I love going to La Masseria because it's like being back home with my Mamma! Not that Barbara is like my Mum by the way, but the food is gorgeous and when you sit at the table you always end up having a bit of a chat and a laugh with the owner, Barbara, who really makes you feel at home.
The coffee and sandwiches are top notch and very reasonably priced.
Well done Barbara! Highly recommendedI love going to La Masseria because it's like being back home with my Mamma!

The most ridiculously over priced cafe in the area. Â£5 for toast & coffee ! Cheap & nasty ingredients & sour service at the tills. Plenty of much better places on the surrounding side streetsThe most ridiculously over priced cafe in the area. Â£5 for toast & coffee ! Cheap & nasty ingredients & sour service at the tills.

A pleasant sandwich shop with a personal friendly touch. A good spot to have some soup and one of the many types of fresh bread they offer.

Try the divine custard tarts and the excellent value rolls. The latter (all under Â£3) are filled while you wait and there is a vast range of fillings, including beautiful hams and salamis, sliced on the spot. My favourite is spicy chorizo with salad and mayonnaise.Try the divine custard tarts and the excellent value rolls.

Weather permitting, this is what I suggest for a full blown satisfying lunch without denting the budget. Drag yourself to Biggles, the sausage specialist â¬ÜÃ¼ber allesâ¬", and grab one of their Sausage Torpedo sandwiches at Â£2.50. The quarter pound sausage is indeed huge (for the Imperially challenged itâ¬"s at least 20cm in length) and served simply with a freshly baked baguette. The sausages offered daily are generally restricted to two choices, Bigglesâ¬" hallowed Cumberland and a guest star variety like Toulouse, Boerewors, Cajun, etc. Thereby with the sandwich on tow, now proceed to Paul Rothe & Son the delicatessen on the same road and grab a cup of one of their homemade soups or Cha. The perfect location for this cheap and delicious lunch can be found on a bench just outside the Wallace Collection in Manchester Square. Perfect bliss.

The Bigglesâ¬" sausage sandwich quite simply questions the validity of The Banger Brosâ¬" efforts, in terms of quality, quantity and value.

NB Mr Biggles is not the sort of man who engages in small talk.

If Waitrose hadn't been invented as an alternative to Marks and Spencers food, it would have been necessary to create it. Waitrose ready meals give M & S a good run for their money (although it is not QUITE M & S food, as the adverts state), and there is a far wider variety of other goods.

Traditionally, Waitrose has been one of the most expensive supermarkets, but they have responded well to the price-conscious consumer and the need for more price competition in the current market, and they now do good special offers each month, and publish a leaflet giving details of the monthâ¬"s bargains. They have yet to match the glories of Marks and Spencers Â£10 dining for two, however.

Very good venue for excellent fruit and veg, a good variety of groceries, flowers and small kitchen items.

Cadenhead's Whisky Shop & Tasting Room - whisky drinkers paradise by clubby2

Whisky lovers every where should check out Cadenheads.
TheCovent Garden Whisky Shop is the only shop in London that sells true malt whiskies. They said that they usually have over 170 or so malt whiskies in stock,so when I went gift hunting I was really spoilt for choice. That did make it hard to pick some thing but the staff were helpful.
If you are looking for some thing individual and unique then this is the place for you.
They never add any artificial colouring to their whiskies to enhance the colour and it is not usual for more than one whisky to be bottled at a time. This means that each malt even from a from particular distillery can offer different flavours. I chose the cambletown malt for my gift and it went down a treat. Will be back to buy a few xmas gifts here very soon, but need to budget for this as it is not cheap here.Whisky lovers every where should check out Cadenheads.
