Last week , a new Greek restaurant opened in Shepton Mallet! And we were first in line to try it out. Rosemary Greek Restaurant, is at 19 High Street, where the wine vaults then the mexican used to be. Inside it looks really lush, and the food is absolutely amazing. There are plenty of healthy and vegetarian options, alongside Greek meaty classics like chicken Gyros and Pork Souvlaki. Starters include delicious spicy mussels, calamar and grilled halloumi cheese. For mains, my hubby chose the beef stiffado, from the daily specials board. It was so tender and tasty, I had to have a bite! I enjoyed my very generously sized ceasar salad. The boys loved their cheesy pizzas. It’s a really family friendly place, with kids eating half price burgers, pizza or pasta dishes. The highlight of our meal was the delicious chocolate and banana mousse on biscuit base- to die for ( atleast gain a few pounds for !) Check out fb.me/RosemaryGreekRestaurant or call 01749 346667 to book. We have a lot to be proud of in Shepton right now. I was so happy for local band No Thursday War, who won their heat of ‘Metal To The Masses’ Somerset 2019, at The Cobblestones. The melodic hard rock band with a charismatic frontman, rehearse right here in Shepton Mallet at Pocket Money studios. They’ll now go on to battle it out at the semi-finals on Sunday 19th May. Follow them @nothursdaywar. On Easter Saturday it was my mum’s 75th birthday. Rather than watching a rock band, we thought she’d rather go for a nice lunch. And so we introduced her to arguably the best beer garden in Somerset, well atleast the best view. The New Inn at Blagdon, serves delicious fresh trout caught in Blagdon Lake, along with other fresh locally sourced dishes. It has a nice selection of real ales, and has far reaching views over the lake, villages and valleys nestled in the mendip hills. You can even see the planes taking off from Bristol airport , far in the distance ! After eating our yummy lunch in the sunshine, we crossed the road to have a little look around St. Andrew’s church. It’s open most of the time, and well worth a peek inside. Easter has been so nice, but I’m sure I’m not the only person who is a bit cross with MDC for not managing to pull off a much anticipated Sunday Market this month. Councillor Helen Reader, who sadly wont be standing again this year, had really pushed for an Easter market. Mendip District Council dragged their feet as usual, and it resulted in nothing happening at all. Such a disappointment. But well done Helen for all your hard work in reviving our friday and sunday markets. There will be big themed markets on 19th May, 16th June and 21st July 2019. Come along and support them. Our beloved Fairy Godmother will still be sprinkling her magic around Shepton, who knows what she’ll do next!
