Canteen Spitalfields (2 Crispin Place, London, London, E1 6DW)

Whilst the idea of having fresh fish and good meat on the menu is fantastic and much appreciated, for those of us who like a light lunch, and preferably non-fattening too, there is not much to choose from. I asked for a roast chicken salad with walnuts and tarragon which was £9.50. Apart from the fact that you had to search for the chicken amongst masses of salad leaves and then, when you found it, it was only a couple of little strips of meat, nothing roast or tarragon flavoured about it, it was covered in a white sauce, the flavour of which I was unable to distinguish, but it looked very fattening. Some of my friends had chicken and chips and fish and chips and the portions of chicken (as well as the fish) were huge. So, if someone could explain to me that in a salad which is advertised as roast chicken with walnuts and tarragon, you get no chicken (or at least just a couple of small strips of meat without flavour) and you pay a lot of money for that and if you order chicken and chips your get a double-size portion. The balance is just not there. Not that I am a great eater anyway but looking at what was before my eyes I felt I needed to give my review. Also, as an avid cook myself, my meal was without flavour and certainly did not taste of tarragon at all or roast chicken. The only thing authentic about it were the walnuts.
