I tried this fantastic sandwich/salad bar in Camden shortly after it opened and I've been hard pressed to find a better lunch time spot. With a choice between prepared or build-your-own salads and sandwiches and more recently, soup and jacket potatoes, you've got a whole lotta fresh grub to choose from.

My personal fave is a toss up between the Beef & Blue Salad and the South of the Border Salad. Both feature a delicious mixture of all the food groups and fantastic dressings and certainly provide you with at least 2 of your 5 a day. And the portions are ample enough to keep you tummy from rumbling through til dinner time.

They've also got some great baked goods - the chocolate chip cookies are a delight!

Oh, and I can't forget the staff. They're always smiling and eagar to help you and they're quite good at recommendations.

The prices are good to okay but since you have the option to build your own you can keep you selections within a budget if you need to.

Overall, I'd say this is the best cafe in Camden and highly recommend it because it will indeed give you Reason to Eat.]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 10:54:35 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/138as6n/reason-to-eat28845969 cosy top food good brew lively 51.5376438 -0.1415704 Reason to Eat - review by VickieMac http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cafe/138as6n/reason-to-eat

I had lunch delivered to my office by these guys and the food was very good indeed. I love Hummus but didnt realise there were so many other options that you could do with it. A first also was the Aloe Vera drink which was lovely and refreshing and not quite what I expected. A definate must try for lunch and the next time I am in the area this venue will be on the list for for lunch definately. I didnt go to the venue so havent marked it up for Service or Ambience as it was a office lunch.]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:55:40 +0000 /review/uk/london/takeaway/1823380/hummus-bros1870228024 51.513284 -0.133879 Hummus Bros - review by Lorraine1 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/takeaway/1823380/hummus-bros

I find this place can vary so much from visit to visit. I have been many times. The staff are pretty crap and don't really give a monkeys about the punters and most think that they are all a bit to cool to work in a cafe! The food can vary. Normally it's pretty good but had a fry up one weekend and it was awful.

I've been searching for a decent breakfast place in Soho for ages, but it seems the search goes on..

I've been here 4-5 times (out of desperation!) and the same set of issues have recurred:-
- The staff seem to act as though customers are an inconvenience.
- Poor food. One breakfast I got I had to send back twice because the sausages were so undercooked they were still frozen in the middle (seriously).
- Slow service. For 'cosy' in some of the other reviews read 'slow and disaorganised'. Also tends to open late (i.e., delayed start, not 'late openings'), and fairly slow service, so not a good place if you're meeting someone or are in a hurry.

Pretty disappointing all round. Shame, as it looks promising from the outside.]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:32:30 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1742g7h/the-breakfast-club894099998 quick bite average brew avoid 51.513960210638 -0.13657101467659 The Old School Yard - review by marysimple http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1i36a8q/the-old-school-yard

Hi guys!

Well, what can i say... Just that since the opening of the bar, i've been a BIG FAN and that I really love that place!!!

Everytime I go there it's always as if I feel like home and welcome... The guys are great and are very talented in making one of my most favorite drink.

The vibe there is always good, the music always makes you wanna get up your chair and boogie ;)

All the people I have taken to TOSY had a smashing time...

So what else to add... just get down there, spread the word and I guarantee you that you gonna have an awesome time!!!

if you're looking for the BEST cocktails in town, look no further! and i don't mean a popular favourite or two; EVERY drink on their artistically well-rounded menu is...well...to be quite honest...AN ORGY IN MY MOUTH!

these boys know how to do it! not only are they rated two of london's BEST bartenders, they love what they do and it shows! they serve QUALITY cocktails in style with a touch of flare if you so desire! fyi - best Bloody Mary on earth. hands down.

the atmosphere is the exact opposite of pretentious! bright, colourful and comfortable. massive wrap-around bar, back patio with BBQ, couches, big screen tv and let's not forget the video games; Ninja Turtles and Wii. it doesn't get any better! you are taken right back to your carefree childhood days where fun is a given and stress does not exist!

the music is banging. don't be surprised if you find yourself dancing all over the pub! they play it all and the owners do not hesitate to hop on the bar and shake their tail-feathers to everyone's amusement! if it's a theme party you're after, this is the place! these boys go all out for special occasions! 80s, halloween, live band...they do it all...in style!

the best part of the old school yard experience is getting to know the staff. kind, courteous and ridiculously talented. they're good for a laugh, always make you feel welcome (often with a shot of jager), and regardless of how busy they are, they always take the time to say hello! they take pride in their regulars, and as soon as you check them out, i guarantee you'll become one!

this place is TOPS! deffo worth the trip! i highly recommend rounding up your finest posse and sampling the entire menu in one go! TOPS!]]> Fri, 07 Nov 2008 15:44:13 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1i36a8q/the-old-school-yard1073325913 live music modern pub cool & smart young professionals beer garden trendy friendly relaxed cool 51.50026 -0.088132 The Old School Yard - review by andrea_winkler http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1i36a8q/the-old-school-yard

I discovered The Old School Yard in July 2008 and from then its my favourite bar in London. You always feel welcome - great range of amazing cocktails at very reasonable prices - atmosphere that makes you feel home - dancing to great music - BBQs in the garden - and so much more ....

LOVE this bar -
Definitely a place worth visiting]]> Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:22:46 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1i36a8q/the-old-school-yard321080930 51.50026 -0.088132 The Old School Yard - review by joey_denero http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1i36a8q/the-old-school-yard

This place is fast becoming my new favirote watering hole.

What a great idea to bring all the fun bits of your school days back with a fun twist.

The decor is excellent, there is an open bar area for just talking or if you want to have a dance. The sofa area is set up if you just want to chill and when the weathers good the Garden is excellent for a bit of BBQ !

I love the drinks, served by two of the coolest bar tenders i have ever met, if you are particularly good they might share a shot of jagermeister with you, but the hats off, hands down god damn best drink they serve is The Porn Star Matrini, what a drink.

Good tunes and good people (on both sides of the bar) make this a really friendly and cool place to be, if you are in the area, drop in and tell em Joey sent ya !
