of attracting horrible puns as their brandname. Puns on cod are both incomprehensibly erudite and mildly filthy, and rock has such a horrible reputation no-one would name their shop after it. Sole and plaice, though, are perfect pun fodder - both on the shopfront and in the kind of bad tourist journalism American newspapers go in for, but this forum is mercifully free of.

Here is our dinner from Hereford Road.
Like I stated above, it is small, maybe 30 seats. More modern decor. We booked in advance through their website.
A friend & his wife joined us that night, so we sampled a few other dishes, as well.
Wine for the evening was a Burgundy. My friend doesn't really drink & his wife is pregnant, so they did not partake.
Started with the black pudding, simple presentation with an egg, very good. L had the beetroot salad, which she thoroughly enjoyed & our friends split the sardines, which were very nice.
For our mains, I had the pork belly (great crispy skin). L had the Guinea fowl, which was excellent & our friends ordered the steak & kidney pie for 2. I thought their steak & kidney pie was quite good (although it was the 1st time I have ever tried it).
Dessert we split a buttermilk pudding & the sticky date pudding. Both were very good.
I thought the food was quite good. The service ok, I was never sure who our waiter was that evening.
I think you could probably find something on either menu for your dining companion.

One thing about Rock and Sole Plaice, they rang up my charge card in dollars rather than pounds without asking me. When I protested, they said their "machine" couldn't do it any other way with a U.S. card. I had the charge voided and paid in cash. Later, John, manager at the Morgan Hotel, said that it is illegal to charge in dollars without asking and that no "machine" is incapable of charging in pounds.
Report Abuse
The place I really, really enjoyed for fish and chips in London the time I went was Masters Super Fish (near the Old Vic Theatre, not far from the Waterloo tube stop), which I liked much better than Rock and Sole Plaice. I thought the fact that cabbies and police were eating there was a good sign, and it turned out to be. Found out about it at the Chowhound website, which is a valuable resource for eating out.

This is great information!
Will: I love pork belly and guinea fowl, so that dinner at Hereford Road sounds particularly good. The challenge will be that I only have 3 nights! Maybe substitute Hereford Road for St.John???
Please keep the great information coming! Many thanks!

Were it me I'd stick with St. John's over Hereford Rd. Hereford Rd was excellent (hmm, what did I have? sardines, followed lamb, followed by Eton mess? not sure, really, apart from the Eton mess, but that's because I'd drunk rather more champagne than necessary before dinner that night) but the decor's fairly modern and the food is actually more modern in execution than it sounds on the menu. St. John's feels genuinely different from other places, IMO, and for that reason I'd stay with it.
Either of these restaurants will be a bit of a challenge with a timid diner, but not an insurmountable one.
Report Abuse
Thanks, Therese! I would prefer St.John and am trying to work up the courage to show the St. John menu to my partner-he has already nixed the idea of the squirrel!
Have you read this article, which mentions both places?
Report Abuse
When I was growing up, in England, cod was the default fish in chippies and haddock and plaice were the alternatives (and a bit more expensive). I agree you don't see plaice as much now and I myself went off the taste when I got older. Not that I am at all averse to 'fishy' tasting fisk (?!?). Here in Scotland, haddock is the default.
Buying cod is a bit of a minefield. Until recently all cod from British waters was bad but Icelandic was OK (and still is). As far as I can reconcile conflicting stories, the North Sea off England and the waters off the west coast of Scotland are still bad. However stocks are right up in the North Sea off Scotland, fisherman are having to throw them back and are pressing for a quota increase. So I occasionally buy it at our local farmers' market (from an Eyemouth fish merchant) in the hope it's OK, probably just by-catch anyway and would be thrown back (dead) otherwise.
I don't think there's much chance of most chippies knowing or caring where their cod comes from, though. (Although in Sheffield last weekend I was interested to note the opening of something like 'The Green Chippie' advertising sustainable fish.)
But if you are only going to have it *once* in your life, I wouldn't worry about it
And you have to go to St John so you can tell us all about it !! Seriously, it is the very top of my restaurant wishlist.

