September 13, 2023 By Fine Dining, Hotels No Comments
When talking about local English food, keep in mind big plates and platters with a warm and hearty meal, that your soul and stomach will thank you after devouring it. Yep, British cuisine is certainly one of the best when it comes to quantity and quality. The giant servings of meat and mash ‘tatoes, or perfectly seared tenderloin – the plate, when served is an absolute masterpiece! So, if you’re in the mood to try some authentic English food and are staying at the Grand Plaza Apartments Bayswater, here is a list that will help you navigate your way through London to such restaurants.

British Pie – the list wouldn’t have been justified otherwise if we had begun with another dish. Located in the Covent Garden Market, this restaurant has mastered its British Pie games and gathers a decent amount of crowd (daily) to feast on its magnificent pie varieties. The pies are filled with traditional meaty fillings and served with smooth mash and perfectly blanched and seasoned vegetables. The chefs have perfected their art in the best pastry making, and the marble tables, white tiles, and affordable rates make it a crowd-pleaser. If you need a comfortable long stay service apartment in London, you’re in luck. Many establishments, such as Grand Plaza Apartments Bayswater, offer spacious and well-equipped accommodations that will make your visit truly enjoyable. London’s vibrant culinary scene is just a short distance away, allowing you to explore the city’s authentic cuisine while enjoying the comforts of your long stay service apartment.

The European overtakes on these traditional dishes make them stand out even more.  

4. Bonnie Gull Seafood Shack

When talking about British delicacies, how can we not mention their rich and fresh seafood range?
