Sounds like heaven to me, wish there was one near me 
The nearest one to me will be in Bath, I may have to take a trip there sometime to try it out! ;-)

Just took a look at that link Mags and Wales has been missed out completely! 
Oh well, less temptation for me. ;-)
Fancy that, having their own website, yes our cafe today is just like the ones on there. OK then Mags, Bath it is and I hope you enjoy it as much I did today.
thats sounds wonderful maryl 
I looked on the web site too…I am drooling 
Don’t fancy my boiled egg tea now.
we had fish and chis tonight from the chippy not home made
i have to say it was very nice
Today we had roast lamb ,potatoes, carrot and swede mash ,broccoli ,gravy and mint sauce followed by apple pie and custard .
That would be the meal I would choose if I had to choose a last meal I think.
Him who must be obeyed and I are on diets. We are like the couple who together ate their platters clean.
He is doing Atkins and I am low fat.
He had an enormous steak and I had tinned spaghetti on dry toast.
I don’t need a partner to help clean my plate - I can do that all by my lonesome!!!
We had roasted chicken thighs which had a hot and spicy marinade, mushrooms stuffed with a mediterranean couscous, followed by a fresh fruit salad.
we had salmon salad with a side bowl of new potato
Yesterday Mr Atkins diet had chicken salad on a bed of romaine lettuce and I had a nice bowl of pasta no sauce but lots of veggies and fish.
Finally feel strong enough to be able to stand at the work surface and prepare and cook my own meal today. Defrosted a chicken breast earlier this morning, will chop into bite sized pieces, and fry with an onion and some garlic and make either an Indian curry or Chinese stir-fry - unsure yet which it will be - but it will be a lot bigger than Wiltshire Farm Foods have been offering me.
For this evenings meal I will be cooking a cottage pie and cabbage for the family but I will be having fish.
I made it!!! - was finally strong enough to stand in my kitchen and prepare the veg and chop a chicken breast into bite sized pieces and make myself a curry - Oh was that delicious and more than Wiltshire Farm foods meals.
There you go then Uncle Joe. No stopping you now? Just a simple thing thing like cooking your own lunch must have boosted you up no end.
As good as those meals are for a time…I had a sneaky suspicion that they would not be big enough for you UJ…my mum had them for a time, noway would they fill hubby up.
Pleased for you too.
We had grilled mackerel, carrot/swede mash and new pots.
That was at lunch time and hubby has been asking what’s for tea for ages :shock:

Absolutely Mary darlin’ - had a friend call on me the other day - she said I had lost weight - that will NEVER do - have to preserve my corporation!!!
As you rightly observe - there’s no stopping me now - got to make up for all food I’ve missed over the past 3 weeks.
This evening it will be potato and leek mash with pork and leek sausages and cauliflower cheese.
