The Stockpot is one of those rare finds that I was lucky to stumble on some years ago on one of frequent visits to London; located in Soho and very convenient for theatreland.

INTRODUCTION Stockpot on Old Compton Street is a venerable London institution, which came to my attention some years ago when I first moved down South.

The menu consists of various traditional dishes including shepherds pie, beef stroganoff, fish and chips, and rib-eye steak. Pasta dishes and salads are also plentiful. The starter and dessert options are to-die for, and soft drinks are £1.
