third critique night booked!

Book your babysitters quick because our third night of tasting sensations is booked on Saturday 1st May and the lucky winner is... Luigi's latest delight Spuntino, 12 Wharf Street

Did you know Spuntino means 'a quick bite' however I'm sure that won't be the case for us as we will take our time to enjoy some fine Mediterranean cuisine

Why not teach yourself some Italian phrases (see useful links on the left)

Beer & Tequila will be from 6.30pm at Flying Burrito Brothers, 107 Grey Street

Donna don't forget that brainteaser! And no cheating Nick!

Tom Yum - yum yum!

Communal toilets not good. Satay amazing. Service very accomodating.
Soup & Chicken Satay absolutely divine! Hot means HOT here!
Best spring rolls, melt in your mouth. Toilet way too samll. 'Medium' is very very HOT but delish! Wonderful service.

Women were dressed by Green Apple
