So you know how I mentioned in an earlier post about The Brockley Mess that Lewisham has proven quite interesting where food is concerned? There's another place we discovered close to work that serves some great Turkish pizza. Meze Mengal on Lewisham Way. In fact, probably the best pide I've eaten so far!
I haven't had too much Korean food, I'll be honest, except for once in Birmingham at Topokki, and that set the benchmark quite high. Oh and another time at this dodgy underground place somewhere in South Kensington in London. And that made me ill. So I wasn't sure which way my meal with my ex-boss would go. Also, it didn't help that she'd taken us to the dodgy one last time around! I googled Tohbang feeling quite uncertain, but the menu looked very promising, so that made me feel better.
When I first accepted an offer to work in Lewisham, I wasn't at all sure about it. But having been here close to 6 months now, I can say at least this for it - there are quite a few interesting lunch options not very far away! My colleague persuaded me to join her at The Brockley Mess one afternoon, and every week we managed to rope in more people from the team, and very soon this became quite a favourite.
Wow, it's been a while since I wrote a review. Things have been quite manic the last few months, and they're finally settling down now. Just in time too, with summer around the corner, and lots of chilling out to do!
The Diner cropped up on my list of places to eat at last month when I was researching potential dinner venues for my husband's birthday. I thought a diner would be nice and relaxed, and quite up his street, food wise. Giant portions of greasy food, tall glasses of shake, and huge desserts. I picked The Diner because it had the most generous menu of all the diners that came up in my research. That birthday plan fizzled out, though.
So I'm back in my old contracting job, and I'm as happy as can be :) One big reason being it's in Covent Garden, so when it comes to food, I'm spoilt for choice! We had our team Christmas lunch just down the road from work, on Neal Street. A tapas bar called Pix Pintxos. It was great!
