EATING OUT
Are you looking for somewhere special to go this weekend? Do you want to try something new?
Check out one of these hot new restaurants.
This week’s top recommendations
Last Days of the Raj
A centrally located Indian restaurant, perfect for eating before or after a cinema or a show. In
summer enjoy your meal in the beautiful garden. The most popular dishes are lamb and chicken
cooked with mild, medium or hot spices. For brave customers there is extra hot.
A Taste of Tuscany
Wherever you’d like a great value-for-money lunch or a relaxed evening in stylish surroundings,
this is the place for you. The chefs have all been trained in Italy and they make both traditional
and contemporary dishes. We recommend the pasta and seafood.
You Local Caff
Remember when cafes served full English breakfasts – sausages, beans, fried bread, eggs and
bacon – with a strong cup of tea? Well, this place still does and you can have your breakfast at
any time you like during the day while you listen to your favourite tunes from the 1980s.
The Lemon Tree
This pretty restaurant serves healthy food that is tasty too. Come in for a vegetarian snack at
lunchtime or a great fruit smoothie or a cappuccino and a delicious piece of cake in the
afternoon. Food is bought from local producers whenever possible.
Cheesy Bites
A restaurant that only serves cheese, but hundreds of cheeses from many countries and in lots of
different forms. They serve reasonably priced lunches but dinner can be expensive. Lovely food
and a very elegant dining room, looking onto an amazing flower garden.
FastBest
Fast Food doesn’t have to be junk food, as this café proves. Do you fancy a really good
hamburger made with the best ingredients, or old-fashioned fish and chips fried to perfection, all
on the table in super-quick time? Speed and quality are important here, and the prices aren’t bad
either.
The Chocolate Box
The owner of this small café used to cook all kinds of food, but then she realized she preferred
desserts to anything else. If you want meat of fish, don’t come here. They only do desserts. Lots
of different kinds of sweets. Chocolate lovers will be excited by the range of chocolate cakes.
Musical Chairs
Have you noticed how music improves the taste of your food? This new restaurant has different
types of live music every night except Sundays, and excellent food to go with it. Great fish
dishes, steak and pizza. Monday is classic rock night, so see you there!
