I am certainly not an expert, but from my brief experience in London, pub food was mediocre and only there to give you something to eat with the excellent cask ales! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/drinking.gif" alt="" /> The Italian and French restaurants had the monopoly on good food! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

On the question of pub Food, i have found that for lunch it is the perfect meal for me. Plowmans lunch, Perfect, or eggs,bacon sausages,tomatos and beans, or sandwiches, ham, turkey, beef or cucumber. Just pick and choose. A Perfect lunch for me with a pint or a glass of white wine.

salica: I agree that the food outside of London was very good. I also thought that there was some good food IN London, but just not in the *pubs* that we visited.

I agree that London offers everything for food, It is the probably the world's best melting pot, but there are not any English cookbooks. I am Irish and Irish food is about avoiding starvation and not taste. When in an area ask the locals where they eat. Be prepared for long lines at immigration at LHR when you land. Certainly get out of the city in ANY direction there is a lot of see and do with just random experiences, no planning involved.
