EATERY: Sky Inn, Morden Court Parade, London Road, Morden, SM4 5HJ
FOOD ORDERED: Chicken & Sweetcorn Soup, Pork and Prawn Dumplings
"Sky Mangled"
When I opened the front door of The Sky Inn, all the lights were off, and there was no one behind the counter. I thought it might be closed, but a lad shuffled out of the back promptly on my arrival. For take-away eateries, I can forgive a lack of atmosphere. I ordered a light lunch, just of soup and dumplings.
The soup was hot, but thin and watery. The chicken meat was scant and cut into the tiny of pieces. It was also a bit tasteless. The dumplings were cold in the middle, so I elected to dump them in my soup. There were only 4 of them and they were tiny, so they didn't take too long to heat through.
I was pretty disappointed overall. I always expect to pay a bit over the odds for non-european food in Morden, but at £6 plus, I thought I might get a little more for my money. I get the impression that they don't get much custom at the Sky Inn, and with food like this it's easy to see why.

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.
