Dinner At The Narrow

It's Friday night, you've had a long, hot day at work, and you just don't feel like cooking.  There's only one thing to do - head to a riverside pub and have dinner looking over the water as the sun goes down.

A little pre-dinner drink...

At the table, the waterglasses were these cute blue china numbers.  It was sort of like drinking out of a toothbrush holder, but cute nonetheless.

We shared our starters, because we're democratic and because we're indecisive.  You can see B's hand in this shot, poised to snatch up his fork and begin.  I think he might be growing tired of my photographing our food before he can eat it.

We had rabbit spring rolls, which were wrapped in thin, crackly pastry and came with a deeply savoury dipping sauce, and we had hot smoked trout with tzatziki and fennel flat bread.  The salmon flaked into lovely moist chunks; it played really beautifully against the thin crunchy flatbreads and the coolness of the tzatziki. 

B had the roast pork belly for his main course, which came with a crispy croquette of trotter meat and black pudding.   I had the lamb, which was on a bed of Swiss chard and came with a little sausage roll made from tender shredded shoulder meat.  I was charmed.   A posh sausage roll!  So adorable!  In the picture you can see our side dish of Cornish potatoes, which were nice, but unnecessary.  We could barely drag ourselves up from the table after we'd finished eating. 

What are you up to at the weekend?  Are you having food adventures?  I'm going to the butchers tomorrow to buy MEAT. Mmmm, meat.  See you there!
