Afternoons off work – instead of fighting with commuters and lunchtime rushes you can eat when you want and mingle with Mother’s and pushchairs as well as the early bird special crowd. Still it is all very civilized I popped over to Beckworth Emporium for some pre-Christmas entertainment and food.
The dining room is actually like a massive conservatory – called the Garden Room. Somehow they manage to keep it nice and warm; luckily it was a really sunny day. Not sure what it would be like in the cold grey rain. The menu has plenty of exciting things on, but we all went for the Panini’s. Me? Pulled Pork of course. What else?

Served with homemade coleslaw and fries it was divine. Large glass o Sauvignon Blanc was the right accompaniment and the way to take us through into the Christmas shop. In here it was filled with decorations, gifts and delicious looking food.

I also had a little go on a reindeer. Unfortunately the ice skating was closed (boo) so that had to be foregone in favour of going home and sitting by the fire. It’s a tough job...
