More apparentness...

Leave it a month til the kitchen and front of house have worked out what they are doing - the decor is back to 80's dullness, no comfy sofas or chairs, pool table is back, should do well then...

I should add this was the opinion of a yocal but i will give it a go in time...maybe

Oh yes, she said Pedi - Hooky and something Elsie

Twice that in the Solent - just in case anybody is using this Forum to plan a coastal maritime venture in that vicinity.

Oh. I see that the promise that they would be catering for veggies applies only if we restrict ourselves to the starters. Although on my father-in-law's logic that I might like a ham sandwich on the grounds that it is "just a thin slice" and therefore, presumably, doesn't count as meat, I would probably be OK with a chicken breast so small it can be wrapped in just a single sun dried tomato. Please forgive me if I haven't done the copy and paste thing right - I'm still a newbie. To technology, not just to the forum.

Ooh...just seen the 'quote' button...that makes life a little easier! I'm sure you are right and being old enough to remember when the only vegetarian alternative on the menu was broccoli bake, I am always pathetically grateful for anywhere that is prepared to put something, anything, on the menu that I can eat. A party of six of us got asked to leave a restaurant in Spain, once, when my husband mentioned to the waiter that I was vegetarian. I can't help thinking that it must have lost something in translation. On a slightly related subject, anyone heading out on the A518 in search of a country pub and prepared to wander a little further than Ranton might like to try The Aston, just outside Newport. If I knew how to insert a link to their website, I would, but I don't. The food is excellent, the service lovely, prices reasonable. At present it is still relatively easy to get a table there, unlike at the wonderful Fox, nearby, where you have to go on a waiting-list and shout to make yourself heard above the crowd.

The menu scanned above is the first 'draft' that has since been amended, and now includes vegetarian options. The specials board will have a vegetarian option also.

Any dietary requirements can be catered for you need only ask! :)

That's great news, K and thanks for letting me know. We were really disappointed when the Hand & Cleaver shut and I expect we'll be spending way too much time there in the coming weeks. I'll be working my way through whatever veggie options you offer...unless it's broccoli bake, in which case I'll have a bag of crisps.

This thing about dietary requirements baffles me. I can understand if it's your beliefs religion and vegitarian the other part, cannot eat such and such. I was brought up in the age you ate it or you go hungry. No choice never asked what you wanted not even at school. We had one or two kids that didn't have milk at school but I thought that was a ploy to have orange ( lucky B's) Also to my knowledge we never had any kid at school who could not eat peanuts. ( probably all dead).