I've wanted to go to St John for ages.
The pudding menu always looks great (they do Sussex Pond Pudding) - but some of the mains scare me a bit. They do generally have at least one thing for less adventurous eaters though - like roast Gloucester Old Spot.

One point in Caroline's excellent note on cod is dangerously misleading.
When she says English cod is "bad" she means "politically incorrect". There's an enormous hoo-ha here about overfishing, and the fact that North Atlantic cod is close to extinction. The subtleties of the argument elude me (not an admission I usually make about anything) - and anyone who says different is either deluded or a lobbyist for one or other interest group. But just about everyone agrees that, by eating certain kinds of cod, or cod caught in certain ways, you're contributing to the imminent disappearance of a species that's been as important as sheep to European culture and livelihoods.
No-one's ever claimed cod's bad in any other way.
Properly cooked, there's no such thing as cod that's not tasty (though in the kind of crap kebab shop that sells cod as well as fried onions and dubious chicken, or the sort of ponceteria that sells sea bass, badly-cooked cod turns into cardboard you can't even use to wrap things in). Unlike mackerel, there's no food chain problem leading to mercury poisoning if you eat too much. I've never encountered "off" cod in half a century of fried fish addiction.
Report Abuse
The Conran chain went through a phase of not serving cod at any of its restaurants to try to help with the overfishing problem. They had little notes on the bar and restaurant tables telling you why they wouldn't serve it, and what you could have (fishwise) instead. I thought it was quite an admirable thing to do.

What an exciting review of eateries in London! Thanks to all as well for the info; I am planning a spring trip also.

Thanks for that clarification, flanner - it hadn't occurred to me that what I said was capable of misinterpretation.
Interestingly DH had plaice the other day, I tasted it and found it nice despite having previously said I no longer like it. We subsequently found that Hugh Fearlessly-Eatsitall says it's one of those fish which does spoil very quickly, so I guess I must have been previously put off it by having less than spanking fresh specimans once or twice. I'm the same with mackerel - I find I can only enjoy it from the best of sources (i.e. not a supermarket), otherwise it tastes too strong and oily for me.

Just read this thread, and would definitely vote for Rock and Sole (you did mean Rock not Rack, right?) over North Sea Fish. I've eaten at both and thought North Sea was overpriced and pretentious, with no basis for the pretension. Plus their white wine had no taste. I grew up in the UK, and once worked briefly in a chippie, and I've always eaten plaice rather than cod, and still do when I'm in England.
eks - are you going to save room for cream tea? I know it's hard to work in with both lunch and dinner, but I hate to go to England and not get clotted cream and scones. (I eat it at the Orangery in Kensington Gardens, and hope to be there the end of the month.)

Don't even think about skipping St. John. The quality of the food there is second to none and everything is so interesting. I always start with the bone marrow (usually in the salad) and get whatever the special of the day is. My last visit it was roast pheasant for two and my husband and I had to pick out the buck shot. No farm raised birds for Fergus. Everything is wild.
You'll love all the food. I'm in London about 3 or 4 times a year and am amazed at the quality and inventiveness of British cooking. It ain't your Daddy's british cooking. I must say, that of all the restaurants I've experienced in London, St John, Clark's, and The River Cafe are my favorites. There are plenty of small local declicious places to eat but the three listed never fail to deliver.

Booking a table in a chippie is like booking a table in McDonalds. They'd laugh out loud at you. Just pitch up. If they're busy go to the pub for half an hour and come back. You'll be fine.

I had a memorable dinner at Tayyab about two weeks ago. Here's what I wrote in my trip report:
Dinner -- New Tayyab
Incredible Pakistani food in Whitechapel. Order the lamb chops. It's BYOB but beware -- the neighborhood has only some pretty barebones Off Licenses. I couldn't find a bottle I liked, so we had the mango lassi, which was delicious. Make a reservation, as the place is very popular and very crowded.
And if you're looking for something to do Sunday night, this is what we did:
There we liked the look of a place called Leong's Legends -- and this was a revelation. I later learned that it is famous for its dim sum. As it happens, they keep a few on the dinner menu, too. We had the vegetarian and the crab meat dumplings (astounding), a plate of the green beans with minced pork (vibrant) a fiery dish of chicken and chilies and another of lamb in an aromatic broth (delicious, but the lamb itself was an odd cut and a little gummy). Drank a bottle of NZ sauvignon blanc.
For fish and chips (Monday night) we went to North Sea, also mentioned in the report, which you can find here: http://www.fodors.com/community/europe/winchester-london-and-wales.cfm

