London Stories


Tried this place last weekend, it's an old pub (The Grey Horse) that's been converted into a community restaurant in Kensal Green, London. It's located on Regent Street (not the famous one!) and is called "Parlour". They do a lunchtime meal deal and since we were in the area visiting Daughter #1 we decided to give it a whirl. It was Friday when we visited and so predictably the meal deal was fish and chips for £10, which I thought excellent value for a proper sit-down London restaurant, and the food was really good too, crispy batter, mushy peas and stringy chips, all washed down with a lovely pint of West Coast IPA from local brewers "Portobello" who have their brewery just across the railway line! Total bill for both of us with drinks came to only £34, not many places in town these days where you'd get the same for less than £50. Apparently these guys do a fabulous Sunday lunch and it looks like they have a splendid outdoor area (see picture snapped through the back window below) so maybe when the weather warms up a bit we'll be back to try it out!
