International restaurants have long been the source of good cheap eats in the UK – choose from Indian and Chinese to Thai, Turkish and everything in between. But in the last few years British cuisine has undergone a revolution, led by good quality pubs – ‘gastropubs’ – with a focus on simple, traditional dishes done well. It’s great news for visitors: sensibly priced food in the classic setting of the British pub. Look out especially for lunch set menus, which offer a fixed price of around £10-11 for two courses.
Fish and chips, of course, should not be missed; every town will have at least one ‘chippy’ – check out www.seafish.org/plate (www.seafish.org/plate/) for local recommendations – but the best are usually on the coast.
Pre-Theatre dining offers tasty, affordable, early evening set-menus. Examples include St Alban (www.stalban.net/) (two courses for £15.50) and Michelin-starred Arbutus (www.arbutusrestaurant.co.uk/) (three courses for £17.50). Visit Top Table (www.toptable.co.uk/) for hundreds of restaurant offers.
Top restaurants also offer fantastic deals at lunchtime, for example three courses at Angela Hartnett’s acclaimed new Murano, in London, for £25; or Edinburgh’s Restaurant Martin Wishart for £22.50
