Tipsy Turtle - Review
Toad In The Hole Goes Large
This was what I ordered: Giant Yorkshire Pudding with Three Cumberland Sausages, Vegetables, Mash and Gravy.
Yes, I know I said I pined for a Cornish Pasty, but I bottled out, and went for this instead. You see, I have high expectations when it comes to pasties, and there is nothing worse than being let down by a sub-par meat treat. Before I run the risk of pasty disappointment, I thought I should try something a bit less significant. By which I mean, I could handle a duff yorkie better than a duff pasty.
It tastes as nice as it looks, especially when I had poured gravy over it. Unusually, I was actually given a gravy boat with a decent amount of gravy in it. A lot of places seem to think you only need a thimble-full, but I like to baptise my sossies good and proper. I cannot tell you what the cauliflower was like, because as far as I am concerned, cauliflower is food of the Devil. I cannot abide it at all. Fortunately Alex loves it so I was able to offload it easily enough. It's the small things like this that make a Marriage.
Scampi And Chips
Alex opted for the Scampi, and said it was delicious. As you can see, you get proper Cyprus Chips here. Nothing beats them.
Sheftalia
Finally, our daughter opted for sheftalia. It didn't come with any salad but you can order one should you want some veg. The onion rings were nice, however!
Beaten
I couldn't eat all of mine, and had to leave some of the potato. And a pea.
Menu and Verdict
This is the full menu, though they also do specials such as Full English Breakfast etc. We enjoyed our food. It wasn't to the standard of what you would get at, say, Muse, for instance. However, a meal for three, including three drinks, came to less than 40 euros, so it is at least 50% cheaper. There are other places to eat along this stretch of road, and you should visit them all if you can. But you certainly won't be disappointed with the food should you choose Tipsy Turtle, and you will be pleasantly surprised at the price. And next time, I shall definitely have a pasty.
