Well, both actually! 😀
We took the hour’s drive to Quorn, north of Leicester, to meet up with Ralph & Karen for lunch and a catch-up. Our destination? The Quorndon Fox.
Last time we were here was back in December 2023, again with these two! 👏👍.
The perfect combo then – great mates and (based on previous visits) great food and service too!
Decisions, decisions!?!? 🤔
We skipped Starters and whilst Ralph opted for the ‘Pie of the Day’ (Steak!), we three chose the Roast Turkey. Generous portions followed with Sides of extra Yorkies, Cauliflower Cheese and Pigs in Blankets – generous enough for the cry: ‘I can’t possibly manage a Dessert‘ from one of us!
Err, Desserts then followed for the majority, with Ralph tackling their Apple & Blackberry Crumble, Karen exercising some restraint and picking just three scoops of ice-cream. Meanwhile, Ann and I fought over a single serving of their Millionaires’ Chocolate Fondant. Yum, yum! VERY chocolatey!
It had been a great meal where the service was as sharp as ever! We said our goodbyes just before 2pm and had a trouble-free journey home (although the M1 was quite busy in both directions!). After a quick diversion to Next to ‘click and collect’, we were soon home, in the warm and enjoying a cuppa! 👍😋.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
