While I've visited here a few times I haven't taken the time for a review until now. Last night we went for the traditional Sunday roast, there were three of us and we each selected something different, the chicken, lamb, and beef to try. I also chose to start with a liver and bacon salad as it's not something you see often. The salad was sublime. A perfect mixture of flavors that balanced the saltiness of the meats with a subtle sweetness and crunch from the vegetables. I don't often order liver but if you like it this salad is worth the trip. The roasts themselves were delicious and the gravy was excellent. I can't say I liked the stuffing (much different from the American versions of the same name - more of a cornbread like texture), but the meats were well done and flavorful. The vegetables were good and overall an excellent dinner topped off with some great desserts (brownie and an ice cream sundae). I'm not a drinker so can't comment on the beers, but I can call out the juices they have. They carry Frobisher's, which may or may not be common, but not anything I've had in the US. The Apple-Mango and Orange-Passionfruit juices I had were delicious and worth a try. Particularly the Apple-Mango.

Frankie & Benny's was very crowded, but we only had to wait about less than ten minutes for a table to open up, next to a window. DH decided upon the Prawn risotto, while I had the spaghetti with meat sauce and a side salad. DH also had a glass of the house red wine, which he said he enjoyed. I thought my spaghetti was great, while his risotto - need more time, to me, it was raw! While waiting for our food to arrive, two things happened. First, a large family with a raucous band of child were seated next to us. The noise was deafening for a while. Next, I spotted a couple from our tour group and invited them to join us, which they did. Their food arrived shortly after ours, And in the end we all agreed that our meals were pretty darn good.

About three or four years ago I spent six weeks in Walton-on-Thames and have been trying to acquire…read morea work visa so I could move there from Los Angeles. Not much of a demand for comedy writers/improv comics over there. I attended graduate school (MFA in Creative Writing) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and I experienced some anti-American sentiment there. Consequently, I expected the same in the UK. Never saw it. Quite to the contrary, I've never been treated so well. The British treated me better than my own family, which might not be saying much. One day while my British girlfriend (We've since split up) was at work I walked over the Old Manor Pub in Walton-on-Thames during the lunch hour. I expected either anti-American sentiment or at the very least, a cold shoulder. Again the locals and I had a great time drinking your superior British beer and exchanging anecdotes. I've never had so much fun with my clothes on! I would love to email the Old Manor Pub but can't find an email address anywhere. Does anyone know how I can email them? This is a pub you definitely want to spend time in. If only that British lady hadn't dumped me I would be spending my weekends there today instead of Hollywood. I love the UK.

Meze is a tricky business. On the one hand, one exceptionally good dish can leave you raving about…read morethe restaurant and skimming over its more mediocre offerings; on the other, there are so many dishes that it's very easy for one or two of them to be a bit disappointing. However, luckily, the chefs at The Green Olive know what they're doing, and as the dishes begin to arrive (at the perfect pace), each one proves to be a delight to the eye and the palate. Particularly good are the olives; the taramasalata; the filo pastry cheese parcels; the tabouli; the swordfish souvlaki; the spiced sausage; and the chunky fried potatoes. There is a lot of food in the £17/head evening meze, so meze for two is usually enough for three. You can also build your own menu (a rather more expensive option) or supplement the set meze with the odd extra dish from the menu. The staff are friendly and lighthearted, and are very willing to explain dishes and recommend wines and other accompaniments. Unfortunately, most of the desserts are very sweet, honey-laced Greek confections, and the fruit salad, although generously proportioned, can be a bit on the unripe side. That said, you might not have room for dessert, and the coffee is excellent. The premises are clean and bright, and I found the bathroom in immaculate condition. All in all, a great night out, especially if you've never tried meze before and you want to have a go at something new.

I paid £7.35 ($9.37) for the afternoon fish and chips special deal. It included a huge piece of cod fish, large portion of fries, and "mushy peas", PLUS a pint of ale (I chose the classic "Old Speckled Hen"). The food was tasty and one pint of ale is plenty for me. I couldn't finish it all, I can sit here as long as I like, sipping my ale, AND there is no tipping necessary. What a deal.
