GOLD AWARD
THE PIPE & GLASS INN
West End, South Dalton, Beverley, East Yorkshire (01430 810246; www.pipeandglass.co.uk)
A former gatehouse dating back to the 15th-century with a country pub feel and plenty of outside dining, the Pipe & Glass serves local and seasonal produce. Dishes include Yorkshire Blue cheese salad, lamb with a mutton and kidney faggot and venison suet pudding with chanterelle mushrooms. Sweet-toothed diners will be tempted by the impressive choice of desserts, including apple and bramble crumble and warm treacle tart with roast plums and eggnog ice cream. The restaurant offers separate vegetarian, children’s and Sunday lunch menus.

SILVER AWARD
CAFE 21
Trinity Gardens, Quayside Newcastle (0191 222 0755; www.cafetwentyone.co.uk)
Terry Laybourne’s Café 21 is a stylish but relaxed restaurant that capitalises on his long-standing rapport with Northumbria’s best producers. On the menu are Neil Robson’s Craster kippers served in a warm salad with Ratte potatoes, endive, a soft poached egg and mustard dressing, and oak-smoked salmon plated simply with a hunk of wholemeal soda bread.
SILVER AWARD
THE HARROW AT LITTLE BEDWYN
Marlborough, Wiltshire (01627 870871; www.theharrowatlittlebedwyn.co.uk)
Proprietors Roger and Sue Jones have transformed this former derelict inn into a Michelin-starred restaurant specialising in fine British food, with everything from the asparagus, peas and broad beans to the milk, cheese, pork and game supplied by nearby farms. The restaurant is famed for its excellent truffles – try the wild mushroom and English truffle risotto or the cauliflower and white truffle soup.
RUNNERS UP
LUDLOW FOOD CENTRE
Bromfield, Ludlow, Shropshire (01584 856000; www.ludlowfoodcentre.co.uk)
A traditional farm shop with a twist, the 4,000 square foot shop floor has eight glass-fronted ‘food workshops’ where customers can watch staff baking bread, boiling jams and making cheese and ask them questions about the production process. Head to the butchery for beef, pork, goose and venison, the delicatessen for cured meats, fresh quiches and pies and the dairy for cheeses and homemade ice cream. There is also a coffee roasting room and an on-site café serving a variety of hot and cold dishes using locally sourced ingredients.

Milner Road, Heswall, Wirral, Cheshire (01513 429912; www.rosestearooms.co.uk)
The owners of this popular family-friendly tearoom recently commissioned a master tea blender to create their own blends of top quality tea. To accompany this there are freshly baked cakes and pastries, including Victoria sponge, fruit cake and ginger parkin, nostalgic desserts such as bread and butter pudding and seasonal fruit crumble and a range of speciality scones, including apple and cinnamon, rose, lavender, lemon, ginger and chocolate. The tearooms also offer home-cooked meals such as stews, casseroles and pies in addition to the traditional teatime fare.

Well you are the oldest bird on the block ... so hand the organisation over to some cool young dude! 8)

Can we prepare some promotional material like those Turkish "Embargoed" diners did? We can call ourselves "Inebriated" :D

You and Milti could always have the alternative to the London get together - Call it the "London punch up for CY forum members" :lol:

A fresh date will have to be arranged , yesterday was a suggestion , I would not have able to make it , but will work now for the next available date Saturday 16th, gives us time to find a suitable venue that appeals to all.
Oracle is more than welcome to come and ... take photographs !

This Saturday coming , May the 9th , is my 63rd birthday and will be spending the night at home with family .

Hope to see as many friends as possible on the 16th.

Knew I should've been popping into the forum more regularly.

Hope everyone had fun.

Have any of you heard of the Four Lanterns (96 Cleveland Street, near Great Portland Place)?

Established in 1970, the restaurant is named after a small bridge in the town of Limassol, Cyprus, called "TA TESSERA PHANAIA" (The Four Lanterns). The bridge was in the middle of the Cypriot and Turkish community in Limassol, in the times when Cypriots and Turks lived together.


I've eaten there two or three times, the food and the staff were excellent each time, and it gets a mixed crowd. I think they must have TC staff as well as GC, too, because one of the times I went there was with a Turkish and Turkish Cypriot crowd and I could swear I remember ordering in Turkish.

It'd be central enough for everyone, the next time anyone fancied a meal.