Given the interest in Tayyabs, perhaps I should expand on that. The Karahi lamb chops are served as an appetizer and as a main course. You find them listed on the back page along with chicken Tikka dish which my wife ordered, and this too was superb. She pronounced it the best she'd tatsed, and since she orders it in every Indian restaurant, I suspect she knows ehat she's talking about. The chops are seasoned in punjabi spices, then grilled I think, and finished in a spicy sauce. Mine were medium rare tending towards rare, exactly as I like them.
Side dishes were Sag Allo -- spinach and potatoes, and Karahi mixed vegetables bell pepper, eggplant and some others which I can't recall right now, served in a light spicy sauce. Naan and rice pilaf, of course.
The mango lassi, which I'd never tried before, was not as sweet as I feared, and had a nice salty under taste. I really didn't miss my wine or beer. Well, yes I did, but there was nothing to be done about it.
Service is brisk -- you'll be in and out in an hour. Or you'd better be, because the people standing in line are watching you . . .

I recently made reservations at L'Atelier for lunch and Boxwood Cafe (one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants) for dinner in a few weeks. Any comments on either of those places?
I am now also thinking that we need to check out New Tayyab for a meal as it sounds right up our alley.

I've just returned from a whirlwind 3-day trip to London and want to thank everyone here for all of the helpful tips. After all the conversation back and forth about fish and chips, I regret to inform you all that I had but one lone bite of this dish--not at a chippie, but at JSheekey. So that will be one more reason to return soon!
We had 3 dinners and one lunch. I was astounded by the goodness of the food in London! Almost every dish was excellent!
Lunch--Green's, Duke Street (chosen by my sister who had been in London for a few weeks prior to our arrival)--the mixed seafood platter was the single best dish of the trip
Dinner--J. Sheekey--Dublin Bay prawns were right up there at the top of my list. Remarkable! Dover sole excellelnt, as was the smoked haddock and th fish and chips (haddock)
Dinner--St. John--fun, lively, relaxed place. I would return. Bone marrow and parsely salad (not on the menu) is truly an iconic dish.
Dinner--New Tayyabs--Great fun taking the tube to East Aldgate and walking around. Tayyabs is a scene--packed full by 6pm! 28pounds for 3 people; BYOB. Quality of meat on the famed lamb chops is not great, but overall I loved the place. Wish we had Indian/pakistani places like this one in the US! The best Nan I have ever tasted ("Peshwari Nan" on the menu) Makes me want to return to London and explore many other subcontinental eating spots.
We agree that service in London restaurants is not the same as it is back home...much less attentive. With food like we ate, we did not care.

Glad you got some good eats How amazing your brother in law is Andre Gregory. Vanya on 42d st is simply a great film. And I'm among the few people who actually saw his controversial productions at the Inner City Cultural in LA, and of course loved them. Hope you enjoyed at least some of your dinners with Andre himself while you were there.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the report, eks ! So glad to hear you went to St John & had the marrow. I hope we will get there soon.
Interested to note your comment on service. We much prefer hands-off service to being bothered all the time. I don't want to be asked insincerely if everything is OK - if it's not, I'll tell them. And I can't bear the sort of place where someone refills your glass every 2 minutes. I think it's probably a question of what you're used to - maybe in general, Americans are used to (and so prefer) more attention, and Brits/Europeans are used to (and prefer) less ?
So - are you going to Ischia ?

