An Evening of Pies and and Evening ofTapas

My sister and her family came to visit last week, and we spent a couple of very pleasant evenings eating out.
Usually, they stay in a local field in their camper van, but this time they decided to go for a campsite with hard standing over the river at Bronydd, because the ground has been pretty wet and they didn't want to get bogged down.
We didn't really have a plan, so the first evening we peered in through the windows of Tomatitos and saw how busy it was, and went on up the hill to Kilverts.
The meal there could best be described as hearty! The pies are big and tasty - Peter was impressed with the chunks of kidney in his Offa's Dyke pie. I had the lamb, with a nice minty tang to it, and Jule and James had the steak and ale.
We couldn't manage a pudding.
The following night we got into Tomatitos early - my sister wanted me to reserve a table on the way home from work, but they don't actually do that. Fortunately they weren't quite as busy as the night before, and we had a lovely selection of dishes (the lamb tagine went down well, and so did the meatballs). Because we were able to choose a selection, we didn't end up quite so stuffed as we had the night before, and we had room for a sweet. Young James suspected telepathy when my sister and I both chose the same one, plum and apple crumble. It came in a pretty little pear shaped glass bowl.
So, two lovely, and quite different, meals out, in pleasant surroundings, with pleasant company.
