The Stockpot, London ENGLAND
We wanted to try this no frills eatery located across the street from our hotel. The dining room was basic and cozy, and our waiter was very outgoing and confident. The menu was really eclectic and all over the place so it was a bit hard to decide on anything. I’m always wary of restaurants with large menus filled with random items because I feel like they won’t cook any of the dishes REALLY well. In this case of The Stockpot, I was right. All the food we tried was marginal. This soup looked unappetizing and was really bland.

Cuvee Jean Paul house red wine. Half bottle £7.50
At least the wine was really affordable!

Soho Square. This is such a cute park and a perfect location to picnic with friends. We met up with an old SF friend who lives in London now, and along with a group of his friends, partied with too many bottles of champagne at this park. It was a blast from what I can remember, lol!
The Stockpot! You have just brought back a sizable chunk of my London life I’d forgotten. It sounds as if the food hasn’t changed. lol.
The place actually had great online reviews, so I was surprised that the food was so bad.
It’s an institution, going since the 60s. Perhaps some one ought to tell them to stop. lol.
Oh! I didn’t know that? I can usually forgive lil’ mom-and-pops and old time restaurants for their random mistakes and their few failed dishes, but we really didn’t enjoy any of the food we ate here. The food was just bad… 😦
