Review: The High Road Bistro (Part 2) – Main courses

I must say the first thing I thought about when I realised there would be seven of us dining was the food photo opportunities! I promised everyone that I would take the photos of their food very quickly, and so they were happy to cooperate. So let’s begin. K’s mum ordered one of the daily […]
