eating

hello

I will stay in London (Greater) for few months and I will have limited ability to cook and prepare meals.

So, I will only be able to eat out, or get take food home from outside, or prepare meals with minimum kitchen facilities.

What I would like to know is if there is anywhere in London a place to have nice hot meals (even take-away) with a reasonable variety (I cannot eat the same each day).

There are some super-markets that have cookers inside and prepare meals that you can take home, but I am not sure if there are and where they are in London.

Also, any restaurant that offers a great variety of hot meals to eat there or take home, with reasonable prices would be very interesting.

Last, I am not sure if you can suggest me other solutions, like preparing meals at home (I know there are frozen meals at super markets but most aren't quite edible).

Any relevant info, highly appreciated!

Thanks

    What cooking facilities will you have? If you are, for example, going to have access to a work kitchen with microwave, you could use it to cook/heat a supper, pack it into thermoses or equivalent before you leave and eat it at home, ie do the packed lunch thing in reverse.

    as eating is my major concern, I will basically find a place to live near where I will find a solution for eating!
    I don't have a budget for food, but I would like to keep it as low as possible, but without eating the same food each day (I need variety) and it must be hot normal full meals (not cold sandwiches, etc)

    limitations in cooking is that I will have an oven, an microwave oven and minimum cooking utilities
  • An oven and microwave are hardly minimum facilities there are plenty of things you can cook with these.
