Talbot's House

On the last Thursday before the end of the half term, the tutor group went out in to town in order to celebrate what had been a hard half term's work coming to a close. The restaurant of choice was the Riverside Grill, which was narrowly more popular than Nando's when put to a vote. Personally, I am very glad we went to the Riverside Grill. It was a meat feast for the boys, everyone tried their very best to take down as much meat as they could. This was typified, I feel, by the Holroyd boys' platter, the platter's sheer size and variety proved a suitable challenge for the ravenous teenage hunger-pans. Naturally, as was the case with more or less all of the plates of food served to the group, the teenage hunger-pans outweighed the food, however the food went down fighting. In what can only be described as an absolute shocker (to quote Karan), a blunder occurred amongst the boys and a glass dropped from the table, the food no doubt preoccupying their minds and concentration momentarily lapsing. It gave a sharp edge to an otherwise amicable night, thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Nando's may be our next destination; we might not be allowed back to the Riverside Grill having eaten all their food and smashed their glasses!
