'I tried a garden centre Christmas roast and even my gran was impressed'
"I won't be able to eat all of that", gasped my gran as her roast dinner was placed down in front of her. Eyes wide and fidgeting in her seat, she tentatively took her fork to the slices of turkey to check there were no more bits of stuffing sneakily hidden underneath.
Fortunately, we arrived ahead of the Sunday lunch rush and were seen to a table fairly quickly. It was a little cold - there was definitely a draft, which explains why my gran didn't take her coat off at any point during the meal. Remarkably, no gravy spillages in sight. My mum was "being good" ahead of the inevitable Christmas gorge that we all indulge in, so went for the smoked haddock fishcake with new potatoes and salad. It was never going to set the world alight, but I was informed the fish was moist, the cake element crispy, and the potatoes perfectly boiled, which is all we can ask for.
The perfectly crisp parsnips and stuffing shone through, while the pig in blanket was a close runner-up according to my gran. However, the mound of brussel sprouts still being shifted around the plates towards the end of the meal was telling.
