You should try it.

You might enjoy the experience.

Apparently, in homage to Heston Blumenthal, they serve a green tea called 'Snot'.

I suspect that if their cuisine is as inventive as their restaurant name then it is a place I shall be avoiding.

Should be ok.

As long as this isn't piped in, and played on a loop.

Because if they answered the phone, and tried to say that in a Lancashire accent, the focaccia would be burning in the kitchen.

I still have the bill. All the guests got a menu and told to pick whatever they wanted and they all had a good feed and enjoyed it. It worked out at £1 (a quid) a head plus the cake and booze.

I have just remembered that the Coach and Horses was called "Ye Olde Brown Cow" when I had my reception there.

I wondered if you meant the Brown Cow, as I remember going there in the seventies, and they were dressed as ye olde worlde serving wenches.

It was great, a bit like Mrs. Miggin's Elizabethen pie shop, from Black Adder.
