Central London Food - Pub, not too expensive restaurant

Calling all London residents, or lovers of London who spend lots of time there.  I am meeting some people from Austria for a day in London and while I assume we'll do a tourist thing, I'd like some not overly expensive eating options.  My biggest nightmare is treking around London starving with people I do not know very well.  Pubs and not too expensive restaurants are my preference, because I know I do not want to spend a load of money and I'm not too sure about their budget.

We went here one day while walking around and they had good food and good prices. It also has the best view of Parliament and the Eye. Its a boat that is always docked on the Thames but it is a pub. Exit at the Embankment tube stop and walk towards Parliament for about 1 minute and it is there.

It's pretty cheap because of the set menus (the a la carte can sometimes be pricey), but the food is always really fresh and well cooked (and delicious!)
They also do 2 for 1 on main courses on Tuesdays if you're out and about on a Tuesday

They have a sister restaurant prix fixe which is also good here's the "cheap eats" review

There's a Wahaca in central London which is great for a cheap lunch, as it's tapas style you can eat according to your price range

I enjoy Wahaca.

Pubs I find are hit and miss, it depends on where you want to go.  For chain restaurants, I also like Wagamama, and the ever reliable Pizza Express, and always find them pretty reliable.

Also!  Med Kitchen, there are a few locations:
