Cup-a-soup

I went out for dinner last night with Mrs Editor to a recent arrival to the North Wales dining scene (I'll be no specific for now, to spare their blushes).
I started with a pint of bitter which tasted sour. After a reasonably long delay our first course arrived - the smallest bowl of mussels in history. Mind you, chef had put a little extra in my bowl - a nugget of broken crockery from the handle of a cup. And what did the waitress do when I showed it to her? She said "you're joking" grimaced and carried the offending article away. No apology, nothing.
Then, the main course arrrived.. rump steak a la powdery tasting peppercorn sauce avec champignons brulee (burnt mushrooms).
Rubbish food, rubbish service, night out ruined. A shameful waste of £50!
But everyone has a bad day so I'll be writing to them to advise that they are on a yellow card, that we will give them a few weeks to settle in and sort out teething troubles (without smashing my teeth on cup handles) and then one of the Daily Post's reviewers will be visiting to do a taste test.
They'd better buck their ideas up.
Let me know of crappy restaurants or pub dining you've experienced. It's time the slackers were named and shamed, North Wales's reputation for good food is at stake!
Anyway, tomorrow's edition - a major breaking story in North Wales after a man was found critically ill with massive injuries in the early hours of today in Llandudno.
In Monday's edition we are planning to have a special report on what North Wales police have done to help reduce the number of serious and fatal road accidents in our region - plus the latest on our campaign to save rural post offices and a report on the flooding crisis threatening the Conwy Valley.
Have a good weekend.
