Diddly Squat restaurant

Do you fancy takeing your partner for a lovely meal?

Sadly if they are vegan then dont bother,
If you want other than beef - dont bother
If you fancy Sirloin - dont hold your breath - you get what you are given.

Might be worth a visit, as its only about 20 mins down the road (assuming its at the farm or near the shop). But looks a bit pricey, so Beefeater it is ;D

I see nothing wrong with this. Take it or leave it. He'll still sell it out ten times over and anyone expecting anything else is deluded...

Damn right.  But £50 a head is in the realms of fine dining, which this aint.  Though it'll be over subscribed as people will want to get on the telly....

We had an interesting eating experience last month in Spain. We polled up at a rural hotel and the owner said I will book you in to a restaurant in next village.

When we arrived it looked like any hock village cafe bar. Owner came over and said what do you fancy? Is there a menu.?  No. What do you fancy? Fish, meat? We settled fpr beef.  Bottle of wine which came with a very nice tapas ( free) . Dessert was delicious too. No prices! It was one of the nicest meals we had for ages. 84 euros for two.  We think he was a Michelin star type chef that had down sized for an easy life.

Theres a place in France called La Lauzetane (possibly spelt wrong...) - magnificent, outnin the mountains. Owner just does a fixed menu every day, will accommodate you if you have allergies etc but otherwise "tomight its fish" or whatever.

I love it, and it must be better than having mounds of unused food sitting about every night just in case.

This place?

Yes. Please note it was at least 6 years ago we went, probably more, so it all may have changed.

I  Believe quite a few OOFers wear masks each day so as not to frighten normal folk!

Just remember that the French have a strange inability to be able to cook cow.  French steak is worse than army boot leather.  Well, if they cook it at all, that is ;D
