I remember that this was a really splendid meal at Dabbous – one of the very best restaurant meals we’ve had.
(Coincidentally, writing in November 2017, as John and I had a cracking good meal just the other day, at La Chapelle.)
It was a busy time. John was in the process of changing jobs (I think he’d handed in his notice to the Timber Trade that week).
Also, we had both been busy sending notes to Keele about our interactions with Neil Baldwin, ahead of the making of the film Marvellous.
Anyway, Dabbous was quite simply superb. Modern European with a sort-of middle-eastern twist of ingredients. Here is a link to a search term that should find you reviews if you want them.
John had chosen the place (well done him) so I had to deal with the damage; it was well worth it.
I wonder whether John can remember what we ate. I remember describing the meal in detail to Janie afterwards and all of us (including Mandy) agreeing that it would be a good place to try together, but we didn’t get round to that. Nor can I remember now what I ate.
But that evening and meal at Dabbous was marvellous…tremendous even.
