Our night out in the veggie pub

Last week, we ( charity shop thursday team) went out to our little christmas do in the suffolk veggie gastro pub. I went there twice before, and thought foods were alright. ( hard to please a chef....) Good thing about menu in the place like that is I can eat anything on the menu. No meat, no fish!!! But they use cheese, wheat, gluten products and sugar. Never mind. I don't eat out often, so, once in a while is allowed! And I enjoyed my dessert... selection of sorbet! I do love lemon sorbet. Last restaurant I used to work, my pastry chef loved her lemon sorbet, so we used to make it really lemoney and sweet. It was the best lemon sorbert. I kind of miss sometimes, making own ice creams and sorbets. Defo this year, I'd like to make my own. Vegan icecreams and sugarfree sorbet etc. I got a ice cream machine, Marcus has very good blender. I've got an idea in my head I want to experliment. Wow, even just thinking about it, I get excited. I do love messing round with foods to create something yummy. Last week I made tofu again, but this time I mixed lemon pepper and greek dried oregano into my tofu mixture and let it set. It was perferct with salad or even broth. 

Anyway, go back to the veggie pub night out, this is our Thursday crew.

And this is what I had for my main.

It's chestnut pudding in veg suet paste. It was quite nice to start off with , but about half way though I got bord eating it. I love chestnuts, but the filling inside was too rich for me. I think it was cooked and reduced, very syrupy consistancy inside. I left pastly too. It was too filling.  To be honest, the meal was far nicer than one I had when I went out with my other work. I had selection of sorbet for my dessert, and it was yummy. This is Marggie and her dessert( she had a cheese cake)

And this is Pouline and Sylvia.

 Looks like we had loads of empty drinks, they are soft drinks mainly though. I only drink soft drinks. So as these ladies. They don't drink much(virtually none to me). Oh, sorbets in glass coupe is my dessert. I asked for vegan option. And this was what I got. Basically, without chocolate basket. 

 We all enjoyed our night out. When we went out side after our meal, Jupitor was shining and Olion and Seven stars were smiling at us. We decided we'd like to go there again in summer.
