The Carpark

Most lunch times whilst pondering of what to partake I find myself wending my way by default to this cafe. The steak and cheese pies are actually some of the best I've ever had; crusty pastry, rich gravy and tender meat, never an unwelcome morsel of gristle, unlike many of the alternatives. Once, breaking away from tradition, I chose a bacon sandwich, mostly due to the permeating aroma of previously cooked bacon. This delightful treat did not disappoint; it was full back bacon, well middle bacon as back bacon is rare in this country, no rind nor fat, perfect. They even offered a choice of red or HP sauce, such a welcome variety as red sauce (tomato) is prevalent in NZ, so being British I obviously opted for the HP. Although far better than red sauce I'm not sure that this was actually HP, maybe HP fruity sauce, for it was rather sweeter than the ones in my larder. On Fridays they offer a fish pie, most notable for causing long queues and traffic jams and by selling out by noon; such is their popularity. Definitely my place for luncheon.