Hi Zeppole: I am going to pass on your comments about the LA productions! He certainly seems to have passionate fans! While l waiting on the immigration line at JFK coming home, a couple tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I had been at the Wally Shawn/Andre Gregory play the night before. They had flown over from NY just to see it!
Caroline: I think the service is more like that in continental Europe. It really did not bother me, because i agree about not wanting to be bothered with intrusions and solicitations for compliments about various dishes! Service is really not so important to me; the service at Tayyab's is pretty awful (waiters barely understand English, forgot to bring dessert, etc) but I did not care at all..it was part of the package.
I had not been to London in 20 years and simply cannot believe how the food has changed. The Indian food alone would be worth a trip! If I have some time, I will write a little report on the dishes we ate, etc. (I have to finnish the Piedmont report first!)
By the way, we wanted to go to Bentley's but it was not open for dinner on Sunday; my sister did eat there and thought it was absolutely superb!!! Yes, we are planning for ischia in September. I have to get my airline tickets soon...
Report Abuse
Eks, thanks, please do pass them on, as well as my admiration for Vanya on 42d st. I was quite young when I saw the L.A. productions, which were designed as a school theater program but were so controversial our school classes were forbidden to see them -- so naturally I had to go! Driving by myself to the theater location was an adventure in itself because it was not all that long after the watts riots, and the theater was in a mixed-race neighborhood. I'm sure not sure what would have happened if I'd told my mother where I was actually headed with the family car -- rather than "I'm going to see a play" -- but mothers knew less in those days anyway (mercifully).
I think at my age Tartuffe would have been a shock even if I'd seen it done in powdered wigs, but Gregory's production was a great introduction. He resigned in protest over the next production -- and rightly so -- but it was a real loss to what little cultural scene LA had. Anyway, he probably left many students with a sense that theater was dangerous -- and that was a good thing.

So glad to hear you had a great trip, eks! Sorry we just missed each other but I'm sure you had a very busy schedule. I very much wanted to see the play on Monday and tried to get tickets but apparently it wasn't on that day. How did you enjoy the play itself?
funny you haven't been to London in 20 years. I am so smitten with it now that I had to wonder if I had changed or London had changed.... obviously both! After about 8 trips there in the past 25 years, this trip has made me a full fledged Anglophile. I ended up eating at Boxwood cafe, Arbutus, and Masala Zone, all of which I would recommend. The first two are Gordon Ramsay restaurants (Boxwood in Knightsbridge and arbutus in Soho).

Hi Ekscrunchy
I was in London in May and went to Rock and Sole plaice before a show on the west end. Honestly, no offense to those who love it, I thought it was of very poor quality. Neither the fish nor the chips had any crunch and both were unsalted. On the other hand, I did try North Sea Fish and Chips and it was the best fish and chips I have tasted. The chips was absolutely amazing, had the right amount of salt and crunch ,many walked in to order just to chips only, very generous portion too. the fish was also very fresh and very tasty. I highly recommend it, it felt and tasted very authentic.
Have a great trip

You're supposed to put the salt on yourself!
And just to add a bit of perspective the North Sea restaurant is about twice the price of the Endell St place.

We stopped for lunch one day while walking around London- two weeks ago and ate at J Sheekey and loved it! Everything is fresh and classy and fairly expensive, but we had just returned from Italy and were ready for some really good seafood- wonderful. My husband had the halibut and I had the prawns with fresh green beans- heavenly! Be prepared though- even at lunch everyone was dressed up (except us). A friend had lived in London and recommended it to us. Lunch was probably a better deal (price wise) than dinner would have been and it was the best meal ever!! We also had good food at some of the pubs (Cheshire Cheese- on Fleet street after we visited St. PAUL'S)- it's fun exploring and trying new places. We loved London and hope to go back and see more of the villages outside of the city- but there is so much to see inside this beautiful city. Keep looking up at the architecture- unbelievable!! Our son and his wife live in London so we visited them and then took a trip to Italy. Fun, but we actually loved London the best. Have fun!!

