indian? akbars, aagrah or nawaab are all decent sized sites. new akbars is in the old bibis site which is right in the centre of one of the drinking areas on greek street. Nawaab is 5 mins from station aagrah bit further away near playhouse.

bibis should be able to help. http://www.bibisrestaurant.com 200-odd cover italian brasserie, lively amosphere for a christmas do you won't go far wrong.

i think it only fair to point out pweavers comments are from several years ago!

don't know what happened but it appears that le pentole are back in business.... http://www.davidmellordesign.com/acatalog/...less_Steel.html

taxi to new tayyab, though check ramadan openings.

is that the fashion nowadays? i am behind the times

absolutely! i forget was it front cover or centre page spread?

yes, we got our copy and a crumpled certificate last week! not sure about the AA pub or restaurant guide yet, we've had communications with them but not heard anything so far.

and what a well photographed and put together book it is too, well done!

lots of butter, lots of cream, bit of potato, what's not to like

all i need to know is do they have the lozere lamb chops and mashed potato on the menu?

if my cunning plan comes off so might i ← and indeed it has, well i found i'm within striking distance , give or take 133 miles each way, and as long as i'm back to northamptonshire for a wedding on saturday afternoon all is well

never been to NYC, but the paris one offers phenomenal value imo. ← can't say i'd go that far! when it's good it's very good, but it never seems to cost me less than £100 a head.

yes, i nearly choked on my warm beer, it's a classic. and to think all that money i've been wasting on cellar refrigeration in the pub

Afraid not timothy, just saturday and sunday lunch at the moment. cheers gary

if my cunning plan comes off so might i

not sure about the black & white chequers but the rest looks cool

i was just letting you fulfill your childhood fantasy of pouring your own pint! i was allowed to be tired, i had just flown back from hols that morning!
