Treated ourselves!
That was my instinctive reaction to the newest restaurant to open in my hometown. I know of people who live in the far reaches of Lancashire who have travelled to our humble town to taste the food created by a culinary superstar and after reading about it in the latest edition of Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council's Shuttle magazine I've been dying to try it for myself.
Somewhat unfamiliar to the concept of tapas, Abigail was a bit confused and, although the very friendly waitress offered her a more typically kid-friendly meal, I was keen to broaden her horizons and insisted she try the tapas. As the likes of the Stone Roses, Oasis and the Stereophonics played from the speakers we tucked in as the dishes were brought out at intervals. The cheese in the bikini sandwiches was perfectly melted and stringy, as Abigail discovered by stretching out a lengthy piece, while the 'burgers' were a novel but incredibly delicious way of serving goats cheese.
Despite the economic downtown and cost of living crisis Darwen has witnessed something of a spree of new restaurants opening up and the town is quickly becoming the place to go for a meal as well as a night out.
