24th November 2013 - Sunday Best

Not a busy day. Slept in a little if truth be known. Nothing scheduled for the day except the St Teilo Christmas Sunday Lunch. A new venue for me - E J's . It has been a garage in the past and then turned into the strangest gynmasium that could be..

Later time turned it into a restaurant - and as it turned out we dined in the jaccusi and sauna  room - though there was little sign of that  as we dined...

looks nicer at night - but there you go

Food was excellent - but it never fails to surprise me how bad management can spoil a business. There were the staff. The food was excellent . The service was deplorable. The bar staff spent longer trying to gaze at the computerised till than they spent upon serving the customers. It was as though they were mesmerised and fell into a trance as they gazed down - leaving an ever increasing queue in front of them - an they seemed oblivious to the frustration building up !!   How can you miss that ???

So, a lovely meal that should have lasted an hour - maybe and hour and a quarter - ends up playing well into the late afternoon. After Tesco closing time !!!  After Hospital Visiting time ...

But the good news was that it was only walking distance from home....

Good to know that a 3 course meal is availble ( even if you have to wait) for £8.85 per person .. Yummm...

Cadfael and Tinker Tailor Soldier Sp ( the Gary Oldman version) on TV this evening ... Well not actually playing tonight - on the old Catchup...

Better pop a bottle of Chateau 41 and a glass of scotch ......
Might have to think more about a diet int he new year - Expanse growing a little .. Ho Hum !!!
