Great Family Food Kevin Dundon

They say the Dinner Party that great middle-class social institution that flowered in the 80s is coming back. Maybe so, the music certainly is for those too young to have suffered it the first time round and I am digging out my old piano keyboard tie and bright blue Buggles spectacles just in case.

Bavarian Beerhouse

It’s past 2pm on a Monday and the Bavarian Beerhouse is quiet, which is a rarity in a place known for uproarious good times. At one table three people are sitting with the funny Bavarian hats the bar sells on their heads, they seem unselfconsciously determined to enjoy the experience even if it makes them look like Hobbits on a geography field-trip. Vast glasses of beer are in front of them, even vaster plates of sausages and ham hocks are there too. They have the air of very happy punters.

Hawksmoor Restaurant

The burger deal is part of Hawksmoor’s nod to our cash-strapped times. A lunch special that won’t break the bank and presumably will attract in some of the poor employees of RBS around the corner as they struggle to survive without their thoroughly well deserved bonuses. How does one get by on just a six-figure salary? It’s a nightmare, obviously.
