Christopher J.’s latest review

The Table (83 Southwark Street, London, SE1 0HX)

Fairtrade, organic, locally sourced, environmentally friendly, sustainable, carbon neutral, biodegradable & recyclable. The Table Café at Southwark promises all of these things.

I found the summary of greenie credentials on the biodegradable menu at this ‘award winning restaurant’ about as captivating as the food. It was bland, uninteresting and looked like it had been prepared by a student.

Take your carbon footprint elsewhere.
