Say cheese at Canteen

Looking for somewhere sophisticated but child friendly for a family lunch? Look no further. Multi award-winning Canteen restaurants are about to launch their fourth branch in Canary Wharf (so go and wrestle banking daddy or mummy from their desk to do lunch). They celebrate all that’s best in British food, so expect handcut chips, homemade Scotch eggs and the most scrumptious pies in the business. Most of the dishes from the all-day menu can be halved for smaller appetites, and during British Cheese Week (from 26 September 2009) there’s Welsh rarebit and a pint of ale (or something more suitable for the juniors) for £5. Credit crunch meets cheese, and Neal’s Yard Mongomery cheddar at that.
