Sun Do, Sevenoaks

This is a very nice Chinese restaurant that we have been back to several times following Trish's recommendation. Although we didn't go there tonight as part of the Ladybirds' lunches, we did go with Trish, her brother and his soon to be CP'd partner.

The food is good because it is very fresh and they have a policy of no monosodium glutamate. I recommend the thin vermicelli with tiger prawns and the prawn toasts as a starter are up at the top of the table of prawn toasts. The others had some tasty looking honey chicken with sesame seeds and some beef with green beans, it all looked lovely. The bill including wine and coffee (and tip) came to a reasonable £25 each.

Parking is a bit of a pain being a couple of blocks down, but hey, a five minute walk never killed anyone.

This was one of the best pubs where we've enjoyed a Sunday lunch. There were 18 of us and we had our own room with one long table, but Jan made sure we moved around so that everyone got the chance to talk to everyone else.

The food was excellent - gastro food at £15 for two courses or £17 for three. The crayfish and avocado followed by sea bass was absolutely delicious. I didn't think I had room for a third but the cheese plate sounded unusual and very tempting. These guys really know what they're doing in the kitchen and I'll certainly be back.
