- I've eaten some great meal in pubs around the UK. On this trip I decided to search out 3 of London's oldest pubs to try some traditional British food and hopefully dispel the myth that British Food is all bad?
The three spots in order are:
The Seven Stars, Aldwych.
53 Carey St, near Chancery Lane station, WC2A 2JB
The George, Borough
77 Borough High St, near London Bridge station, SE1 1NH
The Mayflower, Rotherhithe
117 Rotherhithe St, Rotherhithe, near Rotherhithe station, SE16 4NF

It's been 8 years since I posted my first video. Now I've just relaunched.
Challenge is to complete what I started with a 6 month series in which I hope to answer these questions.
What makes Nigerian food Nigerian food?
Why have certain techniques been developed?
Are there techniques to make the process of some food preparation easier?
Are there techniques to make the food taste even more awesome?
I'm not a chef so I'm looking to find answers through the process of getting in the kitchen and cooking, as well as travelling and eating in order to compare and contrast foods and cooking techniques from other cultures.
Lastly I'm hoping to learn from all of you guys whether you are expert in Nigerian cuisine or just like eating food.

You present both the urban vibe and the traditional vibe in aesthetically pleasing manner. 💯
What a nice video; thank you! The pie at the George looks so delicious (and I love that little sauce boat.) The roast also looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing this!
Yep - The George and The Mayflower are on my list of Pubs and pub meals on my upcoming visit to London. This is the third time they’ve been recommended to me on TH-cam 🇬🇧 I’m going to make sure I’m there on Sunday, so that I can tuck into a roast 🍽️😋
Good job man! Feels like I visited London.
Although I don't live there anymore it is a great city and definitely worth a visit
How did this video not get 100k views??? This is quality work.
Aw, thanks for the love. Gonna have to keep putting in the grind out pull out some more bangers. Watch this space.
Amazing roast at the Mayflower!!! Great to watch you eat and enjoy mate. Bare love ❤️
Brilliant video. Have subscribed. That steak pie was awesome and the roast was at another level. We live on the west coast of Canada. Missing the roast dinners from Ireland and Britain. Hard to find here. Had one where the Yorkshire pudding looked great, but tasted as though it was made with plaster of Paris which it possibly was. Also noodles were on the plate. Since then we have found a really great roast dinner at The Doghouse, Duncan, Vancouver Island.
First time watching your videos. You seem like a top bloke. Keep going 👍
Thanks for the encouragement. Been hard finding the drive during the pandemic but planning to shoot and release more soon.
Feels like I visited London! Quality content!
People love to knock UK school dinners. But I loved them. Our school dinners came in 4 sittings. If you were in the first sitting food would be just out of the oven but if you were in the 4th sitting... well? But the upside to 4th sitting was second helpings. 😂
One thing I particularly loved that’s underrated while in London was the whitebait
My first hiking trek in the U.K. was the 18-day Wainwright Coast-to-Coast. I started out in Saint Bees, in Cumbria, along the shores of the Irish Sea, straight, kinduv, across to Robin Hood Bay along the North Sea coast, in Yorkshire; the land was absolutely beautiful, but the best part was that I stayed in small inns, B&Bs and pubs, all in little villages. I can't tell you how much I loved it, especially the food! It seemed that every village I stayed in had its own ales and its own sausages; I would've thought that I'd lose some weight, after all I did walk close to 200 miles, but I have the sneaking suspicion that I might have put on more. One word to describe British food, YUM-ATIOUS!
The roast looks fantastic, great overview fellah...
Thanks Alan. Appreciated
Nice video Deji! Really enjoyed looking at the 3 of London's Oldest Pubs to Find Best Traditional British Food!
Great vid keep them coming.
I haven't been in London for a while, but 2 pubs worth trying are:-
THE GUINEA in Bruton Street. Great food. Bit on the pricey side.
And;
THE DOVE in Chiswick, on the river, by the bridge.
Maybe worth another video.
Cheers
Thanks for the heads up. Will have to check those out next time I can make it back to London
Stumbled on this and loved it. Everything great apart from drinking cider!
Great video mate .. Love a traditional old pub.. Got a great one up here on the Wirral The Wheatsheaf, Raby over 400 years old
Nice that I'm getting some great recommendations for the next time I can get on plan and get back to the UK
@@NigerianKitchen Hopefully won't be to long my friend
Subscribed. Quality editing
One man singlehandedly making these videos! Great job man!
