Bodmin Jail

Dinner was great. On Wednesday we had tried the local pub, and whilst adequate it was hardly a fine-dining experience. We decided that tonight should be a more memorable. It was difficult to get a good recommendation for a meal that we fancied (Silver Vixen not being a great fan of Chinese or Indian food).

A little bit of surfing highlighted Bodmin Jail as a possibility and as it was close, we started there (with a Plan B if it didn't work out).

Well for a prison(*) it made a might fine restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the surroundings. The Gorse Fox started with some fine ribs (which will come as a huge surprise to those that know him). We both followed with lamb shanks which were accompanied with perfectly cooked vegetables. A nice bottle of wine formed the perfect accompaniment. Probably not quite fine dining, still. Several mighty leaps up the ladder from the previous night and certainly a place we'd return to for a further sentence.

(Oh yes, and Plan B wouldn't have worked either - they had closed down!)

(*) No it's not still operating as aprison, but used to be the County Gaol.
