Answer 1

If you are in cnetral London, there's lots of good and reasonable Chinese restaurants around Lisle St and Gerrard Street (Chinatown)

Answer 2

McDonalds

Answer 3

Hard Rock Cafe at Hyde Park Corner would be about £13 - £15 per head (main course and drink)

Ask in Victoria would be a little cheaper at about £10

Wagamama in Leicester Square or on the South Bank would be about the same

Also in Leicester Square is a Wetherspoons pub - very reasonable prices.

There are also the usual MacDonalds, Pizza Hut etc

Answer 4

nandos is a nice place which also has cheap meals good if you like chicken!

planet hollywood is quite famous and willimpress her

the meals starts from about 8 and can go up to around 15 the whole meal and a couple of drinks for the two of you would come to 30-35 and the foods great!

failing that find a harvester worth the money and is cheap!

Answer 7

Nando's you can get a great meal there for not a lot of money.  Enjoy yourselves.

Andrew Edmonds is really nice (modern european food) and romantic. 3 courses with a couple of glasses of wine should set you back about £30 pp.

Answer 9

Check lastminute.com - they have some good places at really good rates.

Answer 10

Try Ask or Zizi if you like pasta/pizza.

Answer 11

Browns is ace! you will love it

Answer 12

TRY a "pie mash & liquor" place.

Answer 13

then you should aim for snacking places instead of restaurants. like mc'donald or nandos. but let me tell you, the cheapest and best hotels are found in greater london areas (far from central london), preferably wembley, where there are loads of nice indian and chinese restaurants.

Answer 14

MC Donald's

Answer 15

Wagamama

Answer 16

busaba eathai is great, the food's thai fusion (pacific).

it's not private but it's brilliant - wardour street.

you can have meal for two and drinks for twenty five squids - have a look online, top table is also great for finding places.

don't go to Macdonalds - she'll thump you

Answer 17

a pub called the barley mow near grosvenor square can recomend the roast beef dinner

Answer 18

Time out has a restaurant guide, and they put a green star next to all the cheap restaurants. It's good cos you can go for the kind of stuff you fancy and choose what you want yourself. You don't want a nandos or macdonalds when you are on a weekend break! :)

here is all their cheap recommendations:

Answer 19

Burger King, KFC, McDonald and off course pizza hut.  The meal will only come to about 5 bucks

Answer 20

Try the curry places around Drummond Street.
