Or should I say at The Bistro, The Coach House, Ford Park, Ulverston.
We had, what I consider to be, the best meal of my life at this new restaurant last Friday when it was a French Food night.
I have mixed feelings about recommending it as this could lead to it being packed and needing to book months ahead when I want to go again . . . . .
Worth travelling here from Lancaster puts most of your restaurants to shame - we've been to several. The prices will amaze you for the quality.
The next themed evenings are on Friday and Saturday 3rd and 4th May - Spanish with live Flamenco music - £18.50. Wow.

Hugh of Riverside cottage - who battled with TESCO over chicken farms
Hugh's taken his anti-discard Fish Fight to Brussels . . .
He reports :
"For the past few months, I have been travelling around the UK meeting fishermen, marine conservationists, politicians, supermarkets bosses, and of course fish-eating members of the public.
You can find out all about my experience, and how it has changed the way I think about fish, in the Channel 4 series, Hugh’s Fish Fight, to be broadcast in January 2011."

It's worth comparing how Tesco compare with the Coop when you look at the fish in their stores

Forward thinking in farming and food production.
Let's stop behaving like Ostriches.
We could be taking care of our own future more.
Many of us have the arrogant belief that humans can survive through any conditions.
It's not true.
Our finances are a mess.
Global warming is accelerating.
And now another potential disaster is catching us up.
Every thinking person will realise that we are running out of oil.
In the 1960s, I worked for Shell in California, on the recovery of paraffins from oil and the removal of sulphur from refinery gases.
Even then we only had 10 years of oil in reserve.
We are now having to scrape the bottom of the world's barrel by recovering oil from tar sands - a process that they were then developing in the lab next door.
Nuclear energy will also soon dry up because of the limited sources of Uranium.
In the next few years we will come to the very end of the oil and food production, which heavily depends on it, will suffer.
Food will become scarce and very expensive.
We need to grow more ourselves in our allotments and gardens.
Our farms need to use very new farming techniques that require little oil.
A brilliant program that introduces some really creative thinkers in the farming world together some superb photography.
I enjoyed every minute of this 48 minute program that points out that we need to focus on growing our own food NOW - using our gardens and allotments to the full.
Zoe Williams also wrote an article - Can we dig our way out of the recession? - in which she says:
"The recession isn't as bad as a war, but we're heading for an environmental apocalypse anyway, in which the ability to grow your own carrots is going to be really pretty crucial. McLaughlin did not actually say that. I just inferred it."
Coming next - the way some of our Ulverston allotments are misused and some of our councillors are very much to blame.
