Our family are going to stay in a hotel tomorrow night. A relatively smart place, with a spa and a '2AA rosette award winning River Room Restaurant'. The dds and I are vegetarian, so I had a look at the hotel's menu on their website. The options for main course include:
- Line caught skate wing pan fried with capers, lemon, nut brown butter - £17 (sounds nice if you eat fish)
- Roast cornfed chicken breast, sage, onion, bread sauce - £15 (sounds nice if you eat chicken)
- Plate of carrots (vegetarian) - £12.95
To be fair, they do also have a tomato risotto - but on what planet does a 'plate of carrots' count as a main course? And how can you justify charging £12.95 for it?
I think we'll be visiting a restaurant in the town instead.
