Where to eat heartily

10 April 2012

Thankfully, nouveau cuisine is now old news and no nonsense cooking and generous servings are replacing portion sizes that would barely satisfy the appetite of a sparrow. Charles Campion reveals the restaurants where only hearty grub will do...

Canteen
2 Crispin Place, EC1
The Canteen is a no nonsense place driven by British produce and a good option for those occasions when only hearty grub will do. Great pies, a fine macaroni cheese and gentle prices. £15pp ex-drinks. (0845 686 1122)

Inn the Park
St James's Park, SW1
A very beautiful building is home to this restaurant which helped change the way we view catering in the parks. It serves comforting British food with reliable cooking. Also good for afternoon tea. £30pp ex-drinks. (0871 0757437)

S&M Café
48 Brushfield Street, E1
This is one of a small chain of single-minded restaurants that serves serious portions of sausage and mash. You get to choose your sausages and there is even a choice of mash, plus classic British puds. £8pp ex-drinks. (020 7247 2252)
