Golly, you'd need one of everything listed to get a feed.

ALSO, I just noticed when I clicked on the link it didn't open in a new tab, just like 440 - backward move IMHO.

New forum software installed. Need to reinstall most of the previous mods. It's on the list.

Cheers.

FYI;
TA ratings dont mean shit for anything,
for anyone to place a review they do not even have to have eaten ( or for a hotel, stayed) there

I disagree Richard. Sure, many fake reviews but If a business has hundreds or even thousands of reviews, that the chance that they were all written by the mother-in-law are slim. Personal experience, and I travel a fair bit, is that if there are many good current reviews than the place is generally worth a visit.

I looked at most of these restaurants and what the offer. I dislike the small portion Artsy-Fartsy food on large plates thing . If your going to serve food give people a good portion. This seemed to start in some French restaurants years ago and caught on in Europe and now America. The food actually may be good in these places and visuals are part of food, but I don't want a work of art, I want a good portion of food that tastes good. BTW/ Before giving it up for another profession I ran kitchens in restaurants and would be embarrassed to put out such small dabs of food that are pictured.
