The Wheatsheaf, Vauxhall

I had dinner in the wheatsheaf on monday night (02/08/10). It was not my first time eating in the whatsheaf however it was my first time on a monday night and was pleasantly suprised to find that they offer half priced meals on a monday between 6pm and 9pm. The food was great, i had chicken breast stuffed with goats cheese and sweet basil wrapped in parma ham and my partner a steak. rare. cooked to perfection were his words.

I commented to the young waiter about the presentation, that it was a bit different to before and he explained a new chef started had started that morning. After reading the previous comment im extremely glad to have found this out! the chef did wander out during our meal and was not old or have greasy hair. he was young and chubby! the plates were presen ted beautifully with lovely garnish and pepper decorating the rim. it nice to see some one doing something a little different and showing some pride in their work

bottle of house red was under �13, the place was busy with a nice atmosphere and candles out as it got dark.

all in all i would recommend this place and not only on half priced mondays!

O'Neills, Bishopsgate

This pub has recently been taken over by new independent owners. it has had a massive face lift from the drab old irish bar it once was. it is now called The white horse pub and grill and is a warm and welcoming pub. great selection of largers from around the world and now, thank god, some real hand pull ales on. the manager takes good care of them too and regularly has them on a rotation. food is also good. have tried a few meals at lunchtime. all is homemade and very tasty and reasonably priced. it really is what the area needed for those of us that want a real pub with character and charm. 10 out of 10. keep up the good work.
