Dicksons - Galleries Washington

Locals in Washington who know their pies and puddings have long sworn by Dicksons in the Galleries. This British takeaway has built a reputation for proper, hearty fare that doesn't mess about. With a Food Hygiene Rating of 5, it's clear they take just as much care in the kitchen as they do with their classic recipes.
