So I heard another urban boast about a unique place to eat really great, but reasonably priced food. Would it be a hollow boast or not? Well, it's not often one of my tips yields gold but this is one instance and I want to tell everyone about it. The Pitstop Street Kitchen... in NW4 ...specializing in hand carved salt beef sandwiches, homemade burgers and more of the type. Situated off the main road in suburban Hendon is a really funky looking bright red modern food trailer. Think retro meets Iron Man and you get the picture. It is spotlessly clean, surfaces are constantly being sprayed and wiped and wiped again, and staffed by two clearly devoted foodies with experience in the food business. This is how I imagine really good chefs would operate if they couldn't get their own premises. Well, so far so good but the proof is in the eating and the rest is details. There are daily specials and the menu is changed weekly, and some winter warmers are promised soon, but I could only order two items on that day, and I started eating. The homemade burger was definitely that, it would be so easy to cheat and go for a really juicy burger by adding loads of fat but the Pitstop girls are no cheaters and my juicy, flavoursome burger was an innocent creation of good quality meat, seasoning, and not much else. Apparently it helps that the meat is kneaded to leave the grain in several directions but whatever it is really worked for me. My eating partner had the salt beef sandwich, I am no expert on this dish but I could tell from his grin after a few bites that it was good, the last time he had as much fun in his clothes was finishing off the black cod at Scott's fish restaurant in town. Georgina explained the salt beef is brined and braised using a recipe passed down from her grandmother, only using beef brisket from a local butcher which doesn't break down easily during the process and so remains tender and light. Deep fried Oreos is a concept that I refuse to accept blindly, my supermodel wife wouldn't approve, but this isn't an average variation on an overworked theme, they really tasted quite light, nothing like the Mars Bar cousin offered north of the border. I left full and content, next time I will try the BBQ pulled pork on brioche or the roast with apple sauce. There is a loyalty card scheme which gets you a free lunch after ten stars. The Pitstop girls in Hendon can definitely pull their weight against the famous big boys in Mayfair offering luxury burgers and glorified comfort food and it's a lot more convenient and cheaper than slogging up to 'Wolfie's' in town. Boast proudly, Pitstop people.

I had lunch there a few days ago. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member Jade, who immediately checked with us whether we knew how to order and if we had any questions about allergies. My son is severely allergic to nuts and it was very assuring to hear that they take this matter very seriously. Jade personally took our order and checked all ingredients with us. Thank you, branch North Finchley.

Visitamos aquí con mi marido cuando se aloje en el hotel ocultar paseo. Nos visitan Londres por mi cumpleaños, y después de un día completo de turismo sólo queríamos comer en algún lugar cerca, así que decidimos darle una oportunidad. Las críticas no eran geniales, pero con no estar abierto tanto y los malos comentarios no exactamente slating la comida, nos aventuramos. A la llegada era muy tranquilo, pero la gente que estaba cenando allí eran en su mayoría asiáticos, así que tomamos esto como una señal bastante buena. El menú de bebidas es muy limitado, con sólo unos pocos vinos básicos, sólo dos tipos de cerveza que eran de Tigre y un chino. Yo tenía un vino blanco que estaba bien y el marido se tuvo la cerveza china (que se había acabado de Tigre), que nos pareció era cara en 3 libras. Alrededor de un 50 por media botella pinta. Pedimos varios platos del menú principal, incluyendo pato crujiente con tortitas, albóndigas, chow mein y par de platos de carne. Encontramos a ser caliente, fresco y sabroso, nos gustó especialmente la bolas! ! El servicio era rápido y amable. En general, disfrutamos mucho y lo recomiendo, pero me habría gustado tener una más amplia selección de opciones de bebidas.

Fell in love with this place when it was nestled in the equestrian center just off Lullington Garth. As we understood at the time, it was owned and operated by Argentinians. The beef - as you would expect - was incredible. Not just cooked one way, or one cut; there was a variety with a distinct 'this is how we do it back home' feel. There was chicken too, but the cuts of pork and different types of pork sausage is what had us telling our friends about El Vaquero. The sides looked and tasted homemade; the beans were a regional recipe from where the owners were originally from. The (Argentinian) passadors were engaging too which added a real South American feel to the whole experience. Sadly, it all ended when EV shut down. However, much to our delight, there would be a new location; a High Street location. We booked as soon as we could which coincided with my birthday. Upon arrival in Whetstone, we saw a great location, nice building but not quite the same atmosphere as it was back in Woodside Park. The biggest disappointment for me was that there were no sausages (well, not of the pork kind) no pork loin, or any kind of pork for that matter. When I asked, one of the waiters intimated that the new owners did not include pork on the menu (for religious reasons). This wasn't a problem, but there was no indication of this at any stage until we asked when the sausages would be coming. Broadly speaking, it's the same concept as the original El Vaquero, a 'meat fest' only no pork or pork products. EDIT: My friends and I visited the original restaurant in Woodside Park on more than one occasion. We were served pork there: loin, sausages and ribs. Pork was taken off the menu when the new owners took over and moved the brand to Whetstone.

Have used Charcoal Grill consistently over the years and have always found the food to be delicious. However on the last few orders the lamb shish has been tough and tasteless,
