Sticky Toffee Sponge
Julie and I decided to make some pudding tonight for shits and giggles and had a good leaf through a recipe book and decided upon the sticky toffee sponge/pudding and OMFG is it one of the best puddings I've ever tasted. If you like the pudding and want to make it yourself I recommend the recipe after the break. This is how it turned out in the end!
It's also one of the easiest recipes to make too. It actually turned out like what it was supposed to unlike some of the moderate disasters we've had so far and only took an hour and a half unlike the dulce de leche recipe that took 3+ hours and looked like a whole pile of crap...

Hay’s Dock Café Restaurant
I had the pleasure of having lunch at the titular restaurant which is situated upstairs within the new museum on Tuesday with the girlfriend. After a bad start of being told to come back because it was packed full inside and with people loitering about outside waiting we decided to run some errands and come back again half an hour later whereupon we were welcomed in with open arms and apologies given by the woman who had turned us away earlier.
She had the locally caught fishcakes, which were of the smoked variety and I had the "sassermaet brunnie" (spicy sausage meat) which all in all was a glorified burger in a ciabatta roll with a sauce of some description and sliced tomatoes upon it. Mine came with salad and coleslaw and hers with a homemade tartar sauce and a superabundance of salad (neither of which she likes heh). We both had the potato wedges as a side (which were really chunky).
Afterwards we both had the bread and butter pudding which was a huge chunk of a thing. Quite an eggy taste and ultimately too sickly to finish but it was excellent nonetheless.
The price for two came to £21 which isn't all too unreasonable for the amount of food.
Julie with her unfinished bread and butter pudding which ultimately proved too much for either of us.
