Cheap eats in London

[lizwizz]

Can anyone tell me where to eat with children for a reasonable price in London?We are having a few days there in half term and need a few recommendations but need to keep the cost down too. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry i don't know of any places really, although the Rainforest Cafe is good with kids but i'm not sure how the prices fair. It's like you are actually in a rainforest, it's kinda cool, keep the kids amused. It's near Leicester Square i think. Other than that look at www.timeout.com for more ideas. Have fun!

Just thought, you could also try looking on www.lastminute.com or www.london-eating.co.uk for ideas as well. :-)

If you like Chinese, a few retaurants in Chinatown do really good buffet style meals, all you can eat for a fiver, also around Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, there are places like Pizza Hut which also do Buffet style. Have a nice time.

Chelseagreen I note we both have great taste :)

The stockpot chain is fantastic, my favourite is West End Kitchen in Panton Street just off the Haymarket. You can get a 3-course meal for around �7 no joke. It is cafe style, the food is great, service friendly and very speedy. If you are on a budget, or not really lol, it's an excellent choice. The menu is wide and altered daily. I used to eat there regularly when I worked at the Prince of Wales theatre round the corner, and have since taken many friends and loved ones there who all rate it highly.

Have a lovely time. And if you do get the chance to go anywhere a bit pricier, please try La Perla in Maiden Lane (between Covent Garden and the Strand). It is a Mexican Tapas bar with courses to die for and it is still reasonably priced.

Have fun.

This might be a bit too late, as I have only just registered. Next time your in London. Try The Fryers Delight in Holborn. Fish and Chips cooked in Beef Dripping. Quite a popular place with London Cab Drivers. There is a small cafe part there. I use it Every Saturday night, when I am on Nights. I fetch an order for 12 people, and no camplaints yet. After using for 18 years, I am yet to find a bone in my Cod. Prices are reasonable too.
