Col Mustard went for lasagne, piping hot with lots of pasta. A bit of a search for meat and the sauce tasted just like a well known brand of cream of tomato soup ;). However, it was tasty and filling.
Good amount of bacon and tasty carbonara sauce. Creamy tasting but not overly rich.
A cola and soda and lime brought the bill to £12.40.
