Normally this section paragraph is where I write some witty (hopefully) mood setting babble, but this time, luckily for all of you review readers out there, there is no mood to set. So let's just get on with it, I am going to be reviewing Village East, it is where Snarf and I go when we can't be bothered to cook, or just want a quick drink, it is our closest drinking hole.
Where is Village East?
Village East is located on the fashionable BermondseyStreet, which is a very short walk from London Bridge Underground & Mainline station & about 5 mins from my front door. I have attached a map to help you all out.
Why Should I go?
There are plenty of reasons to be in this particular area of London, Village East is within a stones throw of many popular London attractions, such as Borough Market, The Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, Tower ...
Advantages: Different shops, unique, less crowded than Oxford St, near oxford circus tube, easy to get to Disadvantages: None
This review is way out of date, Carnaby Street has changed a lot over the past few yrs. Ignore it.
Introduction ~~
Carnaby Street, well it was once the place to go in the 60's and 70's but now it's a bit less well-known. Which I think is rather good as it is less-crowded than Oxford St, Covent Garden, Regent St, etc.
Location ~~
Carnaby Street could not be in a better location. It is just 3 or 4 minutes from Oxford Circus. tube station and is also within easy reach of Marlborough St and is no more than a 15 minutes walk from anywhere in Soho.
Shops ~~

Well I did mention cheap ...
Advantages: Great food, great prices, fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, family welcome Disadvantages: I can't have the chef at home :(
Having lived on the Costa Del Sol myself I have visited my fair share of restaurants from Sotogrande to Malaga. I have to say that the streets is the best restaurant I have dined in to date.
The food is absolutely mouth watering, the customer service is fantastic even down to the fact that the owner brought down his little boy who played with my children during our stay.
He sat and had a conversation with us about all sorts and was generally very friendly. I do admit to drinking a little more Sangria than I should and even living in Spain it's harder than you think to get Sangria freshly made and not out of a tap-not here! Freshly made with fresh ingredients right before your eyes.
The value for money in unbelievable, we fed our family of five with three course meals for 70 euros. I did not begrudge him a penny of it because ...
