I’ve been going to this restaurant since I started working in central London about 10 years ago. At the time it was a shining light of quality in a sea of pretty terrible places north of Mornington Crescent Station. I used to go for the lunchtime specials, which are great value, but this time I went to try the hotpot. I’d seen people eating it many times and it looked amazing, and finally I had chance to have a go myself.

My Lockdown visits continue with a visit to Poppies in Camden Town.



We went on spec – I only go into places that clearly have good hygeine and that aren’t busy. The latter is sadly a very easy task in the current environment. Poppies had only 3 tables in use when I was there, when normally it’s packed.



The Fish & Chips are some of the best I’ve had and certainly the best I’ve had in London. The haddock was fresh & perfectly cooked, nicely battered and crispy. The battered sausage was the same, not over-battered either. The chips are fantastic – proper chipshop chips with the right fluffy texture and just enough softness to make them right.



All in all, you can’t go wrong with this place – worth a trip for me, and probably worth a trip for you too!

As we're in the inter-lockdown period, I took a trip out to have tapas with a friend of mine. We finished up with ice cream from a nearby ice cream parlour!
