We've got the "whats cooking" thread going, so thought I'd chuck up a thread of places worth visiting for decent grub, location etc... might give people a sway when they're visiting somewhere new etc.

On the way back a little treat to finish the day, stopped in South Sands Hotel, near Salcombe... cream tea...the correct way, cream first! Lol

Gaucho Richmond,right on the Thames,really nice if you like steak and people watch.

I did a horrendous faux pas once,I was about 18 and fresh out of Sunderland where my definition of fine dining was an egg on my beans and chips.

in Paris in a resto and the waiter put a saucer with a small bowl of clear liquid a slice of lemon,and a napkin beside me,I thought “Ah,Clearwater soup?” So I squeezed the lemon into the bowl and drank the finger bowl.

My mate in the valleys , he got a job in a nearby con club, he was invited to have a feed at the buffet , he found the big prawns a bit tough , as he crunched his way through the shells. Later then with a gifted apparently very expensive red wine he poured himself and I some in a pint glass and topped them up with lemonade lol, he, as all of us, now has an appreciation of good grub and how to cook , and he knows a fair bit about wine too.

Ive eaten in pretty much all the top London restaurants over the years at one time or another and have narrowed it down to a small list of 7 or 8 that i'll use regularly......theres a massive difference between posh and classy ....classy restaurants dont have to be posh but posh restaurants have to be classy and thats where most poncey snobby gaffs get it wrong in my opinion.

If you're looking for some tasty spots, I've got a few suggestions you might enjoy. First, if you're into farm-to-table dining, you should check out some places on https://www.mklibrary.com/best-sacramento-restaurants/ . They have a great list of spots focusing on fresh, local ingredients—a real treat if you love knowing where your food comes from!
For something different, how about exploring some hidden gems in smaller towns? I've found that sometimes the best meals come from those little family-owned restaurants that only get a little hype but deliver unique flavors. There's this one place I stumbled upon during a road trip – it had the best homemade pies ever, totally worth the detour!

She’ll get f**k all until she starts screwing the nut 

That 1600 and change will turn into a 2er before you can say “sale in primark and I just panicked “
