Tom Parker Bowles visited another institution, this one a survivor from 1964 – named after the alias used by the late Princess Margaret when eating among the plebs – that has risen from ashes following a fire last year.
“Better still, she hasn’t changed one bit,” Tom added, so the interior is still “slightly shabby”, the prawn cocktail still “distinctly average”. But on the credit sided, the shepherd’s pie is “excellent, with crisp topping and gloriously rich lamb filling”, sirloin steak is “very decent”, and “service is lovely”.
“What really matters is that Maggie Jones is still here, doing her thing. And for that, we should be eternally grateful.”
