Hard to believe, but the UK chain restaurant scene is not looking too bad as long as you stick to the ethnic chains. The price to food quality at Pizza Express is exceptional, and Ask / Strada / Zizzi / Wagamama are all places where I would happily show my face.

Although if you go a Pizza Hut / TGI's / Frankie & Bennys / Aberdeen Angus Steak House / Garfunkels then on your own head be it .....
