i have worked in morden for over 7 years, but have never ventured beyond a handful of eating establishments. i have started this blog, with a view to visiting every vendor of hot grub (excluding global fast food chains like subway and dominos, but including uk fast food chains like gregg's and chicken cottage) within a mile radius of morden tube station.

morden sits at the southern end of the northern line in zone 4. it's in a no man's land between wimbledon (extremely affluent), and mitcham (...not affluent), and is consequently home to people from a broad range of ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. the area is (with the best will in the world) extremely dull. however, this blog will celebrate the mediocrity of this inner london suburb, through food.

King Cafe - 27.11.2014

EATERY: King Cafe, 137 Green Lane, Morden, SM4 6SE
FOOD ORDERED: Tuna & Sweetcorn sandwich with side salad

 

" 'king Hell "

King Cafe is located on the edge on the mile radius around Morden tube station that I drew when I started this blog, and as such, is the furthest I've travelled for a meal yet.

KC is an unremarkable greasy spoon on the south side of Morden. I ordered a tuna sweet corn sandwich with an extra side salad. The sandwich was filled adequately and the bread was fresh cut. The salad was basic, and fresh-ish, but over-priced considering it's size. All together my lunch came in at £5.60, which to me seems a bit steep. In fact the price marred the whole dining experience. Although the meal was decent enough, I left feeling violated.

QUALITY: 6.5/10
PORTION SIZE: 6/10
PRICE: 4/10
SERVICE: 6.5/10
ATMOSPHERE: 5.5/10

OVERALL: 5.7/10
