country line buffet kings lynn

This is the independently run cafe on kings lynn station. I had a full english breakfast for £4.20 which consisted of 2 smoky bacon, 2 sausages,2 eggs,a hash brown, beans tomato mushrooms 2 slices of bread and butter and a mug of tea or coffee. This is really good value no matter what the quality. I would say the quality of the food was certainly at the very high average level and the sausage was far from shabby. It was quite meaty and certainly as good as any mid range supermarket brand and better than anything you would get in a chip shop.
The only poor thing was the coffee which was poor quality instant.
Even the bread was thick sliced though it was a fairly basic white loaf.
Staff were very friendly and i would thoroughly recommend this as a good basic none pretentious station cafe.

maidenhead station sandwich shop

I went 4 a sandwich from this shop a week ago after an assessment. This is an independent station outlet outside but joined to the station. Unusually had a lanb sheek kebab. Very pleasant. The beget it came in was fresh and lots of good salad too.

original plough chelmsford

I visited this pub on the way back from chelmsford. It is right next to the station. Not much interesting about the pub itself really. A few real ales including hopback summer lightning that was expensive and only just drinkable.
This pub was however renamed 3 or 4 years ago apparently and made into a theme pub but after the initial rush it did not do well so it reverted to being the plough.
This is good to see at a time when proper pubs are east disappearing. It will have to keep its ale better though if it wants the attentions an camra.

lubanna african/caribbean restaurant 343 Cambridge Heath Road Bethnall Green London E2 9RA

I visited this restaurant yesterday evening with a friend.  I had Suya, dry spiced goat meat cooked with onions and tomatoes, to start with followed by an African soup with spinach served with beef.  I chose Cassava with this and also had a portion of fried dumplings.  There was plenty of food there.

 

The starter was excellent and spicy.  The dumplings were nice and in general the main was good though the beef was rather tough.  This does seem to be a characteristic of Nigerian restaurants in my experience.

 

The menu here is quite small but the dishes are well prepared and staff were certainly extremely helpful with explanations if required.  the menu is a cross between Nigerian and Caribbean.  It sells the Caribbean things like Jerk Chicken, curried goat etc and it does Nigerian food like Pepper Pot Soup, Jolof Rice etc.

 

This restaurant also sells a range of bottled beers including Nigerian Guinness, and a range of cocktails.

 

I enjoyed my meal here and would give the place an over all value of 7.  It does lose a mark for that slightly tough beef but I would recommend it as the food is generally fresh and of good quality.
