Bit hit and miss, Had a couple of decent curries there, but last time was poor both food and service-wise. Will be interested to see what you think. Fairly standard really I'd say.

Tonight I'm having chicken chat, chicken tikka masala and keema nan. Yum.

I think 'fairly standard' about summed it up. Pretty cheap, big portions, decent enough food. No complaints.

Our lads last Sunday with us so I cooked his favourite meal. A huge piece of gammon with loads of cracklin' and roasts. Toffee Pecan Roulade to follow.... eventually.

tonight it's a Hugh Fearnley Shittingstall recipe - Sweet Potato and Peanut butter gratin... simple - but fecking awesome!!

About 1kg sweet potatoes
2 tbsp sunflower oil, plus a little more for greasing
1 red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped, or 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
250ml double cream
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
150g crunchy, no-sugar-added peanut butter
Finely grated zest of 1 lime, plus about 2 tsp juice

Heat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5 and lightly oil a large gratin dish.

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into slices about as thick as a 10p piece. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with a tablespoon of oil, the chilli, garlic, cream and some salt and pepper. Arrange half the sweet potato slices in the gratin dish, spreading them out with your fingertips – you do not have to layer them piece by piece, but try to ensure they are mostly lying flat.

Beat the peanut butter with the remaining tablespoon of oil, the lime zest and juice. Spread this mixture in dollops over the sweet potato in the dish. Add the remaining sweet potato and spread out. Pour over any cream remaining in the bowl.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes, then remove the foil. Bake for a further 30 minutes or so, until the sweet potato is completely tender and the top is browned and crisp. For extra crispness, finish under the grill for a couple of minutes, but watch carefully. Serve piping hot with a crisp, bitter salad to balance the gratin's sweet richness.

Scones. You need scones. Just be sure you pronounce them properly (skons).

It's scone/gone. Anything else is the slippery slope that ends in sticking an r in bath.
