Fed up with celebrity chefs drizzling sauces over undercooked pieces of meat? I am!

I regularly dine out and am happy to share my restaurant experiences, and musings on food with you.

The Plough Inn - Rottingdean

 

Eva and I had a late lunch on Friday in The Plough Inn in the village of Rottingdean.

The Plough Inn, 

Vicarage Lane, 

Rottingdean, 

BN2 7HD, 

01273 390635

As per the website:

"We’re very lucky at the Plough Inn to have an enviable spot right by the village pond & green in the beautiful seaside village of Rottingdean.

The pub dates back to the 1840s, and some of the original flint walls are still intact from that time. The impressive brick building is home to a popular and vibrant village pub with a great reputation for both food and drink.

Step inside and you’ll find not only a cosy traditional pub, complete with oak beams and wood panelling, but also a warm welcome and friendly service. We are child and dog friendly too!

Our small but perfectly formed garden offers the chance to take drinks and dining outdoors in the fresh air.

A sun trap in the summer and heaters for the cooler weather it’s good to get outside."

The welcome was warm, the service friendly and efficient and the food was first class (especially the faggots!).

We are more than happy to recommend The Plough, and we will most certainly be making a return visit.

Si Signore - Brighton

 

On Friday Eva and I went to Si Signore, a lovely Italian restaurant in central Brighton, for the very first time.

12 Sydney Street

Brighton, 

BN1 4EN 

01273 671 266

As per its website: 

Si Signore opened its doors on 18th April 2006. Situated in the North Laines in Brighton is the perfect place whether dining solo, on a date night, celebrating with your family or to experience home made Italian cuisine.

Get your meal started with a glass of Italian wine or cocktail and to follow try our homemade Bolognese, oven baked lasagne or signature dish, they will impress you at the first bite. Part of the experience of dining at Si Signore is trying our homemade tiramisu paired with a shot of Italian liquor or a great espresso.

If that’s not enough, our friendly staff always ready to help and welcome you and our décor and lovely atmosphere will let you feel relaxed and thrilled to come back

 GRAZIE MILLE!

The menu has a great range of starters, pasta, pizzas, meat and fish dishes to choose from. 

Eva had the prawns then the crab ravioli, and I started with the meatballs followed by chicken in a mushroom and bacon cream sauce.

The atmosphere, food and professional friendly service were all first class!

I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant, and we will most certainly be returning there in the very near future.
