Lets
begin with a photo :
Here
are a couple of examples - the Starters and Fish & Chips,
followed by the Seafood and Salads choices :
Don't
be put off if you'd prefer meat – you can get steaks and casseroles
too!
I'm
not going to drone on – take our word for it – all four of us –
it's a great place to eat.
There
are probably two highlights of the evening.
You
may notice that “Moules Mariniere” is on the starter menu –
fresh steamed wild mussels with white wine, garlic, cream and
parsley. Pretty standard you'd say for a fish restaurant and you'd
probably be right.
Here's
the Before and After :
“So
what – a bowl of mussels is a bowl of mussels”. Bear with
me.
Shirl
and John lived in France for a number of years and are more than
qualified to offer an opinion on this dish. John said, “the
best mussels I've had since leaving France”. Another big tick
for Sara's.
It's
what came afterwards :
As
John enjoyed his starter he created this collage of shells – if I
hadn't watched him create I wouldn't have believed it. Eat your
hearts out – sorry for the atrocious pun – Carl Andre and his
Bricks in 1966 and/or Tracey Emin's Bed in 1998 – this is my
submission, on John's behalf of course, to Tate Modern!
Finally,
when was the last time you went into a chippy and ate dessert? I
don't think so. Personally I don't expect dessert - I'm not a fan
and usually so full I can't make room anyway. How wrong can a person
be. If I had a dessert weakness if would be for creme brulée –
yep there it was and here it is in all its glory :
and
for those who don't fancy the Brulée, how about Pavlova?
Sara's
is like no other chippy I've ever been in – not surprisingly the
Chef is French, Natasha and we'll be back!
A
great night, with the best company and food too and I'll never forget
those mussel shells!
P.s.
By the way – we have been checking the weather forecast – I know
we have a reputation for being obsessed with it. It's all beginning
to come back to me - when holidaying in the UK everything you do is
controlled by the weather. Guess what – it's all change tomorrow,
the rain is on its way!
