Last mothers day, I took my mum for a afternoon tea at the old Schooner last year, now while that was ok ( she cant walk well, so it ticked a box that we could park right outside ) we went again early this year, the food quality wasnt the best, it was lukewarm at best and we wouldnt mind something a little better
so looking out for something decent, but not over the top
over to you CCMB
The Highwayman in Rhoose is the best.

Cheers :thumbup: just looked at the menu, not a massive Veggie selection, do they do specials on the day ? ? ?Quote:

one of both my finest jobs and worse jobsQuote:

Old Kitchen ripped out day 1, I start Day 2 and fit the base units, now the capped off water pipes are in the way of a unit, so I turn the water off, cut the pipes out of the way, think nothing more of it, get to the end of the day, my mate is picking me up for a boys bank holiday weekend away, he arrives at about 5.00 ( now thats working late on a Friday, normally 3.30 finish ) but I thought I would get more done, he pulls up, I go to my van to get 2 more end caps for the pipes, I have none, no drama, I can just use a olive from another compression fitting, I had none, mates getting itchy, we need to get away to catch the train, I phone around a few plumbers I knew, they are all in the pub so were not interested, I leave a note " Water still off, do not turn back on, see you Tuesday " and jumped in the car and left :angry: as we drove away I felt ashamed of myself, but got to Cardiff, got on the train and had a beer, all was forgotten
that was a low in my working life
What was your welcome like back on the job on the Tuesday?:hide:Quote:

Aw, I sincerely hope it didn’t ruin your weekend away…………….:hehe:Quote:

If you think £25 is a rip off for steak you clearly dont eat out much.Quote:

You clearly know nothing about good food and shouldn't be giving advice on this thread.Quote:
