I've really started embracing twitter. It's only taken me about 2 years to understand the hashtags and following, but now I've got it. And also have realised how useful it is to find out information, like getting recommendations for places to eat!
Thanks to @jayrayner1 and @nellyscupcakes, we are some delicious food over the weekend.
For dinner last night, we went to the Broad Chare, on recommendation from Jay. From arrival, we were really happy to find a cosy and warm pub, with a buzzing atmosphere. The upstairs dining room was great and full of people when we arrived. This was also the perfect place for hubby, as they served real ales.
The menu was impressive. Decent British food, but with style. We both decided that this would be a good place to have fish, so both opted for fish dishes. I ordered Whole baked plaice with bacon and mussels, whilst hubby went for homemade fish fingers with chips and mushy peas.
And boy was it tasty! My fish was so well cooked and juicy, and the saltiness of the bacon with the mussels worked a treat.
To be honest, everything on the menu looked great. As we were finishing our food, another table had ordered the 7hr lamb. Wow! It looked amazing and the smell was wonderful. It serves 5-6 people, so would have been very greedy for us to order for ourselves, but definitely a reason to go back with friends. They also do a rib of beef for 2 people, which we decided not to order this time, but our waitress told us how good it was, so another reason to come back!
Now, I'm definitely much more of a savoury girl and would choose a starter over a pudding, or have the cheese board. However, all the puddings on the menu sounded so good, I had to try one. We ordered Eton mess to share and weren't disappointed. It was like an ice-cream sundae but with chewy meringue and lovely strawberries. Perfect to be eating while watching Mo Farah win his gold
Medal on the iPhone.
Big thumbs up @_thebroadchare. Thanks for having us and look forward to coming again!
