I got 10% off for ordering a collection via the app. However, the estimated time was inaccurate and the order was also incorrect as the vegetable curry was not initially included as their print out didn’t show it (although I was charged for it). They did eventually provide a small pot of curry.
There was not much covid protection visible – no face coverings on staff despite a function and and other customers being eating in.
The food was very spicy (the Bombay Aloo was more of a chilli curry with a few bits of potato) but pleasant enough, although other places in the area taste nicer and have fewer problems with online orders.

This is a stage version of the Channel 4 comedy spoof about the royal family.
The main storyline is about the Queen abdication following Philp’s death, Camilla plotting to make Charles an absolute monarch after a typo is spotted in the Brexit agreement and Wills and Kate trying to save the nation.
There are subplots with Beatrice and Eugenie trying help redeem the reputations of Andy and Fergie, Harry & Meghan in LA and Edward, who plays many roles.
It is funny and silly and as long as you don’t take things too seriously it is very funny.
The theatre asked for proof of double vaccine or negative test on the door, had hand sanitizer stations dotted around but didn’t encourage mask wearing for the audience – most of who weren’t masked.
There were some technical sound issues at a couple of points, but overall it seemed to go ok.
The seat was only £12.50 & was back row of the stalls, but was on an aisle and good view.

This is part of a new “Beyond Meat” range of meat free pizzas. This had “Beyond Meat” Italian style sausage, mozzarella, peppers, mushrooms an onions.
It tasted nice but more vegetables would have been better.

Franco Manco – Veg Special 204
This had thinly sliced roast potatoes, Stilton cheese, mozzarella, a tiny bit of onions, lots of pesto and sun dried tomatoes.
It tasted reasonable once I escaped off most of the over powering pesto.

This was the last in the run of shows.
Tonight was a pre-school putting on a magic show (linked to Groan Ups and Magic Goes Wrong). It was set in the Scottish Highlands. It was called The Day Harry Got Cut In Half.
Social media asked for a rap song about apples, worst moonwalk and an Oscar cameo.
It had lots of characters, children who did magic through glitter wishes, they turned the headmistress into a pickle and then have to sort everything out.
