Sunday Lunch

Yesterday was my Mum's 60th birthday so Barry organised for us all to go to the Sheene Mill at Melbourn for lunch. My brother and Kim picked up my Nan and we met them at the Restaurant. The man who owns the Hotel/Restaurant is Steven Saunders of "Ready Steady Cook" fame, although he wasn't there yesterday as he has opened a new restaurant in Newmarket that needs his attention.

We sat out in the garden by the river enjoying a drink before our meal, and the food was delicious. My Mum has to have gluten free and when she asked the waiter for the chef to let her know which meals she could have she was pleasantly surprised to see nearly everything come back with a tick.

I had a 'Summer Panzanella Salad' to start and Jo had a 'Tian of crab salad' which we all joked was a mis-print and was actually a 'Tin of crab'. Heheheh. As it was a Sunday, the menu consisted of mainly Sunday roast type food and I had the roast pork loin with bramley apple sauce (mmmm) but Jo had the Seabass which was really good.

For dessert I had the Strawberry Shortcake and Jo had an Almond and Pear Tart with vanilla ice cream. All in all a very nice lunch (and wine). The main thing was that my Mum had a great time, and she loved the watch that Justin, Kim, Jo and I got her. Jo and I also got her a pair of earrings as little something extra and to also say thank you for having us.

Today we are off for a short trip into Cambridge for some last minute buys, probably including Marks and Sparks! Then hopefully back in time to watch the Australia vs Japan game at 2pm.
