Eating London Food Tours

For Twilight SoHo Food Tour:
Delicious-​Food was awesome! I won’t spoil everything and tell you all the delicious tasty treats you get to try, but they are good… and maybe slightly unexpected. But that’s all in the fun!
Area-​SoHo is special with it’s crazy up-​and-​down history. You’ll learn about the famous people, the low times, the migrations and more. It’s filled with London quirks, and I love quirky things!
Drinks-​Yep, you even get some well-​made drinks along the way. Again, some you might expect, and others you definitely won’t. All are a perfect pairing.
Tour guide-​We had Hannah and you could tell how much she loved London and loved talking about it. And if you do take the tour, tell her you heard about it from the girl who took a picture with the cops… she’ll get a good laugh!
I can’t wait to one day take the East End Food Tour! I’ll be back London!

My husband and I took the East End Food Tour and we enjoyed it a lot. The tour guides were insightful and made the tour really fun. It was nice to be able to not only try so many foods but to get a little history of the neighborhood. I’m glad we chose to take this tour because it is in an area we probably wouldn’t have really ventured to on our own. All the food stops were great and had their own story. I would highly recommend this tour as a way to explore London. Also you will leave full so the tour is a great value. Thanks for a great time Ollie and Harry.

Our guide, Hannah, was fantastic. Her energy was contagious and led to the whole group really chatting and having a great time. But of course the main event — the food –was most important and that did not disappoint. We stopped at eight places and almost all of them were near-​perfect. I especially liked the stop with bread pudding and the bacon sandwich, though the bagel with corned beef was also delicious. I highly recommend!

We met our wonderful tour guide, Ollie, at the Old Spitalfield’s Market to embark on a four-​hour tour around one of London’s most fascinating neighborhoods. After a brief orientation to the tour and introductions of our group of 6, we were off to eat. And eat is what we did!
It was a whirlwind food tour through the eclectic East End neighborhood with numerous culinary highlights which rivaled the rich, cultural history of the area.
The 8 (yes, eight!) stops included:
St John Bread and Wine — bacon sandwich on homemade bread that was smeared with butter and served with tomato ketchup
The English Restaurant — bread and butter pudding made with brioche and a cardamom and brandy glaze
House of Androuet — three seasonal cheddar and blue cheeses
Poppie’s Fish & Chips — award-​winning fish and chips (of course) and mushy peas
Pride of Spitalfield — real ale and real cider in this old pub where Lenny (the cat) resides
Aladin curry house — three curries: vegetable kurma, lamb pathia and chicken madras in a chili lime sauce, and naan on Brick Lane
Beigel Bagel — corned beef with mustard on a bagel with pickles
Pizza East — salted caramel tart made with chocolate ganache and topped with sweetened crème fraîche and served with tea
I have done a lot of food tours and this one was definitely one of my favorites. Not only was I with good friends and great company, our tour guide was easily the best one I’ve had on a food tour. Ollie was personable, hilarious, very knowledgeable, and very approachable for questions. Despite having done that route probably a ton of times, he seemed genuinely excited to be leading us around that neighborhood.
This tour was expensive (65 pounds) but I thought that the value was excellent. The variety of food and the amount of food was great. But what sets this tour apart from some of the other tours that I’ve been on was the amount of information that Ollie provided about the area and the history of the neighborhood.
This tour is highly recommended.

A full day of eating, talking and walking the East End. We learned much more than I expected about the history of this unique place and sampled beautiful dishes thsat define the area.
Each place has been carefully selected to highlight different features of English, and particularly the East End’s, cuisine and notable restaurants. Our walking «meal» bouncing from beautifully salty bacon buttys to the dual UK national dishes of curry and fish and chips. Like Gilligan’s Island, we embarked on a 4 hour tour that would change our lives.
I would be so remiss if I didn’t mention the loads of history that Nicole effortlessly packed into every moment we weren’t stuffing our faces. Like a good teacher, she didn’t even let on that were learning until we left the tour with heads brimming with facts.
If you can afford a fancy meal in London, scratch that and take the tour! You get a variety of excellent places and dishes, comprehensive oral history and meet wonderful people.

This was awesome. Nicole was a great guide, very engaging and informative tour. Group size is small which was also nice. All of the food we got was AMAZING! I highly highly recommend. I’m going to start doing food tours everywhere I go!

This is a fabulous way to tour the regentrification of the East side of London as well as some amazing places to eat.
The founder of the tour Nicole is amazing as a tour guide: in her enthusiasm, knowledge and energy.
Here are the places you will sample amazing foods at:
St. John Bread and Wine (Fergus Henderson’s restaurant… aka Bourdains friend). We tried the world famous bacon sandwich… amazing
The English Restaurant: amazing old English setting. We had their amazing Banana bread pudding.
Androuet. World famous cheese mongers. Tried three great cheeses.
Poppies. World rated amazing fish and chips… ahd poppie was their as well. Just amazing fish.
Pride of Spitalfields. Great pub to try cider and ale.
Aladin. Along bricklane where many many bangladesh restaurants are (think Indian cuisine). The curries here were amazing from mild to spicy the flaovrs were intricate and comples… and just good.
Beigel Bake. Rated as the best Bagel in all of the Uk… I could not argue. We had the bagel with salted beef (corned beef)…un friggin believable.
Our finally stop was Pizza east… a repurposed space so cool. Very industrial but amazing vibe. We did not come for pizza but the salted caramel and tea… what a way to cap the tour off.
I highly recommend this tour as it takes you to places most tourist will not get to. The history and the food were amazing
