We’re a bit curmudgeonly about Christmas decorations appearing too early – as someone said, ‘There are 12 days of Christmas, and none of them are in November.’
It was Mike’s birthday…..we wanted to go out for lunch…..Sheila Fleet’s is brilliant
So we booked a table, went along, encountered festive delights and decorations and – liked it! We’d have to be real old grouches/Grinches not to.
The café is both cheery and cosy
The food was as good as ever, and my tea was served in a delight-full glass teapot
Then we took the winding stair to the upper gallery
which is full of good things
and looked down onto the Christmas tree and the original stained glass window of the church
The staff are friendly and helpful, chatting about what the weather was doing outside (!) and advising on dietary requirements, including providing a dairy-free menu. No feeling of being hurried, though they were quite busy.
It’s all…just…lovely!
