Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Just wanted to second the rec for Darcys although one day I am going to open a decent restaurant in WGC as it is seriously lacking...pizza anyone?

(Welwyn village has some great gastro pubs though, the Sunday lunch at the White Hart is fantastic)

Swedes - SOLD! Love the look of that. Thanks v. much.

Will bank Darcy's for another date I have in mind as he might moan a bit about the antipodean theme (can you tell that he takes food v. seriously!).

Done Zodiac (didn't have a great meal there though, which is a shame). Done Novelli's too.

Darcy's looks good - marinated kangaroo shock

The Bean Tree in Harpenden is really excellent. Novelli's is nice but I wouldn't call it foodie, it's more of a bistro. But the Bean Tree is proper foodie.

This is the best "foodie" type restaurant I've come across so far...

here

The surroundings are probably not as fancy as Auberge du Lac but think the food is better.

Zodiac at Hanbury Manor in Ware is good.

We're the other side of the county sadly and it's a bit far for dinner. We're near Hertford / Welwyn Garden City, so anywhere within 20 miles of that I suppose. I'd heard that there was somewhere near Hitchin that's good but that's all I know!

DH and I have our anniversary coming up and I'm looking for somewhere lovely to go for a meal.

Previously we've been to Auberge du Lac at Brocket Hall, so I'm looking for something long those lines.

Any ideas?

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
