If you are an expat, this will be your new comfort food craving after your first visit. Our group ordered three different sandwiches and shared many brunch dishes and they were all amazing. They serve their buttermilk pancakes topped with bacon and a generous helping of syrup on the side. The eggs benny came with fries and was delish as well. All of their amazing sandwiches come with an individual pickle that is made in-house. We shared a Chicken Cobb (Corn fed chicken, smoked bacon, avocado, blue cheese, boiled egg, tomato, red onion, lettuce & mayo on 3 slices of toasted white), The Toronto (Slow roasted topside beef, melted English cheddar, leaf lettuce, tomato, pickled hot peppers, red onion, & horseradish mayo on toasted sourdough), and The Medley (Roasted turkey breast, smoked ham, bacon, melted cheddar & emmental, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickled hot peppers & basil mayo on toasted sourdough). This place is locally owned and the vibe is very laid back. We went around 12:30 on a Saturday and this place was packed. They take reservations so you might want to make some (we did). Overall, I will definitely come back.

Like most American ex-pats, I'm amazed at how the country that invented the sandwich can't make a…read moreproper sandwich. There are few things in the world less appetizing to me than two pieces of pre-packaged soggy bread with one slice of ham drowning in a gallon of mayo that's been sitting on the Pret a Manger shelf all day. In America you only see stuff like that at gas stations, and even there they hold the mayo. In England, they put so much mayo on those sandwiches that it actually gets listed as an ingredient. So whereas you'd have a chicken sandwich with mayo in America, in England it becomes a chicken mayo sandwich. That's just wrong. And nasty. Enter Pickle & Rye. If this place were in Soho or South Kensington then there'd be lines out the door. True Mortlake is in London's upscale southwest and thus home to several affluent American ex-pats, but I feel like that this gem of a sandwich place is missing out on a golden opportunity by being stuck out in the middle of nowhere. It was a trek to get to even from Fulham, and I've got plenty of friends who think that Fulham is enough of a trek already. Or at least that's their excuse for never coming to visit us. This place would merely have to not completely suck to be one of the best sandwich places in London, but it's really taken the art of the sandwich to another level. The owner / head sandwich dude is a culinary school graduate who roasts all their meats, cures his own corned beef (known around these parts as salt beef), makes his own dill pickles (which are easily the best that I've ever had in England) and Russian dressing, with the result being the finest reuben this side of the Atlantic. I will gladly return to the middle of nowhere for another one.

Some pubs therefore suit…read moreme down to the ground, as they serve a selection of real ales from different breweries and in different styles. Others pander to the lager crowd, offering lagers and ciders and interestingly coloured drinks. Fortunately, the Jolly Coopers in Hampton does suit me perfectly. The Coopers does offer a range of ales, including Twickenham ales (which varies according to season) and Brakespears. The beers are expensive, even for the area, at over £3.00 a pint. They also have a varied wine selection. They have a restaurant at the back, serving 'fine'(ish) food - I've had Sunday lunch there (though I had fish and not a roast). The pub area is tiny, and primarily male (when I've been in), though a very different crowd from the nearby World's End. The clientèle is older, and (not shockingly) real ale loving. In the restaurant area at the rear (which is considerably brighter) you'll find families and couples. The furniture in the main pub is interesting - a lot of copper, oddly. There is one telly, which does show some football - I avoid it on footy days. I don't visit this pub that often, as the Dip (about 1/4 mile away, maybe less) is my regular, but I have enjoyed it when I've been.

I found the outdoor sitting area and the dim and modern interior of the Diner very inviting. As our previous restaurant had us wait a long while for a table of 11, we tried to get a table at Urban Diner and at the entrance, we were quickly shown to a table without a fuss. The waitresses were very welcoming and quickly attended to us. The lady servicing our table seems overwhelmed by the amount of people which came across as impatient but soon after, she warmed up to us and was nice to the kids which is always refreshing! There are quite a few choices on the food menu and some dishes come better as a sharing platter. I had some of the Chicken Wings, Chicken Fillet and Ribs which tasted good but the Salad had no taste to it as it was a bunch of chopped vegetables thrown into a bowl with no flavoring. The burgers looked really nice and those who had it didn't seem to complain-except that it was way too much to finish! The Mac And Cheese which came as a side however, I would not want to have again... Flavorless and not enough Umph! to it. Generally, the crowd were pleased but also had some opinions about some of the food. Overall, the good is fine but if I was to go again, I would stick to what they probably do best. Chicken and Ribs.

Not spectacular, but stylish and decent.

When, after 20 or so minutes I got up to find out if we were ever going to be served, we got the obligatory excuse but someone quickly came and took our order. The food and drinks came. I had ordered chicken strips and the tomato soup. The strips were hot and tasty. The tomato soup left a lot to be desired. It was very watery with no tomato chunks or any herbs that you could see or taste. The people sitting across from us didn't get what they ordered. For the price, I'd say if you don't have to be there, find somewhere else.

The waitress knew this was an issue because when it arrived and I asked whether the vegan burger was actually Moving Mountains, she essentially shrugged and said it wasn't the fake meat I was expecting. Very bad marketing on the part of the pub but also typically bad English service. Avoid the veggie burger. It's awful.

Not much of a demand for comedy writers/improv comics over there. I attended graduate school (MFA in Creative Writing) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and I experienced some anti-American sentiment there. Consequently, I expected the same in the UK. Never saw it. Quite to the contrary, I've never been treated so well. The British treated me better than my own family, which might not be saying much. One day while my British girlfriend (We've since split up) was at work I walked over the Old Manor Pub in Walton-on-Thames during the lunch hour. I expected either anti-American sentiment or at the very least, a cold shoulder. Again the locals and I had a great time drinking your superior British beer and exchanging anecdotes. I've never had so much fun with my clothes on! I would love to email the Old Manor Pub but can't find an email address anywhere. Does anyone know how I can email them? This is a pub you definitely want to spend time in. If only that British lady hadn't dumped me I would be spending my weekends there today instead of Hollywood. I love the UK.
