Just in

A la Colthard/English’s

I am convinced that readers would rather read a list of restaurant reviewers’ favourites possibly by category – e.g. price, type of cuisine – than of the latest opening. Amongst my perennial favourites is English’s

Why so? It’s traditional, reliable and – over the past 6 years – and retained the same 3 managers, Nick, Andre and Antonio. On a sunny day out in the courtyard listening to a live vocalist stationed in the Piazza, where better?

My French friend Valerie was in town and to English’s we headed for a long leisurely lunch. I had a Gazpacho Sanmorejo in the Andalusian style and we shared an enormous platter of sea food washed down by a bottle of white Clesse -all too scrumptious!!!

Much better than trying a new restaurant not alfresco.

It was one of those days where we both felt we were deffo in the right place at the right time!!!
