Bebop Spoken There

Tasty Tailgate at The Millstone


It's one of the coldest weeks of the winter, but here's just a few of the dishes being served at The Millstone tomorrow afternoon that'll bring a warm glow to your cheeks:
Full Monty All-day Breakfast £4.95 They say this is the most important meal of the day and it doesn't get much better than this: 2 Pork Sausages, 2 rashers of Best Bacon, 2 Fried Eggs, Baked Beans, Grilled Tomato and the Chef's Hand-cut Home-fried Chips - better than the Chippy! or 
Millstone Minted Lamb Pie £6.95 Local Lamb cooked with Sweet Carrots in a Red Wine Gravy and traditionally flavoured with a zingy Mint Sauce - it's Sunday Dinner in a pie! Served with Chef's Hand-cut Chips and Garden Peas or 
Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni (v) £5.75  Ricotta Cannelloni in a Spinach & Goats Cheese Sauce topped with Melted Cheese and served with 2 Slices of Garlic Bread and Hand-cut Chips plus at 1.00pm 
The Vieux Carré Jazzmen £Free with our special guest (all the way from sunny California) ace trombonist, Brian Richardson. See you there, Brian Bennett.
