We've begun a recipe thread on Lymm Lounge, but I wondered if alongside that people would be interested in a narrowed-down thread, where we take a particular meal idea or theme, and everyone who's interested actually has a go. We could compare notes, report disasters and share successes - piccies would be nice. I'm thinking we could try seasonal themes such as Halloween or Bonfire night, or specific meals, breakfast, dessert etc. We could even do cocktails! Yah

You could get into researching ideas online, or use tried and tested recipe ideas... but be warned we would want all of the nitty-gritty, so not for family secret recipes unless you are happy to share. While it would need to be reasonably within the chosen theme - lateral thinking would be encouraged. There aren't any prizes for winning, except hopefully a scrummy meal! I'm not even sure if it would follow the format of judgements and placings and winners and losers...

As a start I have noticed that many of our posters have sweet teeth, so thought APPLE CAKE would make a good challenge to start us off... there's no time limit - but if the topic disappears off without anyone posting I'll know it wasn't a good idea ]]> Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:29:58 +0000 http://discussion.lymm.net/index.php?showtopic=6319 http://discussion.lymm.net/index.php?showtopic=6252
Here's some _not_ to suggest:
Church Green - £14 for pie and chips??
Spread - unless it's improved, always seemed a bit dingy.
Fleece - if the £4.99 all day breakfast still exists, then that misses on several counts.

Where is the bistro, the one above the bistro, bacis and the one above bacis up to nowadays?

the reception that greeted us was very friendly and we were seated at a table straight away even though they were quite busy, prawn crackers were placed on the table whilst we looked at the menu and ordered drinks, the prawn crackers were fab!! we eventually ordered and i must say it was the best chinese i have had in a long time and will now become our regular takeaway because of this.

You could not fault the service we even asked a few questions and they answered them all like we weren't stupid for asking them ie how do you hold these chopsticks lol.

anyway fab meal fab place fab staff would defo go there again yum yum .

also very very reasonable in price 3 drinks each plus starter and main cost us under £50 bargain]]> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:30:23 +0000 http://discussion.lymm.net/index.php?showtopic=6197 http://discussion.lymm.net/index.php?showtopic=6166 I think this offer runs into March.
I'm not connected to the restaurant but it is probably my favourite out of the choice in the village (have not tried the new Mediteranean yet)]]> Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:09:41 +0000 http://discussion.lymm.net/index.php?showtopic=6166 http://discussion.lymm.net/index.php?showtopic=6148
Was about to order a curry from the new place in Lymm when the wife spotted that it is 60% more expensive for the set menu for 2 than the same place in Grapenhall. We were so annoyed by it we got our curry from Bhajis

If you don't believe it check the menus out:-

So bring your kids over and tell us what you think, all comments, as always are very welcome and very much taken on board.
And one for the adults, the bar menu has been made more extensive and is served all day 7 days a week. Coming in at very affordable prices. (well i think so) let me know what you think.
Thanks for your support over the past 12 months and we look forward to welcoming you into our humble abode.

We stopped at Windy Ridge Cafe (there....I've named them!) just north of Asbourne cos it was open, and we were hungry.
I ordered a full breakfast, and TLS a bacon & cheese oatcake, both with a mug of tea. Nothing difficult there, but after 25 minutes we'd had nothing. We were starting to mutter to ourselves when a woman who was sitting nearby asked the counter staff where her bacon butty & tea were because she'd been waiting 35 minutes....35!! She duly got her cup of tea, but no butty.
Sam then asked one of the 2 women who were working where our drinks were, and was told "2 minutes"
I gritted my teeth and told myself that they were very busy and would get everything sorted asap but 10 minutes later I snapped and went to the counter. This exchange followed....
Me: Excuse me, I've been waiting 35 minutes for a simple fried breakfast with a hot drink, I can't wait any longer, can I have my money back please?
Girl (with sulky face): No, it's cooking.
Me: I can't wait, I'd like my money back please.
Girl: We are doing lots of orders, it takes time to cook.
Me: I ordered my food 35 minutes ago, have you only just started to cook it now?
Woman (also with sulky face): We've got all these orders (points to about 4 pieces of paper, all taken from customers who are sitting around looking hungry & confused) to do.
Me: I don't care, this is ridiculous, please give me my money back.
Girl: I don't have to.
Me: Oh yes you do.
Girl: I'm only a trainee
Me: In that case I think you're in the wrong job.
Girl: I don't care what you think.
Me: (laughing) That's why you're in the wrong job.
Woman: Give him his money.
Girl: I don't have to.
Me: (still laughing) This is unbelievable.
Girl: (giving me my refund) There, don't come back.
Me: Ha ha ha ha!
I'm sure that they swore at us as we were leaving too, but hey ho!
As we left, the woman still waiting for her butty looked at us and laughed sympathetically, rolling her eyes. I dread to think what happened after we went, there were at least 6-7 guys who judging by their clothes were farmers who had been waiting for maybe 20-25 minutes by this point.
I laughed all the way to my car, and am still smilling now. When we entered, there were only 4 people in the cafe, 3 of whom had already got their drinks & food. I wonder what they do when they are 'really' busy]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2009 20:01:46 +0000 http://discussion.lymm.net/index.php?showtopic=5956 http://discussion.lymm.net/index.php?showtopic=5944 Does anyone know if the Lymm Lounge is still doing the Early Bird menu ?
