Anoo's review of Canteen

If only there were more chains serving seasonal British food as good as this. It should be in every guidebook to London as an antidote to the Scotch Steakhouses and dodgy pubs of the West End. Last time I went I had seasonal summer vegetables and home-made salad cream and my boyfriend had a lovely fresh, herby chicken and tarragon salad. We drank a delicious Cornish wheat beer. The pies are delicious with perfect, crispy crusts and fat, tasty chips or creamy mash. My highlight though is always the tangy blackcurrant jelly with crumbly buttery shortbread and ice cream. Yum. Comfort food that's as good as grandma made, and very good service.
