The Sporting Page, SW10

I love living where we do in Battersea. There is great food shopping and eating out, and I can run it all off in either Battersea Park or on Clapham Common. But there isn't anywhere great to watch sport, which is why we found ourselves in the Sporting Page last week for the Liverpool v Chelsea Champions League game. This is an old haunt from when R lived around the corner, although it has had a facelift since then.

I was glad I had booked a table, as it was heaving. We squeezed into our allotted space, and settled down to watch the match. I'm sure my view of the food is vastly improved by the result of the match though! We both had burger, R a chicken burger and mine a medium rare hamburger with cheese. It was cooked spot on, the chips were a perfect size and crispy-ness, and it all arrived piping hot - no mean feat with the pub that rammed. This was perfect sport watching food, not trying to do too much, but getting what it did spot on.
