Episode 32 – Zizzi Sheldon Square near Paddington Station

My first visit to a chain Casual Dining Restaurant for the podcast – the sacrifices I make! A group of us went to Zizzi just outside Paddington Station for diner & a natter. The natter was great, the food & service less so. We opted for the Autumn Set Menu – not a bad deal. 3 Courses for about £20. https://www.zizzi.co.uk/menus/autumnsetmenu. Food was passable, service was glacially slow, the resolution effort was minimal.

Would I return? Not willingly, but would not miss meeting up with friends if they chose this place again to eat, and seeing them was well worth mediocre food! Next time I might suggest one of the excellent Middle Eastern places on or near Pread Street. Not much more expensive, but much much better food & atmosphere!

Podcast Episode 23 – Temper Soho Sunday Lunch Review

We visited Temper for Sunday lunch and came away very disappointed. Click the link below to find out why!

In short, we were way understaffed for the number that we were, the food was cold and the vegetable portions were miserly. for £20, there are so many better places for Sunday lunch.
