It was an 'experience'! To be honest Id of prefered to go back to Fifteen and keep £200 in my pocket. We've been trying to get a table for over a year so had to go, just happened to be today!   :drinking:

Yes thats right, they only do a 'tasting' menu. £450 is only what the average dealer would charge for 4 1/2 hours labour to bugger your car up!! So its not so bad seeing as we both had a good night!! Its not like is a daily or weekly occurance. Im not a food snob at all and Im quite looking forward to my 'extra hot' nandos chicken tonight before I take the missus to see Harry Potter  :signLOL:
