Soho restaurants open and close all the time, but Stockpot somehow remains. Known for its wallet-friendly, filling food, the restaurant attracts a diverse clientele. From Japanese tourists to groups of elderly ladies enjoying a pre-theatre meal and local workers reading the papers while tucking into a hearty lunch, Stockpot unites them all. The nostalgia-packed menu is served in tacky, old-school surroundings – a wooden interior with varnished tables and sticky plastic menus adds to the experience – it all seems stuck in the 1960s, but charmingly so. Choose from the likes of fried liver with mash, beef stroganoff and banana split. Food lacks pretensions: a generous slab of creamy fish pie came served with a side of two veg – bland and unsalted, but who’s complaining when prices hover around the £6 mark? Add friendly and speedy service to the mix, and you see why Stockpot remains a Soho institution. The two other Stockpot restaurants in the West End have no connection to this one.
