We actually have an Outback, Chili's, Macaroni Grill, and TGI Friday's in Basildon...not to mention McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, and Subway. I know there is a TGIF's in Leicester Square too! Those sit-down restaurants are always busy. Guess the English like our American food.
We try not to go there too often but ocassionally get that craving. We always joke that we can take our families there when they come to visit.
