Up the lift to the 30th floor, bottle of diet coke (£3.50) and then a scout around taking photos from all angles with the phone.
The east side was a little challenging because I had to go into the restaurant area - cue garcon saying "Can I help you sir", in a voice meaning "feck off you geeky chav".

Never mind. No more time. A Chicken and sweetcorn bap from a newsagents: £1.49
Here's a couple of the photos, to exercise your scroll bars..
West over the City + the west end:

Found a review (on Qype) of one of their places that was written in January this year, so have a hunt
There was one just around the corner.
So yesterday lunch I had the beef "roast" takeaway for £5.75. Beef, roast spuds, veg, yorkshire pudding, and a dollop of horseradish sauce on top.
Horseradish sauce for horse. Who'd have thought it..Comment
