An institution of gigantic reputation locally, Little Bay is the restaurant of choice for folk on a budget who want to eat good solid food. It’s a haven for council office employees wanting to kick off the weekend with their colleagues and the flotsam and jetsam of NW6. The prices seem to come from another age. You will need to get here early as it gets very very busy at lunch and evening sittings. 

The food as I said before, is not spectacular, that accolade is best offered to the interior, a crazy Tim Burtonesque set where small hidden tables are found up winding stairs. The staff are friendly and there is a sense that this is a family run enterprise not a slick money making outfit, though make money this place does by the bucket load.

Please visit, at lunch time you can eat a meal for 5 quid, yes 5 English pounds! When you go, order the Fresh Egg Tagliatelle with Smoked Chicken, and Mange Tout, this would be a bargain at twice the price

I can't see this happening. This is a very shrewd move from Mark Thompson, publish a report that highlights cuts in the corporation that includes a small but highly popular station, this then whips up massive public interest and listening figures go through the roof. Next comes the large internet campaign and the BBC Governors and the next gevernment are forced to back down in the mist of public pressure.

A station that can play the Gorillaz, The Tom Tom Club and Goldheart Assembly back to back, is to precious to loose.

I visited Al Faisals last December for an all expenses paid, nosh up. It’s fair to say that the curry houses on Ladypool Road have been moving up market for a few years now and Al Faisals is proof positive that the days of the flock wall paper are over. Al Faisals is all shinny chrome, large video screens and seems to have an expense of tables and chairs for as long as the eye can see.

The food was better then average. Al Faisals does what must restaurants in the balti mile do well, which is cook up a mean balti. My chicken balti, whilst not be the most adventurous dish, was definitely good consisting of large hunks of tomato and mushrooms swimming in a sea of brown spicy loveliness.

The waiters were prompt and friendly and the service here was first-rate. I threw half of my meal on the floor in a moment of butter fingered madness. Our waiter mopped it up with a smile in double quick time and offered me the same dish again with some bhajis into the bargain at no extra cost.

Not a place for a romantic meal, but ideal for a groups and parties, I like it.
