Roast Sirloin of Beef

 

Rather than expose yourselves to the risk of COVID19 in an overcrowded supermarket, buy produce from your local shops which are plentifully stocked and are not crowded with people standing cheek by jowl.

Here is a fantastic rolled sirloin of beef that I bought from my good friend Derek Stott of D and D Family Butchers, his shop operates a strict policy of no more than one person in at any one time.

The beef was exceptionally tender and mouthwateringly flavoursome, I served it with my special Yorkshire Pudding (cooked under the meat for extra flavour - which also means it doesn't rise).

Scallops and Bacon

 

Two of my favourite local suppliers provided me with the the ingredients for this simple starter.

The smoked back bacon came from my good chum Derek Stott of D and D Family Butchers, and the scallops (note the roe must always be attached for the best flavour) came from the good people of Sea Haze on Brighton Beach.

The bacon and scallops were fried in butter with black and white pepper, note scallops need no more than 60 seconds each side (any more than that and they will be like rubber!).

Absolutely delicious!

Boned Rolled Shoulder of Sussex Lamb

 

My thanks to my good friend Derek Stott of D and D Family Butchers, for this magnificent boned and rolled shoulder of Sussex lamb.

It was incredibly tender, and splendidly flavoursome.

University Rips Off Isolating Students - £17 Per Day for Food!

My uni charging £17 a day for food if you have to isolate is an absolute shambles. How can they expect everyone on budgets to be able to afford that??

Shout Out and Kudos To Pinocchio Brighton

 

A special shout out and kudos to the good people of Pinocchio Brighton, who looked after us so well last night.

Despite being rammed, because of the success of the #EatOutToHelpOut scheme, the atmosphere was great, the service was efficient and friendly and the food fantastic.

Maître d' Olga even managed to dig out a splendid and robust bottle of Chianti Colli Senesi, which was not on the Covid reduced wine list, from deep storage.

Thanks to Olga and the ladies/gentlemen in red for a great evening!

#EatOutToHelpOut Warning

 

I understand that some restaurants who have signed up to, and advertise, the Eat Out To Help Out Scheme are not offering this to their diners during all the hours that they are open on Mondays-Wednesdays.

Restaurants who have signed up are obliged to offer this during their opening hours on those days. To time limit the offer can be construed as advertising under false pretences and, possibly, indicates fraud by the restaurant.

Hat Tip To Cote

 Hat tip to Cote, they are passing on Rishi's VAT reduction to their customers!

Customers Scam Restaurant

 

A restaurant in #Weymouth has been left with an unpaid bill of nearly £500 after diners walked out.

The group of 12 were caught on CCTV leaving Les Enfants Terribles after ordering the most expensive items on the menu.
