    I'd heard good things about Canteen (which the weekend lines also suggested) but was sorely disappointed.

    Maybe they had an off day, but the service wasn't great (the tall skinny blond guy was good tho) and the food a let down. The fish and chips would have been a disappointment in a pub, but at least in a pub 12 would get you 2 serves. Likewise my Eggs Florentine were overcooked with a nasty tasteless hollandaise sauce - which my boy suggested tasted like "snot".

    The side of Potato Gratin was fairly tasty, but so oily I got pimples looking at it.

    On the plus side the location is great, I love the communal benches and its nice to see so much natural light on a sunny day.