"Waitrose--Is there a better supermarket anywhere in the world?"
I'd be really intrigued to hear what you think Waitrose offers that's not done every bit as well in just about any French hypermarket (except of course for wine. But then French grocers have never understood how to sell wine).
On butchery, game, fish, cheese and charcuterie Waitrose (even the flagship in John Lewis Oxford St) still lags practically every single Carrefour. True, WAitrose have more imaginative chilled, pre-packaged, ready to eat meals and pies. But on the other key product - fruit & veg - Waitrose is still on a totally different, and sadly inferior, planet than the whole French industry

Flanner I have only been in a couple of Carrefours, so cannot comment. Those that I visited were truly impressive as well.
Report Abuse
...I should add that most of the Carrefours I have visited have been outside Europe. These, and the few in France i've been to, were most impressive.
I suppose, in my post-trip enthusiasm, I was comparing Waitrose to the poor excuses for supermarkets we have here in the US. The dairy products, the shelves of eggs, the fruits and veg, the jams and preserves, the teas--all far superior to even our Whole Foods. (I did not visit the London Whole Foods but heard that that is superb, too.)

I did not get to a Waitrose, but as a segue, may I wax poetic about Walkers crisps? The particular flavor I purchased of these potato chips was caramelized onion with balsamic vinaigrette. It tasted just as advertised. I wish I had brought home an entire suitcase.

Do you know I have a can of White's lemonade (empty) sitting here in case anyone asked me about new foods I discovered!? I did not have those crisps, but I did have ones with vinegar and salt (already in the chips) but I do not have the empty pack and cannot remember.
One of the most amazing things at Waitrose were the blueberries. I have not seen such berries--large and plump and not one the slightest bit wrinkled--since I was a kid. And the eggs! A whole shelf of eggs (not refrigerated); I wanted to try these so much (a friend visited recently and gushed about the English eggs!) that I cooked up a box and took them home with me since I had no time to eat them in London! Sadly, my mustard and jam were confiscated at the airport, however. Some people will never stoop trying to bring verboten things through security!

NCounty: Yes! Look for the ginger beer and their other flavors. My friend also likes the lemonade flavor which was excellent, too. I should know better about the mustard and jams, but I just had to try. I had purchased them to use in the flat but never opened them.
This was the first time I ever took only carryons for an international trip.
I was tempted to go back and check my bag so I could bring the jam/mustard, but my partner began to give me incredulous looks, so I caved in and left them there!

Thanks very much for the book suggestion - I'll make a note to look out for it when it comes out in paperback here. It doesn't sound like the character's experience of Venice is much like ours, though
I have bought Tiptree jams in the past but a long time ago. It's the type of brand which is available nationally in the posher supermarket, and places like Selfridges and Jenners. Recently I've been buying jam from the farmers' market here; however we've just acquired 6 jars of 'Operatic Preserves' made from fruit gathered in Bayreuth by singers in the chorus (at the same charity auction where we acquired our tickets for Bayreuth ). We've just started on the goldengage which I hadn't heard of before and it's very nice - it reminds me more of apricot than anything.
Anyway, you never said if you thought the eggs tasted different from those you get at home ?!
I think you need to come to Edinburgh next - the farmers' market is ace (especially at this time of year), and incredibly we now have 3 x Michelin starred restaurants (1 star) within a 5 minute walk !

No, a gourmad is a rather daft person who likes to eat. Not far from a gourmand, except without spelling skills.
CE: Honestly, the eggs tasted pretty much the same as they do at home. I got on this egg quest because when my "gourmad" friends returned about a month ago, the first thing they told me when I asked about their trip was how great the eggs were! How the yolks were so golden and how they were not refrigerated, etc etc. So I bought some and intended to make them for breakfast but we never had time to try everything (had to try the whole grain bread, the quark, the preserves, the butter, etc etc).

We also have flights to Pisa booked in September, bought at some point last year when they were really cheap : we were thinking a week split between Florence and probably Siena (since neither of us has been to either place for years and never together), but I haven't booked anything else like a hotel as I don't know if we'll be able to afford it.

