Dh and I have just come back from having lunch at Heston Blumenthal's pub in Bray!

[collision]

It was fab and we didnt have the children with us which was even fabber!

I had

Dandelion and bacon with quail's egg salad

and

Lancashire HotPot with red cabbage (Hotpot also had an oyster in it )

and DH had

Rabbit and Bacon Terrine

and

Oxtail and Kidney Suet Pudding

Delish.

Highly recommended.

Oysters used to be cheaper than meat so were a staple protein for poor people, put in to make it go further.

hi kathy!

[interested to know what you think of his dark materials trilogy btw on my other thread....sorry collision, hijack over]

Just realised that I forgot to mention that we sat next to Stephen Marchant who plays Darren the manager in Extras!

Ricky Gervais' sidekick.

and who co-wrote the Office.

sounds lovely.

[hi Sophable! Will find your thread. Sorry for hijack.]

Ok. My hubby wants to know, did you come out and feel like you'd actually had something to eat!! Or were they tiny weeny portions that a toddler would eat and still feel hungry?

btw, don't think that's an outrageous price at all for a decent meal. Ideally would like a few glasses of wine in there for that price myself but can't have everything

Yum... DP and I keep talking about spending a weekend in Bray and eating in all the lovely places but in a 'when we're a bit better off' kind of a way. Maybe a landmark anniversary! How far in advance did you book the pub?

dh would love to go here and we both watched his tv series.
I always worry that I'm not going to want to eat anything though, cant see me eating rabbit or kidneys

What's it called?
