This is fast food with a conscience - natural, nutritious, locally sourced and freshly pre-
pared, from organic porridge to courgette, lemon and feta fritters, to North Indian dhal
with rice or flatbread. Take away, or sit in and soak up a retro vibe with old Formica
tables, battered school benches, enamel plates and junkshop cutlery stacked in golden-syr-
up tins.

Chop Chop
£
CHINESE
Chop Chop is a Chinese restaurant with a difference, in that it serves dishes popular in
China rather than Britain - as its slogan says, 'Can a billion people be wrong?' No sweet-
and-sour pork here, but a range of delicious dumplings filled with pork and coriander,
beef and chilli or lamb and leek, and unusual vegetarian dishes such as aubergine fried
with garlic and Chinese spices.
