MrsWishy and I are attending a wedding in London in July and I was after recommendations of anywhere decent to eat in the Holborn area. We get there mid afternoon on Friday so have some time to ourselves on the night before the main event. It's so long so I've even visited London that I don't a clue. We're staying at the Premier Inn (yes I know how to live it up!) so somewhere within walking distance would be great although we have plenty of time to tube it somewhere if needs be.
Any suggestions welcome but us being uncultured and poor Northerners it doesn't need Michelin stars and the associated price tags. Saying that though, I don't mind "a bit fancy" as it's a special occasion. we're also thinking of going for drink in the bar of the Shard afterwords so that neck of the woods would be OK for recommendations too.

Not sure on your budget/tastes (veggie etc) But cheap easy and a bit different- why not try my Old Dutch-close to the tube: http://www.myolddutch.com/Menu/My-Cafe-Menu.aspx.More showy- and bit more expensive 28-50 towards the edge of Holborn: http://www.2850.co.uk/menusBut loads to eat close by for all pockets - many Chinese and BBQ inspired places-to fill up for good value. Pub wise if you want to walk a bit-you have the Ship Tavern. Or the v historic Ye Olde Mitre. BUT - close and if your taking a young lady- enjoy the sheer opulence of the might Princes Louise - you will be drinking American in there- sam adams etc- but well worth it! http://princesslouisepub.co.uk/Enjoy Holborn for me- always a nice place. Regards MM

Thanks I'll have a look with the young lady in question later on. Neither of us are veggie and our usual restaurants of choice round here when we can escape the ankle biters are Indian, Chinese, tapas or the occasional fancy gastro pub type thingy.
2850 that you've mentioned would be within budget.

You've got the whole of Covent Garden within 5 mins walk so I'd be tempted to just have a wander around and see what takes your fancy at the time. You'll be spoilt for choice. Or if you want to make it more memorable then maybe something out of your comfortzone and a bit more unusual - Peruvian fitzrovia one: https://www.limalondongroup.com/fitzrovia/aboutcovent garden one: https://www.limalondongroup.com/floral(little known fact - Peru was voted worlds top cuisine last year)

Some good food for thought ( ) there thanks. No options are off the table but current thoughts are to go cheap and cheerful as we'll be spending a small fortune otherwise over the weekend. This is of course subject to substantial change in direction at whim over the next couple of months before the main event. Initial plan is looking like go to Shard mid afternoon and come back via Ye Olde Mitre then walk to Princess Louise/My Old Dutch/somewhere in Covent Garden for food/a few cheeky halves. The main bit of thinking behind this is that we'll be able to have a reccy of the wedding venue en-route and not be too far away from the hotel as we may also meet up with the groom on the night to deliver the last rites say hello.
