RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

We are not a lifestyle magazine, we are not a food club, and we don't get paid.
We meet and eat - that's all!

On irregular occasions the group will pick one of the many eating venues from the tip of Wimbledon Hill to the Polka Theatre. It could be a pub, it could be Italian food or that well-known fast food chain - if you can eat there, it is on our list.

Yet, some key rules will apply to set the scene going forward...

1. Sit down meal only; no takeaways!
2. Meals will mostly happen at lunchtime (12.30pm to 2pm)
• Dinner event may be organised from time to time
3. In each session, each person must order a different mains dish from the rest of the group
4. In each session, each person must have either a starter or dessert (or both)
• For budget or stomach capacity reasons, starters and desserts can be shared
5. Each person can choose any drink they want, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic
6. The total bill will be split evenly across the group
7. At the of each session, each person will give a rate from 1 to 5 (where 1 is poor) for the following criteria:
• Quality of Food
• Quality of Service
• Speed of Service
• Ambience
• Hygiene
• Value for Money

BON APPETIT!

INTRODUCTION

Placed in the southwest outskirts of London, Wimbledon is a fine, idyllic location with the scent of the great metropolis only a 15 minutes away by train. Divided between the "Hill" and the "Broadway", the town is a busy hub between Central London and the last SW postcodes before entering Surrey. Settled families, young urbanites, tennis players, the mélange of inhabitants and visitors that come and go every day make it a key place to visit and why not stop for a few beverages and a nice meal.

I have worked and lived around Wimbledon for almost 10 years. I tasted fine ale in the local pubs, visited the good old restaurant chain, tested food in side street joints, and many places opened and closed over the years. I wish some places were still around.


In the spirit of grasping the food spirit of Wimbledon, please join me and a few other "wannabe" food critics in this food expedition through which we hope to shed light on the many places to eat and drink, either in the summer breeze of outdoor grill on Wimbledon Hill or the coziness of hearty pubs along the Broadway.

We do this because it is fun, we do this because we love where live or work, but above all we do this because we love food!