US firm on track to mirror its core domestic strengths at London outpost.
This year's US law firm financial reporting season is yet to get into gear, but already there are indications that one firm at least will post some belting results for 2010.
Well, to be more precise, one office within a US firm's network. The London office of Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge, a firm that bizarrely has a 14 January financial year-end, was last week cracking the whip on the final bills in an attempt to get as much cash through the door as possible.
But even as its year drew to a close at the tail-end of last week, London managing partner Laurence Harris was confidently predicting the previous 12 months will have been a record for his firm's City outpost.
"We expect to be at least 30 per cent up on revenue in London," Harris told The Lawyer last week. (Firmwide figures were also not yet available).
A bump of 30 per cent or more without the benefit of a merger is hard to argue with, but if you are looking for pointers as to how EdwardsAngell has achieved this, it is worth checking out the firm's recent hiring record.
Firmwide, it has brought in 12 partners in the past 12 months. Five of those were in London, the most recent being Niall McAlister, a corporate partner who joined this month from CMS Cameron McKenna.
McAlister's hire follows those of IP specialist Ben Goodger from Rouse Legal, former head of Squire Sanders & Dempsey's London litigation practice Rod Cowper and Dewey & LeBoeuf insurance partner Francis Mackie.
The firm also hired private equity senior associate Shawn Atkinson from Kirkland & Ellis as a partner on 1 March. Atkinson's arrival, coupled with that of corporate life sciences specialist McAlister, helped bolster the private equity team at Edwards Angell that was launched two years ago during one of the worst periods for deal activity in living memory with the hire of Campbell Hooper & Co partner David Ramm.
"It was tough in 2008," comments Harris. "But more recently David's team has been busy on a number of deals for clients such
as Citibank and Carlyle."
Harris was formerly managing partner at UK firm Kendall Freeman, the outfit formed in 2003 when 13 partners broke away from DJ Freeman to join Olswang.
Harris's firm linked up with Edwards Angell on 1 January 2008, two years before transatlantic mergers became an almost daily event.
He says the new recruits are part of a broader plan to mirror the firm's core strengths on the other side of the Atlantic.
"At the time of the merger we wrote a two-year plan for London that involved us bringing in core US areas that we didn't have here, such as IP, private equity and venture capital," Harris says. "We're now into our second two-year plan, which is likely to see us strengthen several of our existing groups."
So while the initial focus of Edwards Angell in London was to build out from its nascent UK insurance and litigation niches – a strategy best illustrated by the 2008 hire of a 16-person IP team from Field Fisher Waterhouse headed by John Olsen – the firm is now turning its attention to beefing up those areas and complementing them with associated practices, such as finance.
"We don't have a specialist finance partner at the moment and we're also looking for opportunities to strengthen those areas we're already known for, such as insurance and litigation," reveals Harris. "That said, we don't plan to start any new practice areas such as real estate."
Later this year The Lawyer's annual top 30 US firms in London ranking will reveal whether Edwards Angell's recruitment push has been enough to secure it a place among the City's US revenue leaders for the first time.

text: I hear alot about different company's having the thickest deck. How many of you have actually warped or bent a deck? How thick is thick enough 10 ga? 7 Ga? I think my Exmark has 7 ga sides and a reinforced 10 ga top. I would hate to hit something hard enought to damage it. Is there a such thing a overkill on the thickness of decks?

A collection of the papers and reports presented at the seminar organized by the Commission of the European Communities, and held in Brussels, Belgium, on 17 and 18 October 1983. The seminar is part of the Commission's strategy for promoting the exchange of information in this important but complex area of scientific policy. The papers presented describe and analyse the different methods and procedures of evaluation currently applied to R&D in the Community's member states, in the USA and in Japan. They also review the evaluation services currently run by the Community, its philosophy and strategy for the future. Evaluation of R&D programmes is a recent but rapidly evolving discipline and has aroused the interest not only of the scientific community but also of those responsible for R&D policy formation and its practical management. This publication aims to increase exploration in a field of growing importance, by tracing its recent development and indicating areas of future research.

Video surveillance cameras have been installed in public and private places all over Israel and around the world to monitor crimes and accidents and to promote security around the clock. But going over the reams of images takes a great deal of manpower and is very time consuming.Now Hebrew University researchers have found a solution in the form of computer software that provides a synopsis of recorded video, generating a very short video preserving the essential activities of the original video captured over a very long period. For example, a video covering a full day can be summarized in a synopsis only a few minutes long.
