Smudge01 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Ricgem2002, yep my grandad was a top gent, no one better. Unfortunately my nannan made me promise not tell anyone the recipe for cheese flan or any other recipe. She has just been asking me if she might know you? ---------- Post added 07-12-2013 at 18:52 ---------- Pigeon. Gotta say GG's was the best. but i am rather biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms-Shapes Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The lemon meringue pie was my favourite! ---------- Post added 11-12-2013 at 22:48 ---------- Also remember that when I walked in, with a couple of male friends, the man behind the till would say "no swearing chaps, there is a lady present" Seem to remember there being bikers and taxi drivers eating/ drinking there. I really enjoyed my late nights there - Good Food and a nice atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
