Cheap Food

• Tagine Restaurant on Goldebourne Rd
• Mike's Caff down by Finches is like a nice greasy spoon. Nicer than the Anglo nextdoor to Tescos on Portobello Road. And then there's the 192, and Cafe Med etc on Kensington Park Road, or the First Floor Restaurant on Portobello Road, for proper dining. Alastair Little's restaurant "a" on Lancaster Road is nice too. Small food, big plates, though I hear it's closing. Also, don't forget Bibs on All Saints Road.
• lots and lots. books for cooks has a great testing kitchen - but you have to book.
• The Spice Shop off Blenheim Road has an amazing array of world spices and herbs,BUT they are pricey.A 100g packet of yellow mustard seed cost me £1.65.I later saw a fresher packet the same weight in a large supermarket in Southall for only £00.65.Service here by the all women staff can be moody and curt with a fed up /hurry up ambience.
• sunday lunch at the portobello gold - nice, but watch out that you don't get fleeced. items on the menu tend to go missing on the way to your table, and complaints fall on deaf ears. also, watch out for the "optional" service charge. the grove cafe insists on service charge, even though you might have had a bad time - very temperament staff. sausage and mash cafe in ladbrocke grove - great comfort food! new culture revolution [opposite pharmacy] - cheap and filling.
• The Chicken Grill at the Gate is quite good though £7 for a half chicken and veg a bit dear. Otherwise hard pressed to find anywhere.Even Time Out slams The Pharmacy.
• Geales fish and chip restaurant is one of the best things about the area. But if you want something that's just as good, but not quite so posh, try Costas just up the road.

• Loads and loads of places to eat in Bayswater too
