Vasco & Piero's Pavilion Restaurant
Price: Moderate•Italian•4.7(1,595)Vasco and Piero opened the restaurant in 1971. Vasco and Piero created the restaurant out of a passion for good, uncomplicated Italian food. The making of fresh pasta on the premises has always been a priority. From the outset, the menu changed twice a day, a tradition which still continues.
Vasco was born in Umbria and as a result of this many foods are sourced direct from farmers in this region. Particular favourites are truffles, wild mushrooms, seasoned cheeses and cured meats such as lombetto and capocollo.
We only use the best quality extra virgin olive oil mainly from Umbria, Central Italy.
Many of our hams & salames such as Lombetto (a cured loin of pork) are imported from local Umbrian farms.
When in season, we import black & white truffles from hunters around the hills of Umbria.
Our balsamic vinegar is from Modena. We use Maldon sea salt with pure flaky crystals.Carnaby Fish and Chips Bar
Price: Moderate•English•4.7(16)Revisit the 1960’s when Carnaby Street was the headquarters of world fashion and fish and chips was the nation’s favourite meal.
The world around us may have changed, but sometimes the old ways are the best. Our menu is authentic and unpretentious, but everything we do is produced using the finest ingredients prepared with the same values we’ve held for over 50 years.
Dine amongst our collection of vintage photographs from the era when stars including Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix mixed with upstart fashionistas like Mary Quant and Twiggy to create the epicentre of London cool right here.
With a full bar including seasonal specials and a classic soundtrack you won’t hear anywhere else, we’re sure you’ll find us the perfect venue for a date, family get together, or a sneaky working lunch on our outdoor terrace.

Price: Moderate•British•4.7(825)We love mashed potato - it's the food equivalent of a great big hug. Our mash is made with only the very best Maris Piper potatoes - and it's made fresh. Not that day, not that hour, but right before you tuck in. That way it still has the creamy fluffy texture we've whipped into it.
Add a piping hot pie, free range sausages or vegetarian option.. pour on your choice of fresh gravy.. and you'r done. Feel all warm and friendly.
