haha, thanks for the top tip there ewaf2205 but venue already decided. Off to the Coppa Dollar in Ipplepen, good pies apparently. Worryingly close to a garden centre though.....

Good choice excellent food there. Sorry to hear about the trip to Fermoys though! Have a great day

Well, Coppa Dolla doesn't open at lunchtimes during the week so ended up going to the Elizabethan Inn in Luton Nr Newton Abbot; absolutely marvellous food, highly recommended. 

Unfortunately Fermoys was still open though

Good choice used to be a favourite of the family. Sorry to hear about Fermoys but it's better than a trip to Trago!

We might be sad hunting down train pictures with appropriate numbers but we're a long way behind this man, who has visited every railway station in Britain and taken a picture of a train at every one.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36196948

Absolutely, Trago's is the stuff of nightmares; should make it UKIP HQ
