ever-popular Skippers

GOOD FOOD, excellent service, and a warm wel-
coming atmosphere have always been trade-
marks of Skippers restaurant in Bridge, but a
stunning new look now marks it out as one of the
most stylish restaurants around.

The modern contemporary feel is a move away
from its original regency look but has been met
with approval by customers old and new. When
diners arrive they will discover vibrant shades of
gold, scarlet, purple and green with fabric and
wallcoverings by Designers Guild.

The refurbishment includes a new entrance, a V

conservatory which accommodates parties of up
to 30 people, and luxurious new cloakrooms
upstairs.

New style menus have been created to comple-
ment the new look and feature a more modern
style of British cooking in tune with today’s
tastes, with influences from the Middle East,
North African and Asian cuisine now apparent,
however most of the elements which have always
made Skippers different from other restaurants
have not changed. There is still a set price for the
four course meal, the table is yours for the
evening, and many of the dishes are brought
around the restaurant for diners to see before
making their choice, and Skippers signature
dishes the spectacular chocolate cabbage, and
the bread and butter pudding are as popular as
ever, although the sticky toffee pudding with
delicious butterscotch sauce is now a hot
favourite.

The stunningnew look inside the restaurant
makes Skippers one of the most stylish around

The current menu features roast rack of lamb
with provencale vegetables and. rosemary sauce
or spicy Moroccan’ chicken with lentils, yoghurt,
cumin and mint, roast fillet of cod with champ
potato and grain mustard sauce or the vegetari-
an dish Tostada Grande, layers of crisp tortillas,
roasted vegetables, avocado and sour cream.

The Sunday lunch menu still features tradi-
tional roast beef with the best Yorkshire pud-
dings, roast potatoes and gravy you will find any
where, as well as fish and vegetarian dishes, and
at £18.50 for four courses is excellent value.

very popular in the past and there are more.
scheduled for the near future. The Cameo Opera
Company return‘ for two nights on November
9/10 when as well as enjoying superb food, diners
will be serenaded between the courses with
music and song from Carmen, Rigoletto,
Phantom of the Opera and many others and you

ly atmosphere. The cost is £23.50 - £25 inclusive of
four course diner.

To celebrate the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau
on November 19 and 20 there will be two special
