Vegetarian Food, Miller and Carter

I am vegetarian, and like most veggies finding inspiring and amazing food in normal restaurants is pretty hard! I absolutely love food and I adore cooking so a lot of my posts will be about food. 

We decided to go to Lakeside shopping centre last week. It's not my favourite place for shopping but it was cold and raining and I didn't want to drag the little one too far from home. So after a few hours shopping we went for a late lunch. There are the usual chain restaurants, Pizza Express, Wagamammas etc (although i love Wagammamas by partner is not overly adventurous with food so that was out!) we decided to go to the Miller and Carter restaurant that they now have on the old paddle boat on the lake. They were really accommodating even with our little one which I always appreciate and the atmosphere was very relaxing after the huddle and bustle of the shops! So anyway of course I checked out the cocktails first and went for a mudslide martini, very nice. The veggie main option was a risotto which is fine by me I love a good risotto but let's be honest they are easily messed up! This one was an asparagus and pea base with a finely chopped ratatouille, poached egg and pea shoots and it was amazing! I was so impressed I ate the whole thing and for me that's shows how good it was! I couldn't even wait long enough to take a pic I was so excited to dig in! jAson had a burger but even he said it was one of the best he has had in a while! I would absolutely recommend the place and can safely say we will go back!
