 But has the coke bottle exploded?

  Going off into left field.....if one was to dine at LG, what would you recommend as an introduction into Spanish cuisine.....not for me,  something not too spicy.

None of it's really too spicey. whatever's on as the special is normally good, unless it's lentals, they suck.

The standard stuff like the patatas (a bit spicy) and the vaireiety's of meatballs are pretty safe. The chorizo (cooked in red wine) is good aswell. Can't go wrong with a bit of tortilla.

Oh and the lemon chicken, that's sort of slightly the opposite of spicy I think. Haven't eaten any of  that for ages.

I better get back to work or I'm going to get in trouble with chef. Clearing up time now, the quicker I get it done the quicker I can get to the pub. Happy days.

Mmm.  drinking a nice bottle of Mahou beer. yummy.

I took Birdy there a few months ago Reg. My preferred tactic was to send a glass of champagne in to 'Ben in the kitchen' and then pick six random dishes from the menu. Only did meat type stuff though (not fish) and very nice it was too.

  Cheers mate....would sending a dead rat to Ben in the Kitchen work?

   My experience of tapas in Spain, is that you pick from a choice of what you see in front of you....so is it similar in LG, more of a snack thing than a sit down meal.

  Does FB play guitar, a la Manuel at the Fawlty gourmet evening?

I'd have reservations about the rat. You might find it coming back out and cooked up as one of the days specials!

Never had Tapas in Spain, but there's a nice place in Brighton I go to occasionally (Casa Don Carlos). Very nice food, small, lively and a great atmosphere.

Would you have asked for Ben or flammable or flammableBen?

or as Jodie calls him, "Ben with the hair".

We were gonna ask for "Ben the invincible" merely as he wasn't there when we went in!

You should have come in, must have been later, don't think it got busy until 8.30ish.

I tend to hide in the kitchen.

There's 3 people working in the kitchen tomorrow! That means...

a) I'll be demoted to pure washing up duties, with the occasional squid hacking thrown in.
b) I'll be able to sneak off and make another post like this!

Aren't you all pleased.

I seem to pick up some authority when my dad's not about. I might attempt to do his trick of giving up working at about 9pm to sit at the bar drinking and chatting to customers.

It seems like it's fun when you're stuck in the kithcen.

I can possibly sort you a bar job if you really want one. Would be part time though and you might want to move to Swindon.
