    Well, Friday night was 'OK' we headed off to the Northern Quarter but everywhere was very quiet.

    Went into 'Old Orleans' in the Printworks and there was 4 people in the bar!
    We went in a few places around there but it was all pretty much the same so we headed back down towards the hotel at about 11:30, to find a club around Picadilly Gardens, but everwhere was closing. I spoke to a couple of bouncers and they all said the same, that everwhere was dead because people were saving their money to come out and watch the Rugby on Saturday, and that the only place that was likeley to be busy was the gay district.

    We had a wander through it but didn't venture in anywhere.....


    Saturday night was loads busier, however we left it too late and Goucho's was fully booked, so we headed down to the deansgate locks to get something cheep and chearful to eat down there.

    Had a good night but we missed out on the quiet meal so tonight we are heading over here...

    It is very nice. It's in Norden, which is just outside between the town and the countryside.

    Won some award last year or so for best restaurant in Lancashire.

    went there last month.. it was fantastic. 15 courses, all of them with the 3 fork full sized diddy portions, left feeling VERY full. Best by far was the rissotto soup.. highly recommended, very swish but homely.

    Maybe the cheese is saying "don't know what it is about that Geordie, but she's stalking me!"

    Have you tried Canestan?

    And if you fancy waiting for the broken down one in front to be moved. No ta.

    I'd definitely drive there though.

    There is no doubting that Michelin-starred Juniper is a serious gastronomic restaurant…..its chef, Paul Kitching, is on more than nodding terms with genius” Jay Rayner, The Observer

    “Paul is pure talent, driven by a great creative energy; a powerhouse of the North ” Gordon Ramsay

    “This is truly wonderful cooking, more exciting, stimulating and pleasurable than almost any other in the country” Matthew Fort, The Guardian
