Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Went to the Turkish place Anatolia for a Turkish breakfast yesterday. Very nice. Melo do a nice English fry up too. Anyone go to Figo or Palmeira? Friends Lounge opposite Leyton Technical is new too.Leyton Tech is reopening as the Enginner. Had a lovely steak last season at Kapture. Anyone else eat elsewhere?

Nigel Travis will do his nut if he sees this post!

You can do both tbh. Just vary it up.

KFC

Masala 466 High Road - tip top curry. BYO.

The Lion and Key is excellent
Yesterday it was designated as the away fans pub but they all behaved themselves

Coach and Horses

Smoke & Pepper.

Nearly £5 for a kit Kat and a very ordinary sausage roll in the ground yesterday, and the beer (£5.70) was flat and grim. Avoid spending money in the ground wherever possible. With such good options around now locally, why wouldn’t you?

Ground offerings are awful. I’d get it if it was a budget option

Used to patronise the West Stand until chuck out time - Lion & Key a very suitable alternative.

Figo’s is solid without being spectacular. But pricey.

The haggis toasted sandwich at Deeney’s is excellent. Worth a go.

I had a superb Roast Chicken at the Coach today. First class.

The Technical reopening will change the landscape. Same mob as the Boleyn and Holly Tree and the food is quality.

Another vote for the haggis toasted sandwich at Deeney’s. It's absolute filth, but in a good way.

As a loyal supporter, I stop eating Thursday lunchtime, only to break my fast at 2:15pm with one of every item from the fabulous British Events Catering outlets inside the Gaughan Group Stadium.

The best place for a fry up in the area is The Sizzling Sausage on Hainault Road. Figo is overpriced. Anatolia is pretty good. I don't know if they still do the Sri Lankan food in The Coach, but that's lovely. I see plenty of posts on the Footy Scran Twitter feed that blow the offerings at the club out of the water. They need to raise their game.

The vegan haggis toastie is belting too.

Not near the ground of course but Cafe Brunch in Wanstead do excellent breakfasts. Really nice staff to boot.

5 Lads for me - "official" choice of the 1st team squad!

Figo's is ok; Kapture is decent too. One of these days I will try 2+2 in the ground.

Kapture sounds like a bar in Faliraki circa 2003

They do a lovely steak

Further up the High Road towards Midland Road is a Greek gaff called Bread & Oregano that is worth trying if you're up that way. They have a great breakfast menu, but also some nice lunch options too.

Ok for a beer, but has been closed a few times for the state of the kitchen I believe. Wouldn't eat there personally.

Oh dear, didn’t know that. I have had a few decent lunches in there .

These are both pretty decent, well done NT

Certainly an upgrade on what we currently have, very pleased

When the club is sold, upgrading the catering options might be Travis’ enduring legacy to this club
