What to do at a fancy restaurant

The Saturday just gone I went to a very nice, what my family would call fancy restaurant in Southwold. The Swan in Southwold do some superb food. But when you go for starter and main, there is a very important rule don’t go fish and fish or meat and meat, go fish and meat or meat and fish. 

I went fish and meat. And both were superb. To start I had mackerel two ways, tartar and smoked and it was delicious. There wasn’t a lot on the plate, but it was brilliant. Then for the main I had duck with pearl barley and braised cabbage. It was fabulous! 

Oh yeah, rule number 2, if you order steak in a fancy restaurant, make sure you do order sides. My uncle and grandpa ordered the steak, expecting there to be the trimmings with it. But no, they literally got a plate of meat. Hilarious! 

So, a different blog post from me today, but I figured I should mix it up. And I am such a foody, well my friends call me a food snob. 

So if you like great food and don’t mind bad waiting service, this is the place for you!
