The Hoxton Grille: Cheap London Hotel Has Surprisingly Good Food

Where: 81 Great Eastern Street, London, United Kingdom, EC2A 3HU

From the hotel that brought you rooms for one pound a night comes not only cheap but decent London rooms but also a tasty restaurant.

Food blogger Londonelicious gives The Hoxton Grille at the Hoxton Hotel a big thumbg=s up (and although she doesn't reveal how much she paid, it was probably more than one pound). But you don't usually get something for nothing, and this gal loved the starter, for a start:

I had the melon and prosciutto starter and it was perfect. They had drizzled something on it that made it extra special. I wish I knew what it was.

Any guesses? She didn't think to ask the staff, probably because she wouldn't have known whose attention to grab:

Our server was really friendly and nice and gave us some great recs on the menu and the wine list. But then he disappeared, never to be seen again. That being said, the woman who took his place was quite charming and helpful and friendly too. In between though, the friendly guy forgot our olives, and our wine sat on the bar forever before anyone brought it to us.

Despite the worse-than-average service (or server continuity, at least), Londonelicious raves about this place and especially the food. Worth checking out on your next visit to London, especially if you can snag a one pound room.
