edited February 2014 in Commuting chat
I now work in Richmond and I'm starving because I'm doing intermittent fasting. I can eat from mid day so can any if the Richmondites on the forum tell me where I can get a burrito from.

Name your price and in will pay.

  • Coin de Paris, do chicken wraps that are nice.

    Whole Foods do Burritos I think.
  • Nip to hammersmith and go to tortilla for the best burritos in london.

    Indeed. Been there many times. I can also highly recommend Mr Falafal in Shepherd's Bush market for epic wraps. Go on a nice day as the queue is out the door.

  • There used to be a shop opposite Santander in The Quadrant who make a mean spicy chicken wrap. Not sure of the name though, I'm afraid.

    Whole Foods a Pork Burrito - 7/10.

    Still hungry.

    Still nothing beats the excellent but expensive and chainy Benito's Hat in KingsX.

    Can I recommend a falafel wrap instead? Taste of Lebanon, not far from the station is one of the best in London... of course they do shwarma, kofta and all things, but their falafel are seriously good

    There used to be a place that did good falafel wraps down near the bridge, but it's 15 years since I worked in Richmond so it's probably all changed since then.

    Saw it on the way back from Whole Foods and made a mental note.

    It is fair to say that I go there very often and know the price list by heart... Large falafel wrap is 3.50 although the sign says 4 pounds... it's incredibly good value for this part of the world.

  • I've just tried 'Wrap it up' in the City, over priced and a bit dissapointing, definately not worth a journey in from Richmond.
    If I know you, and I like you, you can borrow my bike box for £30 a week. PM for details.

    Still pretty good. We managed to persuade the boss to order from there for our occasional lunchtime CPD sessions.

    I wonder if DDD has visited :lol:

    Falafel King on Leather Lane is heavily patronised by my colleagues, but again a bit of a schlep for lunch.

    Bit of a way to go from Richmond, but Picante, near Victoria, is excellent. Gussio introduced me to it.
