The Box Tree, Ilkley....

[mrs.chappie]

Anyone had a meal at this restaurant? I'm booked in for tomorrow night.

[craft1948]

Do you ever cook?

[DTCwordfan]

many, many years ago and it was very good back then......let us know how it is, mrs C

[Halifaxmum]

wasn't it where marco peter white used to be?

[mrs.chappie]

Not very much, Craft. In fact, if we eat in, it tends to be Mr. C that does the cooking.

Thanks DT, I'll let you know how it went.

[mrs.chappie]

That's right, Halifax mum.

We've got a hotel booked for an overnight stay near to the restaurant (courtesy of Groupon) so it should be nice.

[Halifaxmum]

it's reputation round here (west yorkshire) is pretty good, but if you're looking for somewhere else to go, try Le Metro in Halifax, it is sublime!

[mrs.chappie]

Thanks Halifaxmum, I'll put that on my list. I'm eating my way round Yorkshire. :o)

[Halifaxmum]

oh Le Metro is simply sublime! and i'm not on the payroll! lol

me and Halifax partner went there last week - I had sea bass, partner had rib eye, a beautiful bottle of dry white...heaven! :)

[mrs.chappie]

Ooh, I love sea bass. Mind you, there's not much I don't like when it comes to tucker. :o)

[Halifaxmum]

are u from west yorks mrs c?

[mrs.chappie]

No HM, I'm from East Yorkshire.

[Halifaxmum]

Hull? The Deep is fantastic, Halifax son & daughter love it :)

[mrs.chappie]

A village not far from Hull. Been to The Deep, and enjoyed it.

Oh, the Independent reviewer obviously has cheaper tastes than the guy from the Guardian:

[Halifaxmum]

omf'in gee! our meal at Le Metro was 30 odd quid! What a fookin rip-off the Box Tree is!

[mrs.chappie]

I know it's expensive Chris, but what the heck, we're ski-ing (spending kids' inheritance).

:o)

Thanks for the links. I'll have a look at them now.

[Halifaxmum]

lol mrs c - i'll have to remember that ski-ing!

[mrs.chappie]

HM is probably right. Should be bloody good though. :o)

[Halifaxmum]

let us know mrs c - about the food and also the price! michelin stars are a load of poo-poo, they don't mean anything...look forward to hearing from you x

[mrs.chappie]

HM, I will let you know how I got on.
