OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today?

[Marco]

Anywayz... Sunday lunch earlier, chez moi. Welsh double-lamb cutlets, from out local butcher, marinated in fresh rosemary, thyme and garlic, then chargrilled on the BBQ, and served with steamed Romanesco cauliflower, broccoli and mangetout, plus creamed braised fennel, with a side of fine green beans in a mustard vinaigrette:



Different angles to showcase the veg (all from our local farm shop):





...washed down with a nice bottle of Burgundy (Pinot Noir from Lidl, which was superb for the money)!

Nduja meatballs.

Ah, the cheese is back - bravo!

Looks nice, mate. Interesting that you've had roast chicken and pasta, all in the one day

That all looks great, would have enjoyed that.

Let us know how it was please Guy - now we have a pooch I need to find some dog friendly puns and only about 15 minutes from us. Went 13+ years ago and it was good then.

Hi Alex,

Very pleasant (also busy, so a bit of a wait for order to be taken. We were chatting/enjoying each others company so not a problem).

Starters - good range, Trout pate looked very good - I had salt and pepper squid from the bar snack menu as a starter, pleasant but not world class (I have been spoilt with sea food in Hong Kong in the past though)

Main - I had roast pork loin (Eldest daughter had beef, which made me envious as the beef looked like it was done to perfection - still pink inside, but not bloody) Good selection of vegetables, incredible Yorkshire puddings (I was very impressed with how they were turning out consistently well risen, not soggy Yorkshires). Roast potatoes were not crunchy/well cooked, so a bit disappointed with them.

I think that any establishment is going to struggle with a "Sunday roast" as we all can make a "better" one.
I wish that I had asked for the gravy in a boat as I prefer to put it on my own plate.
But, all in all, quite acceptable.

I think that when we go back (and I am sure that we will) I will look at the "specials board" - didn't realise until we were leaving that they had Cromer crab on the menu.

Puddings - I had a Panna Cotta with blackberries and shortbread crumbs - very good. Youngest daughter had the chocolate brownie which she rated as one of the best that she has ever had.

Staff were friendly, surroundings clean and good space between tables. Unfortunately I didn't have a beer (Adnams) as I was driving but daughters boyfriends thought it was fine.
Dog was happy (and really well behaved) - lotsof dogs there - we were happy and very reasonable prices (about £200) for the six of us.

As you live nearby, I think it would be a great place to go on a weekday evening and avoid a lot of "outsiders"

That looks really good - and roast potatoes look right

Cheers, chaps! You can probably tell she's used to cooking veg!

We always have a nice variety of veggies on a Sunday, as Del has that as her main meal - and I certainly get my 5-a-day, lol... All the veg we eat now either comes from our garden or the local farm shop. Big difference in quality compared with what supermarkets sell, trust me!

Oh, and Granty, after cooking lunch, the wee soul's back out in the garden sorting out new plants in pots and clearing up some debris left after we cut down some ivy. Not a work-shy princess, is she?

No doubt, she'll WANT something later, though!

you'll be back on feet, drink and bath duties plus the cleaning up.... now jump to it!!

[Marco]

Lol - you're not wrong! She's in the bath now, giggling away and chatting with her mates on their group chat... Whatever keeps them entertained, eh?

Best clear up the mess in the kitchen then, eh? Great cook, but a right messy wee pup!

Marco.

[struth]

she does like a soak and a chat
