Apparently Gordon and Tara Ramsey swear by The Bombay Bicycle Club Takeaway in Battersea. Oh dear it is really piss poor and actually inferior to chilled curry's from supermarkets.

I would like to recommend Holy Cow to the Ramsey's which has another branch in Blaham and unlike The Boybay Bicycle (built up by Clapham House from a one off original to mutiple take away hubs and restaurants ).

The ingredients are excellent - good quality chicke , lamb as opposed to ancient cheap mutton and superb vegetables be they aubergines , okra as well as pulses lentile and chick peas. You can request variable spicing and in effect a bespoke high class takeaway.

It's a cool place that does natural, organic ready meals- and they deliver fresh pizzas that the customer cooks at home - a great idea. It's changed quite a bit since opening, definitely worth checking out.
PS - the fish crumble I had was perfect.It's a cool place that does natural, organic ready meals- and they deliver fresh pizzas that the customer cooks at home - a great idea. It's changed quite a bit since opening, definitely worth checking out.

my girlfriend persuaded me to order here for the 2nd time in as many years. The right choice, it wasn't. This is probably THE worst Chinese/oriental takeaway i have ever had. The schechan sauce tasted like tomatoe ketchup with a farm load of grated carrots - yuck!. The ribs must have been beef jerky marinated in tarmac. sauty'ed corgets and aubergines we took one bite and offered it to the pigeons (they had better sense and fly away). Paying money for such horrible food is a complete insult. avoid like the plague.my girlfriend persuaded me to order here for the 2nd time in as many years. The right choice, it wasn't.

What a great service!
I love how you can order things from loads of different menus, it's perfect for parties and having friends round. They do it all really well, too, not so much a 'Jack of all trades'. The food is really lovely, and the price is reasonable given the quality. I had a couple of cold deliveries a few months ago, but when I complained the customer service team were outstanding.

Very average, pizza was alright but the lasagne we ordered was a bit lacking a lasagne we wanted it also to be made without cheese, they added it anyway, and they served us !FROZEN cheescake.Very average, pizza was alright but the lasagne we ordered was a bit lacking a lasagne we wanted it also to be made without cheese, they added it anyway, and they served us !FROZEN cheescake.

A regular saviour. It's not unheard of to get a lamb shish from Istanbul Kebabs sober. So they must be good. Especially when smothered in garlic sauce and chilli.

The only bad thing is that they shut far too early. On many occassions I've called them up on the way back from a night in the West End only to find out they shut early during the week. So I arrive home, hungry, drunk and heartbroken. And not necessarily in that order!A regular saviour. It's not unheard of to get a lamb shish from Istanbul Kebabs sober. So they must be good.

My local caff, they serve a surprising range of breakfasts and other meals. Set breakfasts are good value, going off-piste means the cost mounts up.My local caff, they serve a surprising range of breakfasts and other meals. Set breakfasts are good value, going off-piste means the cost mounts up.

Having read an article by AA Gill on the Fishclub I was dying to try the Fishclub on St Johns Hill.
The place could have had more tables and chairs as we had to go and have a drink elsewhere and come back and I think the decor was a little dodgy in places. They could utilise the space much better. But for an upmarket fish and chip shop it was pretty good.
We had oysters to start with onion viniagrette which were delicious and then battered cod and haddock with mushy peas, traditional chips and sweet potatoe chips. Actually thye choice of fish was pretty endless and you can have it cooked any way you so desire. I think next time I would have my fish grilled as the fish was a little lost in my batter. It was a gret experience -really good fun and the staff were really friendly and helpful. They took the time to explain all the menu and the variations on the menu.
