Nearly ten years on from Black Dog Publishing's best-selling Classic Cafes and hot on the heels of one of our current best-sellers, Tea & Cake London, this new title, along
with Meat London: An Insider's Guide, continues our celebration of London's unique culinary culture. Taking a detailed look at the city's classic cafes and fish and chip shops from the
perspectives of the food and drink served to the d矇cor and style informing these particularly British establishments, the book touches on the history of both classic cafes and fish and chip
shops, as well as providing an up-to-date overview of London's best and most notable institutions and newcomers.
Each classic cafe and fish and chip shop is evocatively illustrated with especially commissioned photography and selected documentation of the menus, signage and other ephemera specific to
these cherished bastions of British popular culture. Such favorites as the full English breakfast, bangers and mash to pollock and chips, mushy peas, whitebait and the pickled gherkin are
celebrated.
With some 50 establishments covered A Guide to London's Classic Cafes and Fish and Chip Shops is an essential reference for anyone interested in the capital's more understated foodie
culture.
