At the Embassy, amazing canapes and huge choice of foods from various tables dotted around ~ smoked salmon, steaks, pancetta, sausages, mini fish'n'chip parcels, salads followed by mant desserts and birthday cake
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
Possibly the best Sunday roast I've ever eaten, thankfully because at £20 a head for the main it wasn't cheap. We visited the dark satanic Hinchliffe Arms in Cragg Vale, a small village on a road climbing out of Calderdale and up onto t'moors. The road is the longest continuous incline in England at 5.5 miles, although not that steep generally.
Roast beef, Yorky pud, mash and roast spuds, cauliflower/broccoli cheese and roast carrots/parsnip. With the thickest beef gravy ever. i.postimg.cc/qvt0Bvyc/IMG-20240623-WA0001.jpg
27 of us went to eat at our local Taverna, after the Hash
The meal was wonderful, salads and dips plus Kalamari, whitebait, shrimps and grilled chicken, wine and beer 17.50 per head.
Everyone came back here and stayed until about 6.I had made a flourless orange cake and a lemon one which we had with coffee, wine, beer - one person had tea -Yorkshire tea, of course.

After possibly the best Sunday roast yesterday, today it was possibly the best pizza ever.
Sam's Pizza in Hebden, proper Italian pizza not the stuff Marco's serve up at home on a Saturday night (which is delicious too, don't get me wrong). "Marco" is Iranian for a start whereas these two lads who served me tonight were from Hebden.
Yes Yorko, the area seems popular for TV drama locations. The local pub I mentioned in the other thread was used for some outside scenes in that Gentleman Jack (not Jim as I mistakenly said before) series, although the scenes indoors were a different pub.

The pub I ran was used a few times, notably in Byker Grove, where it was turned into a cafe for a few hours by virtue of screening off the beer pumps and gambling machines. Members of the public were tempted in to fill the tables with the offer of tea and cream cakes. At that time of day, it was mainly much older people and the continuity was shot when someone loudly exclaimed that they must use the loo urgently, a cry that was taken up by others. Once they were settled again, the same lady said "Well that was very nice but I have to get home now as Arthur likes his dinner on the table by 12 o'clock" The producer was apoplectic but it was their own fault for not explaining to the 'customers'. Another time, we were invaded by The clothes show and Sam was featured, clearing tables.
