• When I lived on Kew Road I loved Newens often incorrectly referred to as Maids of Honour after the curd tarts they famously sell. They also did amazing old fashioned cold pies such as turkey and ham with lots of meat jelly holding it together, salmon pie and great quiches.

    Another notable mention was Outsider Tart who specialised in American food and cakes. Each item for sale was a heart attack waiting to happen. So good and yet so so bad.

    When I moved to London I was amazed to find there was the real Mario’s Cafe which was the name of a a Saint Etienne track. Food was so so but for a music nerd that wasn’t too much of a problem.