Thanks man. It pretty challenging but once a video is complete and uploaded it does feel great
Nice job. Good Vlog. I subscribed.
great video great job thank you for sharing
Great post, im subscribed 👍
I’m so glad you don’t jump on the bandwagon saying the UK has bad food. People need to visit and try the food for theirselves! London has some of the best and diverse food in the world imo!
I have to say that I'm a fan of some traditional British grub, especially if it's dessert. Rhubarb crumble anyone? Banoffe 🥧, proper old school triffle. We can leave spotted dick off that list.
What's your favourite British dish?
You're making my mouth water! Crumble's good. Wouldn't turn my nose up at it, but, it's Bread and Butter pudding drowning in custard, all the way for me!
It is not British but Irish, give Dublin coddle a try. I was reared on it.
Great review and excellent presentation. Good work. I have subscribed. Lets see some Nigerian food reviews in Scotland please.
I’ve never had any of these foods here in America- interesting French fries too! I really enjoyed this video
I like this video because your honest about the reviews of the food not everyone restaurants going to hit a homerun every time on each menu item
Thanks. I try and be positive when possible but you gotta be honest at the same time.
Parsnips!
Love the vid.
Haha, yeah been living in Asia now for a while so having parsnips ISA rate occurrence 😁 glad you liked the vid
Good work.
Thanks for the good check out. Really appreciated mate.
Do you have a suggestion for where to go for great indian food? Thx!
Great job mate
London really is one of the great cities of the world!
This Food ,he eats Looks like Shit
he's reviewing old pubs-so his focus is on pubs not the food obviously
I hate London, I am Native Brit and I actually lived in London. I like my village, we are truly traditionalists not London!
I live near the Borough and your video is absolutely brilliant !!!!!
Thanks Michael
Love it! Can’t wait to visit London again thanks
Thanks. I can't wait to go back either. Currently stuck in HK
really good video, cheers and good luck !
Thanks
Food looked amazing great video.
Thank you 😋
Excellent video, thanks for sharing
That roast looked fabulous
Honestly, highly recommended
Great video. Thanks.
You are welcome!
Nice vlog. What advise would you give to foreigners like me who might visit one day? Is the city expensive in general?
Yes is the short answer, but there are ways to still enjoying London without going broke. If you're there on holiday get used to taking the bus and walking, especially if you're in the central area. Actually the while city of London is like one giant museum so walk around lots and take it all in. Tons of parks and free museums as well and if you're astute you can get some reasonable lunch deals that will get you some decent food.
Music is over powering your voice..!! Lovely food and the venues..!!
never really cared to visit the UK like I'd name 10 places I'd like to visit first however this vid def made London jump up to top 3 places I want to go to next!!!!!
Glad to hear it man. UK really does have some awesome spots and if course I'm biased being a Londoner, but it really is one of the world cities that must be seen.
London is one of the top city’s in the world for tourists to visit, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. All 4 countries in the UK are amazing places too.
@NigerianKitchen I'm coming over in May what's the best one to go to in the Eastend of London Gov 😊
The "bad food" tag came from the Americans during the 2nd world war while Britain was under rationing laws. It is totally underserved before, or, after the war. I have seen some really dumb comments about food in the UK, especially from Americans, and they have never left their state.
Anyone who has tried American food, knows what bad food is.
@@liamkatt6434 I have noticed from comments, but sometimes you get yanks who just want to dis the UK, and today I found one. The burgers were wrong, the Mexican foods was wrong, the Air was wrong, this guy was a dick. He just had a go at everything British, he was the typical yank who knows fuck all. The Mac in the US is different than the UK Mac, well shock me Sherlock! Our burger has less sugar and fat. Our food is not pumped full of chemicals unlike your beef, lamb, chicken rat, oh sorry, must have mistaken the rat for food.
Here is a wake up call for America, you are no longer the global power you once were, under Biden you are now a third World country so expect your self to attack your self any day soon. Biden is so corrupt no-one in Washington knows what the fuck to do, take the money or run?
Funny because I'm American and adore you limey's food. I've eaten more bangers and mash and fish/chips than I've ever had "baconators"
Now that Sir is a very good video of food i loved and miss now that i live in Australia. Do miss the British pubs just not the same out here
Yeah, someone was telling me it can be hard to get a good pork sausage for example?
Scotch eggs haven’t had one in n us but very tasty
I'm a fan now
Great video but you should have showed the prices!!!
I'll take that into consideration for next time. Thanks for the feedback
Great video!
