Where can I get a good lasagne & chips in Brixton this dinnertime?

[porno thieving gypsy]

you don't need to but my god its nice if a little unhealthy

Perfect grub for this kind of weather.

 

[hmmph]

I noticed San Marino does Lasagna...

 

[Onket]

chips no, ffs. Lasagne is all cheese, carbs etc., you don't need to pile chips on there as well you fat bastard

Groundbreaking stuff there, well done.

i think you should pile on the chips.

Ok, for those who seem to have missed it-

The slice of lasagne could have been bigger, but as a whole the plate of chips, lasagne & salad was enough to fill me up.​

 

[London_Calling]

mmm, I quite fancy that today. Possibly with a big mug of builders tea.

Welcome to Autumn.

To continue the groundbreaking nature of this thread, I had a good (though naturally overpriced) lasagna & chips at London Zoo on Wednesday.

Strongly disapprove of salad though. Baked beans FTW.

 

[London_Calling]

Yes, salad seems unnecessarily healthy. Prob better to inc. a doorstop of crusty buttered bread.

This is not Brixton-related but it is lasagne & chips related. Inspired by this thread and because I do like a nice lasagne & chips and I was hungry, I went for the first time to the Pronto Grill Bar on the corner of Great Peter Street and Strutton Ground in Victoria. The salad looked as if it had been made several days previously. One taste told me that this was very likely. Horrid. The lasagne looked good and it was generous. The overriding flavour was of vinegar. Horrid. The chips were a bit pallid but were OK. The mug of tea was very good though. Overall, a rip-off at £6.15 in total and a bitter disappointment.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Oh, and the service was surly.

 

[Onket]

Also not Brixton related, but the other day I had a lasagne & chips (and peas) at that place inbetween the Barclays and the Post Office, opposite Kennington Park.

I do not recommend it. It was one of those £1 microwave lasagnes, with decent enough chips (to be fair to them) and hard peas. How can you get frozen peas wrong, I ask you?!

From where?

i am surprised you got anything after seeing the salad.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

It was lunchtime and I don't do breakfast so I was ravenous. I also have limited time. I didn't see anything until it was plonked on the table on front of me. With a scowl.

 

[Biddlybee]

I had lasagne at Brockwell Hall today.... flavour was nice enough, but needed a magnifying glass to find the meat . This was my first lasagne of the year

 

[fractionMan]

Mince is usually pretty small biddly. Cos it's been minced.

 

[Chilavert]

My girlfriend and I shared a Waitrose (bloody middle classes changing Brixton for the worse, etc.) lasange last night and it was very good.

The downside was that we had it with roasted vegetables when chips obviously would've been better.

there wasn't much mince... not like the pic in the OP or how I make my lasagne

 

[Onket]

Anyone know if The Phoenix does lasagne?

 

[Roly]

Phoenix doesn't do lasagne but Steve's cafe does a good one, but its up in Herne Hill, on the road that goes away along the side of Brockewell park, next to "Oley's Fish thing"

 

[Roly]

lasagne chips +salad + tea at steve's is under £6

Why didn't anyone tell me about this place?

You lot are useless.

This is my new favourite caff in Brixton, by the way.

 

[Badgers]

What time does Sema's cafe shut?

Edit - 4pm

 

[Onket]

I've only ever been there for dinner, which is never as late as 4pm.

 

[Badgers]

It was good food and great value. To be honest there was SO many chips they were hard to keep on the plate and left a few.

Bacon was unusually excellent for a cheap cafe, not too many beans, perfect eggs, mushrooms and bread/toast. Sausage was not of a high quality but acceptable

Sign on the door said open till 8pm but I called before we went and they said 4pm so unsure.

 

[Onket]

Glad you enjoyed it.

They do serve the classic 'caff sausage of dubious quality' there, but to be honest I'd never want it any other way.

It's not the Captain's table on the QE2.

 

[colacubes]

Tbh I feel that if it's not a dubious quality sausage, it's not a proper caff. Sometimes you just want utter filth

Yep. The right way. Proper cafe tables. Only have the Sun and Star newspapers and happy staff. Food piping hot and to the table in 10 minutes max.
