My birthday treat was going to be mussels but they had completely run out and our table booked was cramped in the back surrounded by people though I had asked for a quiet area (hearing issues). Day was saved by being moved and a delicious lamb shank, my partner's roast hock was so big we had to take it home. One of my favourite home style cooking places, will be back for my mussels fix, after calling first.
