The Angel, Stoke by Nayland

Well, after brunch, we had to eat again, and I had been stupid and not booked a table for lunch, so instead we went to the Angel at Stoke by Nayland for dinner which I did manage to get round to booking.  And we loved it.  When we arrived, on our table there were two kids menu's in the seats that we would have sat the children, and there were pencils and little colouring and word search books for them.  The service was excellent and the food brilliant.  A truly enjoyable meal and one which my wife really deserved.

Mimosa Colchester

Quick post on this.  Took the family to Mimosa this morning, or rather, the kids took the wife for Mothers Day for Brunch.  While there we had the pleasure of being served at first by the 'main man' who is from Mauritius which we found out when the kids spoke a bit of French to him (they used to go to after school classes to learn this, but sadly no more).  Now he was great when it came to service.  Unfortunately we were not served by him all the time but instead we were served by the person who dealt with us the last time we were there.  To be fair, this waiter was better than he was before, but he does not reflect how good the restaurant should be portrayed.  Which really is a shame for Mimosa.  We will return though...
