I believe you can get a decent lunch for £5 or less (i.e. a sandwich and drink) in a lot of the places marked as cafes or sandwich shops. Should these all be tagged as "Cheap Food" as well? Otherwise, I think it sounds perfectly sensible.
No - I was thinking of excluding sandwich lunches, along with chips lunches. Everyone already knows sandwiches don't cost as much as a proper meal, so it doesn't add any information.
You should definitely mention them, cheap or not! I remember adding several places to the old OGL when I was working where you are. Is the pide place still there?
If you don't want the bother of adding all the metadata and stuff then just make the pages and type in the content box, and Bob or me or hoshuteki will come along and tidy up the details (most important datum that you can add but we can't is the "last visited" date for when you last ate there).
I'm not London based, but I'd say we are now less interested in cheap than we were two years ago (#1 was born summer 2006 and #2 earlier this year). Eating out happens less often so we can afford to spend more on the individual occasions and other factors are more important. These include availability of high chairs (or a space in the corner where #1 can't wriggle out), space to change nappies and general attitude of staff and other customers to a well-behaved-but-messy-eating toddler and a breast-fed baby. The need to have something on the menu that #1 will eat or not to have raised eyebrows when we get him out a snack-box of cheese, breadsticks and sultanas is also fairly important. If we need cheap, we'll take our own sandwiches.
Of course, this will probably change when we're hauling around children, rather than babies and toddlers, so this is only one data-point!
I've slightly given up on having childfriendliness data on RGL, since only a couple of our contributors are parents. It would mostly be guesswork, really.
I would like to make a big push at some point for including more acccessibility info, since the surface signs are reasonably easy to gauge - are there steps, is the doorway narrow, etc.
