92-93 Chapel Market, London. N1 9EX.,  20th December 2015

We had an early curry here, as The Damned were playing just around the corner. A few of us met up around before to watch the footie in The Boston Arms, Tufnell Park and then jumped on a bus to Angel, Islington. We started collecting people together in a Wetherspoons, there was a fair few of us this time (12 in all) because of the gig so close, and headed off around the corner to the eat-all-you-can buffet.

The decor inside is … unique … every wall covered in pro-Vegetarianism propoganda (not a bad thing, it’s mostly accurate) and huge posters. The staff were minimal, just let us do our own thing and left us alone.

It’s a BYOB so no overpriced drinks or beers, and pretty laid back. Standard tables set out diner style and nothing fancy at all.

During the afternoon we had a couple of surprising visitors; Charlie Harper (UK Subs) popped in and took a table with a few people, and Captain Sensible (The Damned) dropped by for a take-away. He looked a bit surprised to be recognised by so many people 🙂

As it was a buffet, there wasn’t the huge array of choices you normally get on a menu – a couple of types of bread, a couple of types of rice. There were 6 or 8 containers of warmed food ranging from watery soup consistency through to what appears to be mashed potato or similar. No real labels or identification of what the contents were that I could see. The quality of the food was OK, it’s mild to mid spicy, but there’s plenty of it.

At £6.50 per person it’s not bad, and decent value. Overall people were happy and gave it around a 7 out of 10.
