Dined like a King

By Jove, I've just had an excellent meal in St Albans. The best I've ever had in St A's.

Chicken livers with green apple sauce to start, ox cheeks with parsnip puree and some other bits for a main and an apple and blackberry crumble with ice cream for desert.

You could pay more for lower quality in the area, so well recommended.

Only complaints. £28 for three courses. A bit rich compared to what I pay in France for similar but that is probably down to business rates. And the noise level in the restaurant was over 80db. Over 100db in the bar. For God sake, what is it with the British and their need to talk so loudly? It was the same last night at a curry house in Hook, Hampshire.

If you find yourself near St A then it is well worth a visit. If you find yourself near Fanjaux, Southern France, it is worth a visit and a few more euros left in your pocket afterwards

Ox cheeks?
Chicken livers?
Have you gone all medieval since coming back?
Couldn't you just have had a nice bit of steak?
With chips.

It was pricey because you were in Snorbans.

Nuff sed.

I nearly had palpitations when I saw the cost of the wine!
