Take a stroll along Uxbridge Road

And you can eat your way around the globe.

 

Start the day with breakfast - fill up on a full English, or the colourful veggie version.

What about Turkish Eggs, or go continental with a croissant or ham and cheese?

And to wash it down choose from a range of teas or orange juice - freshly squeezed!

 

Need a pick me up mid-morning?  Have a shot of Italian espresso, a latte or cappuccino, the choice is endless …

Try a piece of flapjack, a Portuguese Tart or a toasted teacake,

An American muffin, donut or a slice of cheesecake.

 

Then take lunch. Are you ready to order? Grab a slice of pizza, Mediterranean Falafel 

or grilled meat with a Greek salad, Spanish Tapas or Chinese Dim Sum

My mouth is watering - yum yum!

 

Still feeling peckish? Pick up some scones, clotted cream and jam,

Sweet pastries, a slice of carrot cake or honeyed Baklava.

And to drink - sample a tropical fruit juice made from mango, passion fruit and guava.

 

On to evening meal, how about Pie, Mash and Liquor? 

Enjoy Piri Piri chicken and chips, a Biryani or a Thai Red Curry.

Don’t want to eat out – don’t worry!

Pick up a takeaway of curried goat, rice and peas or buy something tasty

Like plantain - slice and fry to enjoy with your Jolloff rice or Eba and Egusi.

 

Room for Dessert? Well perhaps just some fruit or a scoop of ice cream

Then finish up at the pub for two pints of lager and a packet of crisps!

 

Enjoy a stroll along Uxbridge Road

And eat your way around the globe.
