Egg and Chips at WE5 in Blackpool
Remarkably good value café at Starr Gate, Blackpool is an experience not to be missed.
WE5 café in Blackpool. Note the prices in this 2018 video. What you unfortunately can't see is the notice that tells customers to ask before using the toilet 'for their own safety'! Love the music that plays in this most retro of cafés, which is near Starr Gate.
Made by me. Just toast with mozzarella, chopped and fresh tomatoes, red onion, fresh basil. Nice though.
Home made, by me! Chips made in my new Tefal virtually fat free healthy fryer, which is really good.
Cajun and Bean Burger at The Handmade Burger Company, Glasgow
St Vincent St Glasgow. This area has a profusion of gourmet burger restaurants but we chose this one because it's stylish inside and has the best choice of vegetarian burgers. I wasn't blown away but it was very nice and the fresh cut chips were good.
Handmade Burger Company, Glasgow
Took this on my way back from the very long trip to the restroom. It's certainly very stylish.
A mozzarella and sun-dried tomato panini at a roadside café near Killin, Scotland. Such a nice setting in the trees and serving the best coffee of the trip, but this panini tasted a bit nasty and greasy. What a shame.
Afogato at The Italian Caffe, Glasgow
Very simple – vanilla ice cream and a hot espresso to pour over
Crepes at The Italian Caffe, Glasgow
Second visit to this dependable restaurant in the Merchant City area of Glasgow. The food is very tasty.
Custard Cream and Frappé at Meigle, Scotland
A little roadside café (The Joinery Coffee Shop) on our way back from a trip to Glamis from Glasgow. The 'custard cream' (a very dry biscuity concoction) wasn't very pleasant but the iced coffee mocha frappé was delicious.
Can't remember which café this was in, but they got extra marks for managing to make me a skinny capuccino instead of just pretending semi-skimmed milk was the same thing as skimmed. I was there with Ian.
Mediterranean Vegetables and Feta at the Kings Arms in Kirkby Stephen
Dog friendly cafés rather thin on the ground in Kirkby Stephen so we had a pub lunch. This was mainly mushrooms, which when I last looked were not a staple of the Mediterranean diet... Food and atmosphere will not be winning any awards here.
Leek and Cheese Quiche in Appleby
At a little café called Eden River. Not bad. Nice place.
Egg Mayonnaise Sandwich in Howtown
Light lunch at the really nice little Howtown Tearoom near the landing point for the Ullswater Ferry at Howtown.
Lunch at Avanti in Kirkby Lonsdale
This is our go-to place in Kirkby Lonsdale. Especially nice if it's warm enough to eat outside in the delightful walled garden. Food is excellent.
