Sunday Night - Steak Night

Image
Not usually your Sunday Roast, but seeing as our Favourite Steak restaurant had a deal on, and we had some vouchers ( Xmas pressie ) it was time to head off to  miller and carter Sunday night means the car park is free (always a bonus) then a short walk and we're greeted by I presume the Manager, who shows us to a table for 4 tucked nicely away.
