We had dinner at The Slug and Lettuce, not far from the hotel. Mum had chicken and mushroom risotto with garlic bread (5.75). The chicken was given as pieces rather than mixed in.

Inside the centre was a souvenir shop and a restaurant. Mum had carrot and parsnip soup, while dad and I had lentil soup. The soup came with a bread roll that was a bit old and dry. I also had a turkey and salad (Spanish onion, lettuce, tomato, cucumber) sandwich and A2 had salmon and cream cheese....
