Hi Roy, the way the chicken is cooked, as opposed to Cantonese style:)

Gammon with a lot of stuff, went down very well. :)

Good plateful of grub there... You must have a good appetite, much like your kids! We had a late lunch too; 3.30pm. It's one of those funny times, as you say.

Nice caramelisation on the pork belly, and those are good looking roasties:)

Marco.

That lamb was excellent - it doesn't really get much better. Very little fat, too.

Extra virgin olive oil par boiled and shaken roasties. Gravy with a myriad of different ingredients.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...54748cf049.jpg

We couldn't get a free table until 3.30pm, so we were both starving!

Every other bugger had gone when we arrived:

Del had to start, fried artichokes with a herb mayonnaise:

I had seabass goujons with tartare sauce:

For main, Del had a carrot and parsnip nut roast, with roast potatoes, seasonal veg and vegan gravy:

And I had roast porchetta (pork, but a nicer cut than norm - very succulent) with roast potatoes, gravy, and apple sauce. We shared some cauliflower cheese:

For pudding Del had maple and pecan nut cheesecake:

And I had apple and pear crumble with custard (pic taken before custard was poured):

Top notch, Justers. Roasties look great. Good to know you can still find quality meat in a supermarket - but it would be good as it's Welsh!;)

Only slight criticism is the 'out of a jar' mint sauce. It tastes so much better, dude, made from fresh mint leaves, and it's piss easy to do.

Marco.

I always used to make it from garden mint when I used to live with my parents. Had this ace roller to cut the mint up with.

TBH I just couldn't be arsed - doing that was enough effort.

Yeah, I suspected as much:)

Any thoughts on my lunch out earlier?

Marco.

Not really apart from I hate parsnips. Food looks nice enough. Regular haunt or first time there?
