Can't even get Cartmel sticky toffee pudding there. WTAF?

Never fear, all the Cartmel sticky toffee pud you could ever handle is less than a minute’s walk away from L’Enclume, plus jars of the sauce.

I had a night at L’Enclume for my fortieth. Full tasting menu, wine matching, 40 year old brandy snifter, bed, breakfast. Everything was spot on, and so friendly, not even a little snotty. My first experience of being treated excellently as their standard. Wonderful. Did guest really go there? And learn nothing? About food or hospitality? Why am I even asking?

Because it is too scary to open the door tenderCpt. If you ever walked out of a nepo fire phone job you must tremble in the bay window enveloped in voluminous veils of voile until the postie fucks off. Unless ofc he has the make up palette you ordered, in which case his self preservation kicks in and he sets off at a sprint as you burst out of the door.

She didn’t go there Tenderstem, but even if she had the last 12 years have taught us that she is incapable of learning.

I think we should discuss the possibility that something (possibly the worst thing) might be cooking.

A week or so ago when guest was talking about some jacket or other and she said it wouldn't fit her for much longer because she was 'gloriously expanding'...

Now I don't know about anyone else, but the only time I would describe weight gain that way would be:

a) if I was underweight and needed to put on some pounds
b) if I was excited because... :oops:

Thank[space]you, tenderstem. What a relief. The idea that someone might plan, save and book and look forward to something so special to have a random sniffing narc at the next table honking that she already knows how to make all of that and does service that well too she’s cooked for Mary Portas don’t you know…

Nah, I think we should continue to ignore it and not engage with her breadcrumbing and tricksy wording.

She's using her weasel words again. 🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡 (Yes - I know those are badgers, but there wasn't a weasel and anyway all mustelids are interchangeable)
 
I know a couple of parents a right pair of twats they are, their kid is literally prevented from having any sort of fun and can only eat when theu deem suitable which fair enough in some regards but he misses out when their is parties and fun foods on offer. The child themelves it devoid of emotion and has damian like eyes. I heard through the grape vine the other day that baby number 2 is on the way. My heart sank! Thats exactly how i feel about guest having another one.

I know someone who (long before Covid) had their child at a friend’s birthday party and the kids weren’t allowed to blow out the candles on the cake because of germs. To be honest I’m on the fence as kids are full of germs but it was so over the top and I would rather have a geeky kid cake than something dirty guest has prepared with her stinking fingernails.
