Sunday Lunch

It's Sunday afternoon. Trish and I have just got back from the Compton Lounge. (Tel: 01323 731662). It was as good as I expected. It rates as one of the best lunches I have had anywhere. Four courses of absolute heaven. The food was much better than excellent. The desserts nothing less than sublime. The total bill including a generous tip came to just £30. Currently the Compton doesn't have a license to sell alcohol. If we had wanted wine, Jo was happy for us to bring our own. It's hard to find somewhere that is truly individual. This is one of those places. It's like walking into a family home - and you're a part of the family. During lunch we had a great chat with the couple on the next table. He'd just finished running in the Eastbourne half-marathon; had gone home, showered, changed and was now enjoying lunch at the Compton. I felt quite exhausted just contemplating what he'd done. I wish Peter and Jo the very best of luck in their venture. I cannot rate this place highly enough. Try it. Even if it's for a cup of tea. You'll love it.
