Eating With Tod's top London cheap eats for under £20 - from famous bagels to chocolate-dipped beignets

Eating With Tod is my favourite content creator. For those of you who aren’t familiar, he’s a geezer, who knows where to dine out in the capital.

From epic roasts to hearty bowls of pasta, Tod has got recommendations up the wazoo.

The content creator, who has a following of more than 700k on TikTok and a whopping 1.6m followers on Instagram, recently posted a video sharing his top places for a budget meal in London.

His Best of London guides have amassed hundreds of thousands of views, with fans eager to try his top picks.

And we all know January is the month of money-saving, so what better time to trust our Tod by trying one of these delicious eats for less than £20.

Give him a follow on @eatingwithtod and see his recommendations below.

1. Dishoom

Dishoom is a chain with its roots in Bombay. The restaurant has venues across the city including Kings Cross, Covent Garden and Shoreditch.

Tod recommends heading there for the Wrestlers Naan Breakfast Wrap.

Costing £13.50, it contains an entire Full English Breakfast wrapped inside naan bread and finished with chilli jam. The wrap can also be dipped in masala beans.

2. Schnitzel Heaven

You’d better be hungry (and wearing stretchy trousers) because Schnitzel Heaven serves some of the biggest schnitzels we’ve ever seen.

For £12, you can enjoy a schnitzel which Tod described as “big as his torso”.

Where: 57 Pitfield St, London N1 6BU

3. Fortitude Bakehouse

All that savoury needs something sweet, and nothing beats a chocolate-covered beignet.

For just £4.50 you can indulge in an enormous chocolate-dipped, cream-filled beignet.

Tod said it will “give you a mouthgasm”.

Where: 35 Colonnade, London WC1N 1JD

4. The Pub That Floods

Otherwise known as the White Cross in Richmond, the Pub That Floods, went viral several times last year.

The pub garden floods with the tide of The Thames, creating a giant game of the floor is lava for customers.

Punters have to wear wellies but can dine outside in the flood water. Plus it’s only £6.50 for a pint of Guinness.

Tod says it’s great for people-watching.

Where: Riverside House, Water Ln, Richmond TW9 1NR

5. Noodle Inn

Noodle Inn was the talk of the town last year, with foodies queueing out the door and down the street to taste the thick noodles and meaty sauce.

Tod said he was ‘blown away by the oil spill, beef short rib wide noodles’, so we had to try them for ourselves.

This dish costs just £15.50 and will keep you full, for the rest of the day, maybe a week.

Where: 4-6 Old Compton St, London W1D 4TA

6. Beigel Bake

This London staple is open 24/7 and is pretty much the gospel when it comes to cheap eats in the capital.

A stacked and delicious salt beef bagel will only set you back £5.50. That’s pretty much the same as a meal deal these days!

Beigel Bake was founded in the 1800s and has kept Londoners fed every day since.

Where: 159 Brick Ln, London E1 6SB

7. Hot Bird

Another honourable mention on Tod’s list of top London cheap eats include Hot Bird in Hounslow, which serves epic fried chicken sandwiches for £6.50.

The sandwiches are stacked and spicy, perfect for a delicious lunchtime treat.

Where: Market Place, High St, Hounslow TW3 1EF

The Boring Burger in Guildford also gets an honourable mention from Tod, which he says serves the best burger of the year for just £14. Might be worth the train fair?
