I have long been a fan of blackboards. I love the palimpsest effect that chalk leaves on the board. So when I found that Gazette now has slate table tops and little mugs of chalk I got very excited. For the rest of the review see below in black board format.
Our waitress recommended les ouef en cocotte which arrived in a cast iron saucepan with cherry tomato compote (I almost wrote compost) and dried basil. Fantastically generous portion of 3 eggs. It was so much fun digging into a saucepan. I guess this use of eclectic, rustic serving vessels is Gazette's trademark.
Cowie loved her madeline's. She always does. Drenched in honey they are stunningly hot and fresh. Springy and naughty.
It's pretty rare that I enjoy bills... but this one was great. It was as if the policeman from 'Allo 'Allo had written it - with our freshly squeezed orange juice reading as freshly squizzed. Genius.
Gazette have a policy of offering reviewers a free drink... so we left them with some Paunch graffiti so they would remember our free drink for next time!

What a coincidence! I had been planning a site redesign around a blackboard, but the neon-ish letters on black is easy enough... Not quite as easy to replicate smudges and erasures. Interestingly you also took 2 dry-runs on the board before settling on a "logo" :)
Hi there... I have always loved blackboards... very effective. I've got one in my room to capture thoughts etc. It's a stroke of genius having slate/chalk table tops...
