We normally mix it up between decent restaurants and straightforward pub grub so that the budget is eased and I get my chips. Here's a pub dinner in Great Yarmouth. If you want the full story my Tripadvisor is here.
The food was a touch expensive at £12.95 for this plate of chicken and prawn noodles. There was loads of it but it was gloopy and chewy.
Next up the purple polo shirt, that 15-1 rejected, makes its first appearance. This was in our hotel in Great Yarmouth which is profiled here.
Continental breakfast was included in the rate but anything else, even toast, was charged. I had these pancakes for £3.95 which were OK but nothing memorable.
Off to the prom now and a stop off for a coffee and a Bakewell tart that I shared with the wife. It was ok but the icing was solid and there was not enough almond flavour for my taste.
We made it to the Pleasure Beach only to find it only opened Wednesdays and weekends - it was Monday! Never mind, we went to a nice open air tea room for a tasty baked potato with cheese and a large cream bun to share. This place had tame sparrows that hopped onto your plate to steal food. Very tasty they were too!
Evening meal now back at our hotel, the Andover House. It has a good reputation for its food and although well deserved it was a bit fussy for me. This chicken Kiev was nice but there was no hot pocket of butter within although my wife said I reeked of garlic for the next two days. Can't be bothered with this 'bed of pureed peas' nonsense although the veg were tasty.
