I have been to the Kings Arms a number of times now and keep going back - it is so easy to get to, only a few minutes from waterloo station

They serve great value tasty Thai dishes. It is always busy so you may find yourself waiting a few minutes at the bar or for a table if you are eating but it is always well worth the wait.

Have been here a few times. You are always guaranteed a warm welcome from the owners Bryan and Jackie, and the food and atmosphere doesn't disappoint either!

I was here to celebrate a cousin's 21st party therefore we had half of the enclosed court-yard area at the rear of the restaurant.

Had asparagus with a very light blue-cheesy dressing, followed by one of the best steaks I have had in ages, sirloin with au poivre sauce on the side and french fries - perfect!

We all ended up with a special fresh fruit gateau.

Well recommended.

If you ever find yourself in Lassi on the island of Kefalonia, Greece, do check out the Sirtaki Garden.

A bar in a garden setting,it is the perfect place on a balmy evening to sit back, un-wind, sip a cocktail and listen to the tunes.

Love this pub!

It is situated in a conservation area on a really pretty street, not far from Waterloo Station. The pub is set on a corner and looks really small from the outside.

It does get quite busy with the after-work crowd stopping off for a drink, but obviously thins out later.

As well as serving decent beers and wine this pub does some of the best Thai food in London IMO. At the back is a huge conservatory which is given over to serving the food (though you can eat in the front).

It does get quite busy so worth booking a table, and you can't pay for the food by credit card.

Red Pepper Bistro - review by flojo

Was in Halifax over the weekend and was beginning to despair of finding somewhere half decent to eat when lo and behold we stumbled across this little gem of a place!

Warm and inviting (and not just the staff!), we had a really nice meal. It was difficult to know what to choose to eat, whether to go for something off the specials board, the lobster festival that was going on or just stick to the menu. In the end, I skipped a starter and had baked cod wrapped in parma ham, in a lovely sauce (can't remember what but was yummy) plus prawns and scallops, served with roasted new potatoes and a side salad. Followed this up with Strawberry Eton Mess and washed down with a lovely Sauv Blanc.

Perfect end to a great day!!

Well worth checking out if in that neck of the woods.
