  We went to the Candle Maker recently and it is a great addidition to the pretty ropey high street. Great British food, from british farmers, is made at the restaurant. There is a pub feel that is super cosy and will be a great winter location but with its beer garden also a place to enjoy the sun.The staff are super friendly and the range of drinks are great too.Up there in the best places in Battersea to Eat. studdedkissesblog.co.uk

  Awesomely cosy pub to while away an afternoon or an evening with friends – bag one of the large tables, amuse yourselves with the board games on offer and settle in for the long haul.The staff are super friendly and will help you in concocting any bizarre combinations you may be daring each other to drink and currently they are playing host to Death by Burrito, so we were also able to squeeze in some good food. The fish burger and chips were excellent and the hot dogs inspired some serious food envy, although I wasn’t that impressed by the Burritos! inher30s.com

  Battersea High Street now boasts a brand new(ish) pub which really lightens up this dreary high street. At the weekend, its home to a semi-food market where artisan traders park up at something which they hope, they’ll be discovered by the masses. Unfortunately instead the clientele shopping here is not really in to that. I walk past the stalls, and traders are leaning over their pretty little food trucks with no more than a few flies lapping up their food.Meanwhile the fruit and veg stalls are heaving – last time i was there a women got reprimanded for adding an extra two oranges to a 1 best before bowl (cheeky). Perhaps a little PR and this tiny high street could be a great attraction as foodies hibernate in Battersea these days, and spend all their time in Doodle Bar.We heard about La Choza popping up at this quirky little pub and couldn’t help ourselves on a Sunday afternoon, albeit with a small hangover. La Choza was born in Brighton, serving up authentic Mexican cuisine to its locals. It has a great following, so it was nice seeing them popping up in London, and very near my flat.We found a seat in the completely empty pub – why it isn’t busier i have no clue. They serve great selection of artisan beers and service is fantastic. Toiling through the menu we decided to start with a delicious starter of deep fried calamari with a deliciously crunchy and very tasty batter. A good squeeze of lime and an outstanding chipotle mayo which was other-worldly good.Perhaps the highlight of our meal, and simplest was the perfect corn on cob. A hot, juicy corn coated in a chilli and lime mayo and a heavenly parmesan crust. It was very messy, but deceptively good – and of course very unhealthy (which these days is anything tasty). Perhaps a little tequila chaser after would have helped it down that little bit more, and cured the hangover.Another street food inspired dish of hot shots, which are jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, colden crumbs and then deep fried. They are served with a chipotle sour cream, which compared to its mayo counterpart was perhaps even better. The hot shots were very tasty but i’ve had much better versions of these – without changing them completely there is only so good these things can get.Hungry?

  This place has an amazing atmosphere, the design is just right. It’s rarely full due to the fact that it is actually quite hidden. The only bad aspect is rather poor alcohol range.
