jazzy_daveToday GC and I went to Horsham for a mystery shop at La Strada restaurant. She had a £50 spend limit on this hence a max of £25 per head. We arrived at the restaurant at just after 12pm, and it was lucky that we arrived early, as the place soon filled up.
We had a starter and a main course with drinks flowing quite freely. Also had a bowl of Italian olives to cleanse the palette and some aglio (baket of homemeade garlic and rosemary bread).
My starter was a delicious Insalata di Spinaci (baby spinach leaves,sliced avocado,smoked pancette bacon and Parmesan shavings tossed in a mustard dressing).GC had Caprese (inported mozzarella made from fresh buffalo milk and served with vine ripened tomatoes,fresh basil leaves and extra virgin olive oil).
The main course was chicken for her and a pasta dish for me. She had Pollo Romana (pan fried chicken breast wrapped in sage prosciutto served with garlic and thyme gratin potatoes and green beans,with a butter and white wine sauce). I had Regatoni,Speck E Gorgonzola (regatoni pasta tubes with a traditional northern Italian smoked mountain ham,Gorgonzola,rocket Parmesan and cream sauce).
She had soft drinks as she was driving but i had two bottles of Italian beer and topped off with a sparkling pink wine spritzer. We aslo had coffee each.
Gorgious yummy food and a great meal with excelent service.
Helped GC select her new mobile phone upgrade and then i had to dash to Horsham station to get a train to Crawley to do this NHS bus survey. Called the designated taxi company to get me from the station at Crrawley to the hospital.
