This was the second of our new Sunday

                                                                                     Lunch venues for 2007 and is from the Spice

                                                                                     Group which includes the previously enjoyed

                                                                                     Cricketers Arms at Rickling Green.

                                                                                     Due to really atrocious weather only a hardy

                                                                                     few braved the elements to journey to the

                                                                                     Cambridge borders for a meal at The Fox in

                                                                                     the delightfully sounding village of Little

                                                                                     Wratting (no connection, evidently, to the

                                                                                     past-time of rodent control officers).

 

                                                                                    

                                                                      The good people at the Fox had a major event on that

                                                                      evening but were quite happy to open their restaurant

                                                                      to us for an outstanding meal which eschewed the

                                                                      normal Sunday roast in favour of more subtle culinary

                                                                      delights – the Mulligatawny soup and the Chicken

                                                                      Caesar salad topped with a soft boiled egg were both

                                                                      a hit as was the Hand Raised Cheese and Onion pie to

                                                                      follow!

                                                                      As is customary with our Sunday lunches one can never

                                                                      leave without sampling the desserts which this time

                                                                      included a Michelin quality Crème Brulee and Sailor

                                                                      Jerry Rum Chocolate mousse!

The quality of each course was superb and the restaurant Manager, Ross, had included wine in the menu enabling us to sit back and enjoy!

I certainly believe we will be adding this venue to our Sunday Lunch list for 2008.

                                                                   

                                                                    It was great to have Alan and Margaret back with us for

                                                                    lunch again, good to see you both.

 

                                                                    Congratulations also to Jim Osborne who made the

                                                                    journey in his Series III XJ6; along with Eric in his XKR

                                                                    they were the only Area members to prise there pride

                                                                    and joys out of the garages in such dreadful weather for

                                                                    the trip.

 

 

 

Due to the excellent fare we had feasted for nearly four hours and the fact that the heavens were still in full flood the visit to Melford Hall for afternoon tea was unanimously cancelled.

 

It finally required a dash across the car park through the still inclement weather to our steeds and journey home.

 

Until the next time.
