“This week we decided to look at a small family-run

restaurant in the village of Wardleton. ‘The Old Mill’ is

newly opened and overlooks the River Wardle, and we

had heard several favourable comments about it. Because we had been advised to book early, we managed to

get a nice table with a view of the quay. We were made

very welcome and the service was excellent because it is

a small family business. The proprietor, Jeff Dean, runs

the kitchen himself and his wife, Nelly, showed us to

our table.

Although the choice of items on the menu was

very extensive, it was rather traditional. A long menu

always worries me, because a large menu often means

a large freezer! We started with Wardle Trout and although it was fresh, it was spoilt by the number of herbs.

For my main course I chose the pepper steak, which was

the speciality of the day. I thought it was almost perfect

because the chef had chosen excellent meat and it was

cooked just long enough.

My wife ordered the roast lamb, and although the

quality of the meat was good, she thought it was a little

underdone. Though the vegetables were fresh, they came

in very small portions and were rather over-cooked for

our taste. However, the bread was fresh because it had

been baked on the premises. I have often complained

in this column about the difficulty of finding any restaurant which serves a fresh fruit salad. Luckily, this one

did. Even though it must have been very time-consuming

to prepare, it was a delight to see, and I had a second

helping.

As usual I chose house wine, as this is often the best

way to judge a restaurant’s wine list. It was a French-bottled table wine which was quite satisfactory and reasonably priced. The bill, including coffee and brandy, came

to £37, which was acceptable for the class of restaurant,

although that did not include service.”

The world’s two biggest burger chains, McDonald’s

and Burger King, are planning big expansions in UK

to supply what they believe is the nation’s increasing

appetite for fast food.

McDonald’s intends to open 100 restaurants each

year, to add to the 830 it has at present. Its big rival,

Burger King, which has 455 restaurants, is to open 55

new outlets this year.

Tim Lang, Professor of Food Policy at Thames Uni versity, declared himself an opponent. “I would be

congratulating the companies if they were moving into

selling fruit and vegetables, but selling more burgers is

hardly the sort of advance that the British diet needs”

he said.

Professor Lang believes that American fast food

wave has changed our eating habits. They have had fish

and chips, Cornish pasties and sandwiches for a long

time, but the difference is that the burger chains set up

in prime High Street spots to tempt us in.

“We can’t say people aren’t enjoying it. They are

buying it and eating it. But does this represent a wholesome healthy food culture? My honest opinion is no.”

The answer, says Professor Lang is to get the British

back into their kitchens by teaching children to cook.

Children used to learn to cook either at home

around the age of 6 to 8 or at school between 12 and 15.

Now they miss the second chance and are subject to the

“burgerization” attitude of “why bother to cook when

you can nip out and get a burger or a pizza?”

Food analyst Umesh Raichads said about the

McDonald’s and Burger King plans that: “There is

definitely room for this massive expansion. People are

eating out much more than they used to. These chains

are having to expand now to keep out the competition

from pizzas and other ethnic foods. They are hoping

to eat over stomach share and they want to win before

anyone does.” The Guardian
