shrove tuesday

street food

Forty-Seven days before Easter, a day that will fall between the third of February to the ninth of March. Shrove Tuesday comes just a day before Lent. Traditionally Shrove Tuesday is a celebration of using highly fatty foods to eat before Lent, however as time passed the fatty foods had mixed to be a massive Pancake meal. Since Shrove Tuesday, otherwise known as Pancake day, is a popular day in London some of the best places needed to be visited early: The Breakfast club is a famous restaurant found across the UK, making the best breakfast meals, and surely the best pancake for Shrove Tuesday. Found in Soho, Islington, Hoxton and Spitalfields. CrĂŞpeaffaire A great quality fast food chain restaurant that serves crepes and galettes with wheat flour and gluten-free buckwheat. The restaurant serves both sweet and savoury, pleasing best of both worlds for Shrove Tuesday, missing out would be a CrĂŞpeaffaire. If you're feeling chic and trying a new style of pancakes, in The Borough, Where the Pancakes Are, are a restaurant serving deep dish Dutch pancakes baked in the oven, and are served straight out of the pan. They do both sweet, savoury, and stylish all at once. Head in early if you want a spot at this location!

With so many restaurants around, London can be named one of the best places in the world to eat. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean it’s also the cheapest. Don’t worry though if you’re hungry and on budget as London has the best street food markets to offer. Boxpark and Dinerama in Shoreditch, Brixton Village in Brixton, Bang Bang Oriental nearby Colindale – they are definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for some oriental dishes and interesting cocktails. Usually open from afternoon till late evening, sometimes even seven days per week!

The Japan centre food hall, located in 35b Panton street and an 8 minute walk away from Charing Cross station, opened September 13th, 2017. It is a good example of a traditional Japanese Depachika or basement food hall. Their opening times are 10:00am until 21:30pm every day with wait time of 5 minutes per customer and it is usually busier during the weekends between 13:00pm and 19:00pm. The central food hall seats up to 100 people and has at least 4 hooks under each table so the customers could hang their bags or baskets out of the way so people can walk through the seating area without tripping over. As you walk down the stairs into the main shop you are welcomed by 3 Specialist rooms: Miso room, Sake room, and Tea room. The flagship shop also offers a Brown rice milling service and seasonal events. With every visit I end up with at least one full bag of shopping which is mainly Japanese sweets and soft drinks with the occasional magazine or two depending on who is on the front cover. From their menu I recommend their karaage and katsu curry dishes that sell out by the end of the day as well as their takoyaki which is served at a stall at the entrance of the building.
