After Julies big win on the local village lottery draw, it was a special meal out at the Dew Pond, Burghclere. We hadn’t been for a while (well over a year) and with mixed interim reports, weren’t so sure.

We, we needn’t have worried. The restaurant was full so had a great atmosphere, the service was excellent slightly understated for a fancy restaurant, but it better that way.

A table d’hote type menu with 5-6 choice for each for 3 courses for £35. I had scallops and choritzo starter with a fillet steak main. Julie had the Sea Bream

All beautifully cooked and tasting great!. I had the tasting selection of sweets, Julie had the chocolate thingy.

A really nice evening!
