On Friday I went for lunch with a colleague to Canal 125 on Caledonian Road, it’s another bar/restaurant I’ve been frequenting for a number of years - since it was known as Babushka’s. Usually I go there for the amazing starter dish - chicken ‘bang bang’ - which comes with cucumber and peanut chilli sauce, unfortunately it has been discontinued which was disappointing; the waitress said it wasn’t very popular (which I find surprising). However, the butternut squash soup I had instead was a nice alternative, the lamb shank with parsnip mash and crisps was cooked to perfection and delicious.

Canal 125 has a long bar area which includes a DJ on an evening, they can cater for advanced parties (I’ve been to a few ‘125′ leaving dos) with a medium sized room and bar available for bookings upstairs. Alternatively when the weather is good, those visiting for drinks rather than good food can spill out onto the Canal terrace (complete with gas heaters) and watch the joggers and canal boats pass by.
