Area 33 – Sunday Lunch - The Maybush, Waldringfield
|
|
|
As predicted, Sunday
turned out to be another fine sunny day with the rain clouds
drifting northward; did the weather men get it right or was it
just chance?
It was great to see Alan & Margaret and Keith & Pam in E type roadsters also back from numerous vacations (!) were Reg & Ronnie plus Bernie & Tina and Eric & Linda all in XK’s and Terry & Caroline in their XJ.

The Maybush had
managed to arrange our table for twelve which was just as well
as the whole place, including outside tables, were all occupied
by 12.30; in fact one customer tried to enter through the locked
windows behind Margaret to sit at our table! I think Bernie was
prepared to poke him in the eye following his previous
demonstrations to us! The menu and our selections are just too large to include here with seafood, steaks, veggie options and daily specials to tempt us. Most of us made the mistake of ordering starters and main courses; we shouldn’t have as the plates are at least 15ins diameter and “fully loaded”. |

| Tina needed guidance on eating etiquette trying to eat soup with a fork; Eric & Bernie said the proppa way was to use the knife whilst Margaret got the waitress all hot and bothered by rejecting two fish & chip lunches until her correct order of Shingle Street Cod arrived. I understand Alan later redressed his ordering error by offering to take her to Harrods for Dinner later in the month! Of course, some of us had cholesterol rich puds to finish, with “Three Pud” Terry having B&B pudding with custard and cream! |

After lunch
we removed to the terrace where Keith, back from the
Med., gave us his experiences on sailing whilst Reg,
back from Florida, wondered how many mahi-mahis could be
caught in the river Deben. Coffee followed as we
savoured the very pleasant atmosphere, sun, surroundings
and company. |
