Griegs Grill is your own Oxford College dining hall writ small in London. This means wood panelling, appalling food, and american tourists. The tomato soup, in radiocative red, tasted like the chef had pissed in a packet of tomato powder from 1971. The salad starter was some leaves from a plastic bag with some bought dressing on it. The bread was hovis. Then came steak and chips which were actually good, although the steak tasted a bit petrolly, it was properly rare and tender, and the chips moreish. Back on form for pudding, warmed up from frozen apple crumble with fake custard in house paint yellow. The Bordeaux was complemented by faulty towers style waitresses and waiter. Look I am not complaining, it was all thoroughly enjoyable, and the Times lets you eat steak frites for a fiver.. my recommendation is to get two portions and forget the other courses. Vive la oxbridge.
