  King of Greasy Spoon Pub Lunches

  Current

  The King Charles was a regular lunch time haunt for me for many years. As k_thrn says - it's a pub and it's grim BUT they've a good jukebox, a fire in the winter, even a cat at times. But what really makes it for me is that you can order in food from anywhere you like, you can bring your packed lunch in if you wish!
  
  Recommended if you fancy a drink and any of the cheap and cheerful food from the area - be it African, Thai, Malaysian or some fried eggs and chips from the Blue River Cafe across the road. There's seats outside too. I always found the staff really friendly and I enjoyed those occasional Friday lunches. Be warned, it's only open for lunch on Fridays, otherwise go in the evening.

  This place stinks

  Current

  It literally stinks of all the things pubs are meant to stink of; beer, fags, old men, and more beer. But we love it yes we do. Mind you, not enough to give it more than two stars.
  
  I'm giving it two stars for two good reasons. At lunch time you have two options:
  1. Order you food from the caf across the road. They'll deliver it when it's ready.
  
  2. Phone the Royal Thai (menu's are on the tables) and have them deliver a piping hot pad thai straight to your table.
  
  How good is that?! Surely worth two stars at least?
