New Featured Article - Villagers Sausages, BR3 1AG

Untitled

Happy Monday, RGLers!

This week's featured article is for Villagers Sausages in Beckenham. This butchers specialises in sausages, as you might have guessed from the name. There are plenty of varieties on offer for sausage-lovers - including duck! I don't think I've ever seen a duck sausage before, except for a brief glimpse on one of those specialist Freeview channels. They'll also sharpen your knives for a reasonable rate, if you're worried your cutlery might not be up to handling your mighty sausage.

There's a new article for Blue Turtle Oasis, a coffee shop in Loughborough Junction that's bigger on the inside. Reports that Peter Capaldi has been fiddling with the espresso machine inside have been completely made up by me just now.

Finally, the excellent Viajante restaurant in Bethnal Green is closing at the end of this month, as head chef Nuno Mendes is opening up a new place in Marylebone (which apparently will be very different menu-wise and atmosphere-wise).

New featured article — Kenya Coffee House, Romford, RM1

Kenya Coffee House, Romford, London RM1

Featured this week is Kenya Coffee House, RM1 1ED. Your intrepid RGL friends have ventured to furthest Romford for Kenyan food and report back that it is good. You may go for the Christian soft rock, but stay for the excellent creamed spinach with your tilapia. They also do coffee.

New articles are: Villagers Sausages, providing sausages to the villagers of, er, Beckenham, and I seem to recall that I went there once years ago and yes the sausages are very good; and The Horse and Stables, a pub near Lambeth North that used to be called just The Horse, and remains fairly bland.

Reported permanent closures are two Vietnamese places in Deptford (Cafe @Migo in Deptford and West Lake) and Inshoku Japanese restaurant out the back of Waterloo, clearly not trendy enough for modern dining needs.

Finally, we have a reopening in the form of Panda Panda in Deptford, just slightly rebalancing the number of Vietnamese places in the area.
