My first visit to a chain Casual Dining Restaurant for the podcast – the sacrifices I make! A group of us went to Zizzi just outside Paddington Station for diner & a natter. The natter was great, the food & service less so. We opted for the Autumn Set Menu – not a bad deal. 3 Courses for about £20.  https://www.zizzi.co.uk/menus/autumnsetmenu. Food was passable, service was glacially slow, the resolution effort was minimal.



Would I return? Not willingly, but would not miss meeting up with friends if they chose this place again to eat, and seeing them was well worth mediocre food! Next time I might suggest one of the excellent Middle Eastern places on or near Pread Street. Not much more expensive, but much much better food & atmosphere!

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!

Tibble’s Nibbles Lockdown Edition – Travelogue Part 2


A subsection of a subsection starts this week! Producer Stu and I reminisce about food we’ve eaton on our travels. Taking place roughly in chronological order, we talk about our adventures in food.



Starting with Holidays in France, we flit around the world, taking in a lot of Western Europe. Food we loved, foods we couldn’t stomach and everything in between.



What are your holiday food stories? What did you try growing up you can’t quite believe your parents let you try? What will you never have again?



Let me know in the comments below!
