Heaton Moor watch

The restaurant replacing Room 311 now has an ad in the front window looking for staff and a link to its website. Not sure we'll be able to just pop in for coffee.

So the only place on our doorstep to go out for an alcoholic beverage in the evening is The Moor Top pub, which is OK at best. It also means it's the only handy place to go for the kids to eat more than a snack. This wouldn't be a big issue, but as we are having some of the house redecorated at the moment to repair the damage caused by the Christmas flood, we haven't been eating at home in the evening as the place is full of dust, smelling strongly of paint and anyway most of the kitchen utensils are packed away.
