Eateries near Oval

[Nigello]

Hello,

I know that Cable - the sister place of the Scooter Bar in Lower Marsh - is a great place for drinks and coffee etc, but is there anywhere nearby (near the big church at Oval) where you can eat, or a decent take away (Cable allows you to take food in.)

Cheers,

Nigello

The Fentiman Arms (on Fentiman Road) is a pub that does good food.

Quite a lot in Kennington - The Lobster Pot has a good reputation for sea food.

And there is a lovely Italian deli on Bonnington Sq called Italo.

There are plenty of Portuguese tapas bars in the area...

Fentiman Arms does a decent lunch, if a bit pricey. The deli, Mimi's I think, on the top corner of Brixton Road next to the church, does lovely lunch sandwiches. There's also a new bar, Cable, just down the parade of shops which looks pretty decent although not sure it does food.

Lobster pot is great.

Specially with the background sound of seagulls they play.

( I'm not imaging I heard that once am I ? )

Then there's Roberto's up near Vauxhall (mi6 are prone to leaving breif cases there)& on the road that comes down from the war museum, nearly opposite the law courts on the right, there's an old school Italian place. All black shiny bench seating & a slight mafioso wiff, but bloomin good spaghetti & veal escalope.

the Bonnington cafe at vauxhall is fantastic, its a veggie/vegan co-op with different chefs daily and lovely food even if you are an ardent meat lover. combined with delicious, reasonably priced menus its also a BYO so makes for an inexpensive eve. very relaxing and laidback place too.
