As General Election 2024 called here’s candidates for Preston and surrounding seatsPreston City Council local elections 2024: Updates, results and reactionThis week my partner and I decided to visit the Ribble Valley for a couple of nights and have a meal out for our anniversary. We stayed in Ribchester and were spoiled for choice for places to eat out, but we decided to go to Fell Bistro in
The inside was decorated in the generic pub/restaurant style of greys, beiges, checked carpets and wooden, rustic furniture. The tables and chairs were a little beaten up, table tops were sticky and the carpet had a few stains but whilst that was slightly off-putting it can be the case with many independent venues since the costs of food and fuel skyrocketed, leaving little left over for cosmetic improvements.
I would have chosen “From The Garden” which consisted of “Baked Camembert, hummus, mixed olivers, onion bhaji, cherry vine tomato, garlic crostini, mixed salad, Halloumi fries, winter chowder, garlic aioli & warm flatbread.” I’d never had a Camembert from a garden, but I’m definitely sourcing some seeds and planting a harvest of them in mine next year. The Mixed Olivers also sounded intriguing, though perhaps not for an Anniversary celebration.
Things started to look up as it was a decent slab of tasty gammon topped with a runny egg. The accompanying chips were also excellent; crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. A success for my partner once he’d removed the thick edge of fat from the meat and hid it from his sight under a fold of garlic bread.I had the “Cheese and Onion pie: Extra mature cheddar cheese cooked with onions & mustard encased in puff pastry. Served with chunky chips & baked beans” for £13.95.
Our overwhelming impression from the staff was that we were intruding on their evening and that the sooner we were gone the better. We felt too uncomfortable to stay for a dessert, so we paid the bill and left.
