Restaurant: The Abbey Tavern

Yeah, yeah, I know - we go to the Abbey Tavern a lot, and I've reviewed it a few times.

Well, notable about today's visit - apart from the fact that all the serving staff seemed to have had their hair done and were looking lovely - was the "sheppard's" (sic) pie special. When I have shepherd's pie, it tends to be the ready-made version from the supermarket. This was far superior - tasty, wholesome, and you could actually taste how good it was for you. Yes, do go for this if it's on the specials board. A bit salty, mind, if that bothers you.

And so the countdown continues. Madama Butterfly tomorrow in the University Concert Hall - we'll probably eat in the Castletroy Park Hotel again (in the bar). Back to London on Sunday. Monday is James I: The Key Will Keep the Lock in the National - I might find out who that woman is that appears in the sequel, and in the promotional picture. Tuesday is The Marriage of Figaro in the Coliseum. Wednesday is Shakespeare: the Kings at Cadogan Hall. And Thursday is Necropolis: Journey of the Dead in the tunnels under Waterloo.

Still nothing definite for Hallowe'en..
