On a surprisingly sunny day, (for Britain) me and my buddy Laura decided to have a bite to eat at Lockstone, seeing as it looked like a semi decent place to eat in Long Eaton. We wandered in and had a snoop around and it all looked pretty good, nice lighting and seating and OHYES Costa Coffee! I was sold and ushered her to a booth to have a look at the menu.
Pretty good pub lunch stuff, the usual burgers and fish and chips, jacket potatoes and salads. But me and my carnivore friend were set on steak. So I wandered up to the bar to order food and get us some drinks, of course I get ID'd, what with looking 15 and having pink hair (And being about 5ft...). But I'm overjoyed as they have one of my favourite drinks ever.
Brothers Toffee Apple Cider.
I bloody love this stuff. I can't stand normal apple cider but this stuff is great, it actually tastes like toffee apples! Nice and sweet and really refreshing with ice in a glass. I got Laura a Kopparberg Pear cider which is equally as lovely, but I find it a little sickly after half a bottle.
But back to the food. We settle ourselves down and after a short while the waiter brings our food over, but there's a problem.
"I don't know which is the rare one and which is the medium one..." Uh, okay. So I say it's no problem, we'll figure it out when we start eating. Then he hands us our cutlery and they only have one steak knife.
One steak knife. Really?
Well, it looked pretty good. And it tasted good too, though BOTH steaks were medium in the end. The onion rings were the best part of the meal though, nice and crunchy :D We both tossed aside the tomato and tucked in and we enjoyed it. Laura finished hers first (because she's a hungry beast) and the waiter pounced on us. When he asked if we were finished and Laura said yes, when I say "No, I'm still eating" it's not a cue to take both our plates and leave me mid chew with a knife and fork in my hand, staring at you blankly as you steal my food.