Thanks Gisle
I was born and raised in the UK, both my parents are Indigenous Brits (meaning natives to the British isles) trust me, we rarely went to the pub for traditional British food growing up, the best British food is made by mum not the pub. You go to the pub for a pint, the food is the after thought because the best British food is always home made. Let the tourists go for a pub grub but it isn't authentic or nice as mum's food. Nothing beats homemade sticky toffee pudding vs the tinned stuff from the pub. I wish I could cook for you so you understand what I mean but I think what I am saying is true for all cuisine around the world.
❤️❤️
Come visit us in the west country Deji. We have some good ones here! X
The homes of Bradford on Avon taught me what a good roast was. Still some of the best I've ever had.
@@NigerianKitchen love you man!
The Sunday roast just looks perfect. How much?
It's about 15 pounds
Well worth it I would of thought more looking at it
The background music at times is distracting.
Tourist trap London pubs will never have anything on a genuine traditional country pub. I've worked in and dined at both and you can feel that centuries old recipe honed by generations in a real pub. Those that can say Shakespear visited dont' have to try as hard food wise as they have limitless new customers and don't have to worry about repeat business. Authentc French and Moroccan cousines would be my next favs but ye olde english food done right feels like home.
I have a question for you when you’re making this video and you ordered the wrong dish why didn’t you then send it back and order the dish you intended
Rabbitt, gravy and pasta
Those scotch eggs looked pretty overcooked and dry.
Wasn't too bad but for sure thicker amount of sausage might have helped
Egg was defo too cooked
Bro don’t stop posting, you got it what it takes to be on Ytube.
Thanks for the encouragement man. Just started editing the next video to come at the weekend.
O my god
How about some prices? Thanks
I would say that none of the prices were outrageous, considering London can normally be expensive. Can't remember specific prices now though. Will remember this point for future episodes
It’s a lot of food!
a new sub :D
hello :D!
Thanks for the sub
It’s craic by the way not crack.
Thank you.
COME TO BRAZIL!
Mate you've made me so hungry! 😂 I've been in Thailand this year, eating bloody rice every day.
Dying for the pie and chips
There are a bunch of them in BKK if that's where you are --London Pie & Witches Pie (sp?) recall as good.
@@mailtorajrao i got so excited then! Thank you for that info! Sadly permanently closed like many places because of closers during covid that are still going on 😔 out of business 😔
@@YouknowwhereHughgo Ah yes... well, you are a bit out of luck then.
@@mailtorajrao yeah 😔 lol
I feel you. I remember when I got to China and was excited about trying a load of new food. Then about 3 months in a was hit with this craving for the familiar. Back then it was trying to find a good British fry up. Fruitless hunt which is what got me start with sausage making and eventually starting a little restaurant. How's your pie making skills?😊
I’m just a Mexican looking at random shit rn
😁 and sometimes you end up stumbling on some good s*#+
"parsnips" they are the best proof that God may exist
Sunday roasts suck.infact every roasts are disgusting.
You've been eating in the wrong places mate. It just isn't possible to not like a good roast
Cider.
On a hot day nothing beats a dry crisp cold cider. Alas the UK doesn't always have many of those.
Get up north pal, the quality of traditional British food is on another level.
You know what, I may well do the next time I'm back. I do think people severely under estimate how good the traditional British cuisine can be. I'd hate to start a controversy here with fellow Southern fairies by you may well be right about northern the food up north. Wonder how much of that is down to the warmth and hospitality of the locals though.
@@NigerianKitchen the food is just all round better, I agree
seems like British and the UK have something in common, we like hardy meat riched foods.
That’s a pudding not a pie
The meat pie?
@@NigerianKitchen suet pudding
It was a pie what you on about lol
did I hear right? rabbit meat?
You did hear correctly but there was actually very little rabbit meat😅
Wrong man on the wrong place. I have visited UK many times. And London as well. I have stumbled over some great food in pubs, and also not so fucking good. And were it was good, it was to fu expensive, and like fancy dining.
Alas London ain't a cheap place, you ain't wrong about that
I'm a real cook fromAustria-Vienna!...and sorry,but the "English Cousine"is horrible !
😄 well at least you're apologetic. You know I get where you're coming from but I do think there are good reasons for the bad rep. I have to say that modern British cuisine is pretty good and classic old British is also very good. mainly is stuff from 1900s, especially war times that is bad
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
I take it you're not a fan :)
Yuk.
Don't knock it until you try it😊
