Woolpit – Tea Cups

Home made leek and potato soup in that new tea room next to the bakery. A bit too thick, lumpy with potato and not enough salt but better than anything from a tin. Served with bread that isn’t from the bakery?

tomato overload

Yes, I grew these!

Woooo!! I grew these myself !

Cinnammon buns in Wyverstone

Soft yeasty made-this-morning cinnammon buns, a kind of danish pastry with not too sweet caramel topping, one the nicest home made cakes at Wyverstone yard sale on Saturday. There was also a man with a freezer full of sausages.  www.wyverstonecafe.co.uk  for events like this every two weeks in the village hall.

The Golden Boar – Freckenham

Sous chef from 5* Aldwych One in London apparently but hardly any publicity so basically just a busy village pub.  Took three hungry teenagers -  had nice home-made scotch eggs as a starter and crab on toast was good. Lovely main course of duck/chorizo/chick pea combination but seafood rissotto had inedible razor clams and no sign of some of the ingredients listed on the menu which at around £16.95 for a main course is a hefty bill for four. A bit of waitress-informing would be good too – wine? Red or White madam.
