Dhal for lunch

Written by

So easy, so delicious, so nutritious, so warming and so cheap. A sweet potato and lentil dhal with naan bread - didn't make the bread but I did use coriander seeds out of the garden.

Something for everyone at the Gardeners Arms

Written by

After football what you really need is a big old plate of roast beef, half a bitter shandy and a chance to read about Arsenal/X Factor in the News of the World - and they serve Sunday lunch here in Tostock until 3pm.

I love George Debman butchers

Written by

Because he said the piece I wrote about him in last year's Christmas edition of Suffolk magazine was 'sensational'. And he says that if I go to his butchers he will give me a bit of free bacon.

Hello Haverhill

Written by

Ladies and gentlemen and other people , this is about to become a website and so I  have been to a training course  (www.phoenixinternetconsultancy.co.uk) in Haverhill to learn how to do it. The sandwiches and freshly made mini -quiches were so good I had to find out where they were from. Around the corner is a cafe where they do a dish of the week (madras beef curry when I went) and other lovely home-made food. Italian meatballs, mozarella and tomato sauce - all home-made, for £3.20 anyone?

Pakenham Fox

Written by

Sunday lunch at Pakenham Fox this time, where a crowded pub indicated this is a popular event.  The buffet had a choice of three meats (had the roast belly of pork - looked the freshest and tasted pretty good).  You get called up table by table and can pile your plate as high as you like for £8.95.

Four Horseshoes at Thornham Magna- big lunch

Written by

Went for a walk around Thornham and popped into the Four Horseshoes - a Greene King pub -mid-afternoon to find their carvery still in full swing. It runs all day and is £10 for a plate enough to keep my teenage son happy.  Good choice of nice veg but we are starting to spot the obvious but fatal flaw in a Carvery - how do you keep the meat moist and juicy?   We have to keep choosing the fatty Pork Belly (which was quite tasty) as everything else looked a bit dry...

11th August 2020 - Ten years later and we return here to Eat Out to Help Out. We sat in the very lovely pub garden and the young staff were simply delightful offering a smooth and upbeat service. Food was good although I had the steak and mushroom pie which was really a tasty casserole with a puff pastry lid. Beers are excellent so I had a pint of Woodfoode's Wherry and a pint Earl Stonham Brewery best bitter.

Jerusalem Fartichokes

Written by

Have you noticed? Unlike asparagus and strawberries now these are truly seasonal and grow like weeds. I dug these up before the ground got too hard and made a delicious lunch with a grating of Lincolnshire Poacher cheddar on top. Mmmm...
