Review: La Petite Poissonnerie Primrose Hill Fishmongers


Any chef worth his weight knows that to make good food you need good products. Unfortunately, the old 'Butcher, Baker, Candlestick maker' days of the British high street have long gone, making those good products all the harder to find, but luckily in Camden you don't have to venture to far to find what you need.

At least not where fish is concerned.

Review: The Battersea Pie Station in Camden Market


Few things are better on a cold and blustering day than some good old British comfort food. With that in mind, us Greedy Cochons wrapped ourselves up in our scarves and gloves and headed to Camden Market.

In the area next to Proud galleries, nestled between the Mexican burrito stands and the Moroccan lamp stalls stands the Battersea Pie Station.

This stall is a shoot off of the larger, more central shop in Covent Garden and as such has a slightly smaller menu, but all the classics you could want to warm your cockles.

I had the Chicken and Mushroom pie with mash and gravy and Mr. Greedy Cochon plumped for the steak and ale with mash and pie liquor, yum!

You can see the full menu over on their website here.
