It’s a year since my Dad died.
It was in rather distressing circumstances, it must be said.
I hope you’re doing better wherever you are. Sam and I, plus other members of the family and your friends are thinking of you.
You are so missed by everyone who knew you.
Sam was quoted in yesterday’s Times.
It was a disappointing lunch yesterday.
I’d been told that Food in central Worthing is owned by the same people as the excellent Fish Factory, so was keen to give it a try. As it happens, having been to Food, I’m not so sure if it is.
The Fish Factory does very little apart from fish, and does it very well; from yesterday’s experience, Food takes a very mainstream modern menu and does it not very well. Not that we had very much to complain about, but the food was just so-so, in a restaurant that had all the ambience of a tyre bay just after going-home time.
When you order main courses of calves’ liver and duck breast salad, you have so many previous experiences of the same dishes to compare them to, and there were bound to be have been some better ones. So Sam’s rather overcooked liver and my slightly tasteless duck breast with a one-dimensional dressing and badly chosen salad were bound to struggle against our expectations and others’ high standards.
This kind of food isn’t difficult and must be really good if we’re going to return. It wasn’t, and I doubt if we will.
