British, listings for Waterloo
Pieminister
Posted by Manne in British, Fast food, Homely fare, Take away on January 28th, 2010
Frequent visitors to Borough Market probably know of the pieminister brand already since they have had a stall there for quite some time. As Weebl & Bob so aptly have pointed out in their inimitable style, “pie good“.
Pieminister are according to themselves and their “manifesto” firm believers in locally sourced natural ingredients. Making “great British food that tastes lovely” is what they are passionate about.
What started out in 2003 as a small two man band making pies for friends and festivals today delivers delicious pies to some of the best cafes, food halls and delis in the country. The shop in Gabriel’s Wharf sell the pies with a choice of vegetables, mash and gravy.
Read some of these pie names and tell me you don’t want to drop everything you are doing and go down to the Wharf straight away: minty lamb, chicken of arragon, thai chook, heidi pie, matador (chorizo and beef…), moo and blue (with stilton!)… Lovely.
In the summer Gabriel’s Wharf is a lovely place to go to have a browse through the designer shops, buy a treat and sit down among the outside tables and enjoy the sun and atmosphere. Great way to spend a relaxing lunch.
Skylon

Feeling fancy today? Not keen on the ordinary lunch grub on offer? Head to Skylon, located in the Royal Festival Hall, and dine in style. With a magnificent view of the Thames and seasonal modern European food served in the beautiful dining room this is bound to make you feel glamorous (but perhaps your wallet may have a different opinon).
Masters Super Fish
I have lived in and around Elephant & Castle for years and thusly walked past this chippie so many times. Located towards the far end of Waterloo Road the red brickwork and green and gold sign is very easy to miss. When you do notice it, it doesn’t really make you think it will amount to much. Just another chippie, right?
Riverside Terrace Cafe

With a fantastic view over the Thames this is a great place to go for a simple and cheap bite to eat. Not sure if there is any associaiton to Canteen, on the other side of the building, but the food is indeed equally good albeit served in styrofoam cups proper canteen style over the cafeteria counter.
Canteen Restaurant
Posted by Manne in British, Homely fare, Restaurant on March 12th, 2009
Canteen looks like a cross between a school cafeteria and a minimalistic Scandinavian diner. Serving simple, traditional British food, their philosophy is clear: sustainable, seasonal, honest, fresh.
