Where to go for lunch?

Sara and Margaid decided to treat themselves to a lunch out yesterday.
It was harder than they thought it would be.
The Swan and Kilverts are both closed for renovations; the Chinese takeaway was closed at lunchtimes; Margaid doesn't like the Three Tuns, and they didn't fancy the menu at the Wheatsheaf. The Wine Vaults was closed too.
They ended up at the Black Lion, which has a new snack lunch menu. Sara was a bit taken aback by the sun-dried tomato in the bread that came with her soup, and Margaid got white bread with her whitebait when she was expecting brown, but apart from that, they said it was very nice.

Meanwhile, they had a brand new rumour about the Wine Vaults - it may be about to become an Indian restaurant! The lady in the hairdressers said so (so it must be true!).
It would be nice if there was some truth in the rumour - Hay has never really had an outlet for Indian food. The XOX Organic takeaway does some very nice baltis and so on, but it would be nice to get a sit down meal out. The alternative at the moment is to drive to Brecon or Hereford.
