By Steph Dye (follow Steph on Twitter: @HelloIAmSteph)
We all feel it sometimes: eating in London can sometimes leave you feeling empty. However, whether it’s a cheated feeling in the stomach or the pockets, it never feels good. Luckily for you, we have put together a great list of best places to either eat or drink an unlimited amount for a set – yet reasonable – fee. Whilst there are always good offers for eating in the city, they don’t get better than this. So why no top off a great day out by eating your fill at one of these great venues.
As stated above, the all you can eat and drink have been chosen for their affordability. However, some of them are obviously more expensive than others so check out the ‘£’ for further details. £ = Serious bargain | ££ = mid-range | £££ = perhaps more of a special treat!
