lazzers eating out guide

The Shires - Peatling Parva
Sunday lunch 8/10.
3 courses for £14 (I think - I wasn't paying) and v good value for that. The starter was a meal in itself.
Carvery was plentiful. The main problem was that it was packed and although they had a team of teenage waitresses they seemed to be struggling with the large numbers. It took a long time between courses and we kept having to ask if we could order more drinks. My wine finally turned up after I'd finished eating. We were told when to go up for the carvery but then the meals for the people who had ordered off the menu turned up ages later, with the vegetables for them another 10 mins after that.
I would go again though.

Some people I know might dispute that :icon_wink

But not today; the sun was shining, it was a birthday party, I was with good company so didn't mind the wait.

Terracotta - 7/10

Was ok, food only warm and seeing a Deep Fried Crab Claw made me feel sick.

 

[Hazzman]

Hope & Anchor, Wanlip - 5/10

Reet downhill since it's early glory days. Nothing worse than sticky tables IMO. The bottle of Peroni was nice.

I won't mark Pizza Hut at Thurmaston.....

The Pheasant, Keyston, Huntingdon.

9/10. Too posh for you ****s.

How the **** did you get in then?

I hope you didn't eat with your fingers!

I knew you would master that one day. Do you hold them the right way around, sharp pointy things pointing toward the food etc?

The Wharf Inn at Welford, just a nice place to have lunch and the beers on offer were excellent.

I might go to check it out. The teenage waitresses that is. If they are long on looks and short of skirt, then I will consider it.

Wild Guinea Fowl, VERY freshly killed.

Just a technical point Melts, but if it was a WILD guineafowl, how fresh do you think it would have kept on its journey from sub-Saharan Africa?

Very fresh if it was alive during transit.

 

[OldGit]

It was locally raised. Just wild at being sent to be eaten.

Both good points, well put.

"For global travelers with a cultured palate and a love of variety"

"Housed in a dramatically colonnaded space, Asia de Cuba's innovative menu is matched in its surroundings by a dramatic series of soaring 'art columns'."

Sounds a bit like the Koh-in-hoor on conduit street? :icon_wink
