I don’t want chips anymore

Me and Jenny are going out on Lordship Lane tonight. We plan to have a lovely time drinking large glasses of chilled white wine and eating chunky chips and garlic mayonnaise in The Bishop. I like the Bishop very much, they're always friendly in there and you get a good choice of home-made food at any time of day. None of the, "oh, the kitchen doesn't open until six" or "get that child out of here it is six o'clock!" that you get in the Rye Hotel. So, no, don't take your child in the Rye for an early weekend supper, they'll kick him out just as they start serving food.
Anyway, our other best friend, Angela, would usually be with us but unfortunately the magazine she works for, quite last minute, has gone and sent her to Italy to write a food and travel piece. They have also commissioned her photographer husband to go along and take the pictures. She has just texted me this picture of herself and this message “In Portofino and just had trofie al pesto Going to next town now to get big gelato will send pic. Love ya. A x”
Don't work too hard, Sweetheart, will you!!!

It is super in Portofino at this time of the year. Unlike Lordship Lane.

Alright, whoever you are! Don't make it worse.

Portofino. Yes, it sounds lovely. But can you get one of those amazing Margaritas they serve in Cafe El Passo that look like they've been coloured with Toilet Duck?

Anyway, Ang looks like she's having a RUBBISH time

The Bishop IS excellent - but I love the prawn toast at The Rye! you're right about the slightly annoying "no kids after 6 rule" though.....I went in there on Friday without Mackenzie and had to reassure two different staff members that I was not hiding my child under the table in order to fox them. Not that I take my child into pubs that often......clearly!

Yes, Nunhead Mum of One - not so much takes sweet McKenzie into the pub, as forgets she brought him and then leaves him behind. I'll tell grandma if you do it again dear heart!
