And let's just say..I love English food, whether it's take away, pub food, or a posh restaurant!! My frist trip to the Starving Man was the day I arrived from a month study tour in Lucca, Italy and was desperate for a burger....SOMETHING that wasn't pasta or pizza! I had a burger and chips and it was pretty f---ing fit! I think I had fish n chips later in the week! MY FAVE! The other visits have been purely in search of one thing...a kebab! YUM! You can't really get anything like a good kebab in America (that I've found) and I enjoy them! A little lemon juice, ketchup and mayo! It's the great ending to a night out or sitting around my friend's kitchen table having a few glasses of vodka and a spliff! Im back in a week and I'll be sure to spend some of my "pound-age" at the Starving Man!

You only need look at the positive reviews on the web to realise that this small, unassuming…read moreburger, pizza and kebab joint is an enduring classic with the locals. The reason being is the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. On the weekends it can get busy after hours as the pubs and bars empty and punters look for a quick bite, but everyone always seems in good spirits. The highlights for me are the pizzas, which have a thin, crispy base, and the lamb kebab which is very simple, served with naan, fresh salad and yoghurt sauce. It's good, honest food that you can't go wrong with.

Being sober, I was in a good place to judge the quality of the food, despite the relative lateness of the hour. I actually opted for the basic donner with salad, chilli sauce, garlic mayo & the standard whole green pickled Peperoncini chilies (a condiment combination recommended by my cousin - who's been here before - but with the peperoncini added myself - gotta have those). I'd say it was a decent kebab for an after party binge, but not necessarily one I would choose for during the day. This place gets extra marks, however, for their use of lavash bread. It's advertised as Naan on the menu, but it isn't, it's much thinner and quite tasty, making a change from the norm. Perhaps, for this reason, I'll return to try their chicken or mixed kebab.

Having the overwhelming urge to get a takeaway one evening, I ventured down the road to Ashton upon…read moreMersey (an area of Sale) to see what they had to offer. Not exactly being spoiled for choice and with hunger pangs kicking in, I decided on Sorento as it looked reasonable inside. As well as a choice of 28, yes 28, different pizzas (including five varieties of calzones) they offer pasta dishes and burgers/kebabs from the grill. I ordered their 12" pepperoni (before I'd seen they did calzones - gutted) and waited seated for about 10-15 minutes for it to be cooked. One thing I'll say is they're certainly not stingy with their toppings and cheese. It tasted ok but it wasn't amazing (didn't expect it to be gourmet) - think of a slightly better pizza than you might have ordered as a student... I'd go back again to try something else from their large menu. Tip: you can get the non-calzone pizzas in 9", 12" or 14" sizes.

The Womble Inn specialises in selling cooked meats (so-called 'barbecued' chickens, drumsticks, ribs etc, although I bet you won't find the merest scrap of charcoal anywhere near the place.) It used to be located more centrally in the Square Shopping centre, but has now been shunted to the outer end of the town centre. I wouldn't mind betting that this was in part to do with the smell of the place that brings to my imagination what it would smell like if you were to actually cook a womble, legendary creature of wimbledon common, fur and all. I wouldn't recommend this, especially to anyone with anything less than a cast-iron constitution, as the cooked chickens are average at best...

For those that happen to be stuck in the Trafford Centre on a marathon shopping exhibition with their family or beloved however, Pizza Express offers a moment of respite. Admittedly, if there's a pause between songs on the stereo you can still hear the faint sound of thousands of people marching to the consumer drum but otherwise, Pizza Express is a great place to unwind, eat and recharge your batteries. Like the other city centres branches, the menu is extensive with a long list of meat and vegetarian pizzas with every topping you'd imagine from mozzarella, parma ham and pepperoni to capers, olives, asparagus, artichokes and courgettes. One of my favourites is the Padana - which is goats cheese, spinach and caramelised onions on a thin and crispy base. My advice? Stay here until the shops have closed and the masses have driven home. It'll make your escape / exit much more relaxed.

They're owned by and use Albert Bartlett, which are usually good quality potatoes so of course, they didn't disappoint, this is probably one of the best take-out, fast food potatoes I've had, the potato was piping hot and naturally buttery, the toppings were also good, and it was a good portion too. My food came to £5.48 with two toppings, cheese and tuna mayo with sweetcorn. The staff seemed friendly, they were happy to talk me through the allergy information as the sheet they gave me was a little hard to read, but it was simple enough. They were busy so there was a slight delay where my potato was sitting there, while I waited to pay, in that regard, it's kind of similar to Barburrito or Subway but for potatoes. Much improvement on the old Spud U Like and I'm really excited to come back, potatoes might not be anyone's first choice in a food court but with potatoes this good, they should be! 4*
