Great Run Newham Run 2017

This year I decided to run alongside my boyfriend and it was pretty tough because his technique is completely different from my own and to adapt to someone else's style is challenging. Nevertheless, I made it to the finishing line and also raised some money for my chosen charity, Cancer Research. There was so much support again from my friends which is always nice to have. So grateful for them.

Dar Marrakesh

Location: St. Johns Wood
Meal: Dar Falafel Wrap served with chips.

Price: Roughly £8.90

I suppose firstly it was not a good idea to be giving up meat and coming to a place like Dar Marrakesh. However, there were some choice on the menu. I chose the wrap but it wasn't that great, it was just average for me. We had a few cocktails and starters (Halloumi) which was good making the overall experience a rating of...

An overall rating 6/10.

Eat Toyoko

Location: Bloomsbury, Red Lion Street
Meal: Bento Box - tofu, prawn tempura with green tea

Price: Roughly £9

It wasn't my favourite place at all. Although the staff were friendly and the small booths were ideal for a small group of friends to go to, I didn't like the bento box. I think perhaps the sushi would have got a higher rating for this place, but for the box it has to be rated a disappointing...

An overall rating 5/10.

Creams

Location: Stepney
Meal: Choc Royale - choc‘n’hazelnut gelato, soft vanilla ice cream, Ferrero Rocher chocolates, milk chocolate shavings and milk chocolate sauce.

Price: Roughly £9.95

This was a fantastic dessert! It wasn't too sweet and it was just what i needed! A must go! Great desserts for a sweet tooth satisfaction. 

An overall rating 9/10.

Hungry Donkey

Location: Spitalfiends 
Meal: Plate me up - chicken - served with hand cut chips, cherry tomatoes and tzatziki. 

Price: Roughly £13.50

This little hidden restaurant was not busy on a Sunday evening. The staff were friendly and food was prompt, there was a good space for friends and talking. A lovely restaurant and the food was really good! It did leave you wanting more! Definitely would recommend this place and would visit again to try the other dishes on the menu!

An overall rating 9/10.
