Went to the Swan in Westerfield last night for a cheeky half-term midweek family dinner.
I had the smoked duck from the specials board (lovely!)
And the lemon and herb chicken skewers.
I was a pig and had Oreo Cheesecake too, but forgot to take a photo!

I'm sorted.
What have you been eating today?
There were two rogans, Bombay aloo, butter chicken, sag paneer, bhajis, couple of different rices, nan another main I can’t identify. We’d already had poppadoms and the pickle tray and starters.Originally Posted by Barry
Three of us had draft cobra and one had bottled kingfisher.

It is good to have a range of curries to cater for all tastes: from mild to fiery hot.
It all looked delicious - but who was drinking the red wine!

Two of us had a bottle of Merlot with the main course (lamb rogan).

Either they’re very big potatoes or that’s not a very big dinner - does look good though!

Some past meals, in very rough chronological order (as I need to slim down the photo library):
A salad eaten in Crete recently, with an Alpha lager.
Some more Greek nosh, this time with a Fix lager:
(I discovered FIX lager (pronounce "FICKS") whilst in Santorini, and now if I am in Greece will always try to get my 'fix' of FIX.
A sort of beef borguigon with chips, and an Alpha beer.
Another Greek salad:
Stuffed pepper and tomato with butter beans and some vegetables with a tomato sauce:
A Greek pasta salad:
Me eating the starter course at Dinner (Happy and I always 'dressed' for dinner; and always received compliments for such):
Now home, so:
Prawns, in a tomato, garlic and basil sauce, chick peas and green beans, with a decent bottle of wine.
More of more or less the same.
Beef with chickpeas spaghetti and some vegetables - and another FIX beer!
Fresh strawberries and grapes with yoghurt for dessert.

Lol - I think it's just the camera angle, mate.
