The Village Restaurant and Grill .
Oh for the sounds and smells of summer! Oh for the wish of an all-inclusive holiday in the sun! I walk along Ogmore-on-Sea and bump into an old workmate by the name of Charlie, poor bloke - he had a heart attack in April and is off on the sick now with his PCV licence suspended until October. Charlie looks well and he feels good but is finding life hard living on £80 a week sickness benefit as our company does not top up his wages due to illness.
We leave the sunny shores of Ogmore and try a new restaurant that was recommended by our friends Deborah and Nicholas. The Village Restaurant and Grill is in the Red Dragon Centre in the heart of Cardiff Bay, about 7 miles south of my home. They do a buffet lunch for £5.95 and specialize in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking.
What a wonderful lunch we had there today - brilliant! We had all the flavours and sensations we always get whenever we enter the restaurant of an all-inclusive hotel on holiday. Marvelous - simply marvelous, I want to go there with our friends for my birthday when I am 50! The food on offer is gorgeous - the chicken curry was gorgeous - difficult to describe, just lush! That lovely Middle Eastern taste, creamy and lush! I had all the tastes that I enjoy on holiday, fresh and full of flavour rather than the dull British food that is generally on offer throughout the UK. What a lovely surprise to be able to get the quality of food I enjoy on holiday just 7 miles down the road from my home. Well done to the team at The Village Restaurant and Grill for bringing a taste of foreign holidays to Cardiff.
