To continue with our weekend of relaxing Emily thought we should skip cooking for ourselves (and doing the washing up) and go for Sunday lunch at a nice restaurant in Lichfield before I headed back to London.
Chandlers is in an old corn mill building and is beautiful, it has huge wooden beams holding up the gallery around the top floor that looks down into the main restaurant with loads of nostalgic french prints adorning the walls. It felt like a treat without being stuffy, ideal for another chilled out meal - the now apparent theme of the weekend.
They offer a 3 course prix menu for lunch and yep, we went for the full three courses... Emily went for prawn and salmon cheesecake for starters, then the roast beef (she was swayed by the yorkshire pudding) and ended with the glazed lemon tart and raspberry sorbet. The only weird comment was as the starter was like a cheesecake the texture and look went against everything Emily's brain believed to be right, it didn't stop her finishing it though!
I went for the spinach tagiatelle with chicken and chorizo to start which was really tasty, the chorizo flavour infused with the tomato sauce and was the perfect amount. I then went for a vegetarian main, which is quite unusual for me but I needed a cheese fix! This was satisfied by two perfectly cooked and light Stilton and Leek Souffle with asparagus and then something sweet rounded off the meal perfectly - a simple creme brulee.
The meal was the perfect end to a great weekend. I then headed off to the station and instantly feel asleep with a very full tummy for the journey home.
