I also like the sound of the lamb and black sheep, but whats black sheep??! Is it just sheep meat or is it something sinister like its kidneys or liver or something? the 'black' is making me think black pudding *vom*

The three salads and veggies, nothing on the salad selection really stands out to me, so ive got;



roasted new potatoes
carrots and cauliflower
lemon cous cous (thought that would be a go'er for the fishcakes)


And for the desert, i was tempted by the cheese and crackers, but if i have anything other than chocolate, he'll refuse to marry me, so the final choice of the chocolate truffle is non-negotiable hahaha

Ive spoke to my only vegetarian guest who said she eats fish, so the veggie options are ok, and i know the kids will eat those without any moaning. well, ours will, bollocks to any one elses kids lol

Sooooooooo

what do you think?

took me bleedin' ages to type all that out

Yeah it is,it says black sheep ale.... It's a beer, be like beef and ale pie but a lamb and ale casserole

Lemon n tarragon chicken with lemon cous cous with the chocolate truffle Thank you Velcro Mmm made me hungry =D ♥ X Yum Yum Nom Nom Yum Yum lool

Yes black sheep is brewery and so refers to the ale rather than the meat
