Gutted

Ambling along our high street a couple of months a go I noticed, horror of horrors, that my favourite restaurant, Felicinis was no more. In its place the revoltingly named Mud Crab.

It may be a surprise to regular readers that I even had a favourite restaurant given that I am not a big fan of restaurants at all. But Fellicinis had some nice and reliable vegetarian dishes, a nice ambience, and was the scene for some memorable family events. Such as the anniversary meal where we asked for the bill to be told that our sons had phoned earlier and arranged to pay it themselves. (WHY didn't we order champagne!)

Also we only only recently discovered that County Council employees benefited from a 20% discount on food upon providing proof of employment. After years of dining there for birthdays etc! Which explains why I was called upon, late one evening, to locate and deliver a pay slip to C and some friends.

So I guess it will be the Poppy & Pint in future. Not as posh, but a great menu for vegetarians.
