Porters English Restaurant
A traditional boarding-house British meal in Covent Garden
London had so many pricey traditional restaurants, the Earl of Bradford decided there was room for reasonably priced, well-prepared British cuisine.
He gambled right, and Porters became popular with people looking for the tastes they remember from boarding school and old-fashioned family dinners.
The meat pies and puddings are particularly good; try the unusually flavored lamb and apricot pie with mint and Lady Bradford's famous banana and ginger steamed pudding.
