Lovely birthday lunch in the Botanical Rooms at the incredibly restored Newt. Had heard much of the place, was gently scared of who might be attracted to somewhere where so much cash had been so obviously spaffed at its renovation. Should not have feared. At all. Not only were the other guests entirely normal (families, couples) but in the entire visit there was only one buffoon wanging on his mobile about acceptable rates of return while wearing presumably horrifically-expensive tramp-chic trackie bottoms... and he was only in the porch. Possible due to discreetly forceful staffing. I have no idea (but one can dream, eh ?). Food was superb. Actually, perfectly sized for lunch - beautiful mushrooms, perfectly cooked fish, cleverly presented carrot with flank steak. Clearly, an expert was toiling away. Service was genuinely superb - even down to the recommending of a South African non-alcoholic drink called something like SpamWhacker or BritHitter or something. Brilliant stuff. Anyway, well done, thank you, delicious. Great wines, too. Tip: if you have lunch there, you can get over to the Roman Villa that they've painstakingly reconstructed. It really is quite something. It really is.
