Dr Gloom 21915 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 @Alex I’m back at Ambleside for a few days. Have you got any good restaurant/pub recommendations in the area? Something with decent veggie/vegan options. We’ve been to a few cool places already but somewhere we could stumble in without a reservation would be good - as well as somewhere with some higher end food (though we would probably avoid anything too stuffy where our noisy kids wouldn’t be appreciated) We’re just back from a week in Tuscany so we’ve had our full of pizza and pasta - I clocked a Japanese and a Thai in Ambleside town. Do you know if either of those are with bothering with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if either of those are with bothering with? So there are a lot of options. But Zeferrelli’s and Fellini’s (both cinemas and veggie restaurants combined, ran by the same people) are more of a Mediterranean/Italian theme. But check out their menus as Fellini’s in particular changes / is seasonal. The two Thai restaurants I have been to in Ambleside are good and have good veggie options. Jintana and Doi Intanon. My disclaimer would be that although I’ve been to the lakes a fair bit in that time, I don’t think I’ve been to Ambleside for about 4 or 5 years. Having said that, while the cafes and restaurants chop and change a lot those are ‘Ambleside institutions’ that have been there for decades Edited August 20 by Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if either of those are with bothering with? If you are out for a drive, (8 miles) this place is lovely. Has Vegan and veggie options, eat inside or out and even has a little play area out the back for the kids.

Doi Intanon I went to a few week back, I've been there at least a dozen times now, always great. The two veggie ones are great too. Again, been there recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not read the Gruffalo in Scots to your kids when they were bairns? "A moose took a dauner through the deep, mirk widd. A tod saw the moose and the moose looked guid...." It's the best version of the book imo. Think it's probably more doric than gaelic influenced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21614 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Not sure if you're allowed to eat pizzas from Tuscany, bit of a grey area. Will need to check with the accountant @Gemmill. Be a while 'til we know though, it's past horlicks time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21614 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 So holiday update. Not seen any football tops worn by adults of any persuasion. No gravy stained mag bag bastards or fans of massive lads to be seen. Some locals in mallorca,. Real, or Barca tops only, and some German teams. However, D2 has made friends with a lass and talked to her parents. They're from Seaham. Got chatting and they're off to watch the match tonight. In support of NUFC. FUCKING COUNTY DURHAM MAGS!!!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, most of you Who's the carrier? Just I flew to Cuba with Virgin once and less than 2 hours out of Gatwick, and only a "free" drink in, they shut the bar cos apparently a bunch of Scots weedgie cunts had drank the bar dry. On a fucking 747. They then all switched to duty frees getting more obnoxious every hour. Cunts. I'd have rather paid than faced a dry flight with pissed up Glasgie neds. Good luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
