You haven't lived till you've been taken up the heron tower

Good call. So that's where I went today.

I said to the woman next to the lift at the ground floor that I just wanted a quick drink, and she let me in.
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".

Which reminded me that I hadn't actually achieved the purpose of my trip - to have lunch.
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..

Sweetings on Queen Vic street was always good for extended lunches & reassuringly expensive should your agent be paying

I recall having an oyster breakfast there on the morning of the "Big Bang" (no not the IRA)

They've shut down a lot of them. There used to be one on Cornhill but that is now a place called The Wurst Club and highly recommended by a German friend.

I also forgot to mention the counting House on Cornhill for excellent pies ( try the pie tasting plate) and also Simpsons Tavern off Cornhill if you want history and good food

Congratulations on your new post.

Well thank you.
But I've already made over 1600 of them on this site so far, so I kind of know what I'm doing by now..

It's "Fuzzy's": they did go into administration several years ago, but appear to be trading again at several of their previous sites, and their website - which had disappeared, naturally - has been back for a while: Fuzzys Grub - Home

Found a review (on Qype) of one of their places that was written in January this year, so have a hunt

Thanks too.
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..

When I was at Capital Radio a few years ago, permies used to stop as they passed my desk and gaze in awe upon my Fuzzy's roast dinner sandwich.
