>What is Hitchock's?

 

Another mini guide coming up... If anyone is ever in the area I would

recommend they stay the night just to be able to experience

Hitchcock's. It's a vegetarian restaurant, which has only one sitting at

8pm, in the old town. Each night has a different theme which is picked by

the first person to make a booking for that particular night. This can be

anything, I've experienced styles from the not so-unusual Italian (which I

didn't really enjoy) to Afro-Caribbean and Russian. You get a small

starter to nibble on while you wait for your food, such as Bombay mix in

the case of Indian, and then when the food is served you just take a plate

and fill it from a large selection of dishes. You can then keep returning

all night although there is also desert, this is always the same few items

and I think only the Pecan Pie, Apple Crumble and Fruit cocktails are

vegan, they do have a few flavours of Swedish Glace ice cream too

though. All you can eat for only £10 (£8 for students and OAPs) and it

does taste really good. You do need to book in advance though as hey can

only accommodate about 40 people.

 

>Do you know any

>vegetarian restaurants in York?

 

I only know of the Rubicon, which I also never got to visit, and the

Blakehead bookshop and cafe which was wonderful. A massive slice of apple

pie with a vegan pastry, it was amazing. I think there is also supposed to

be another restaurant near the Minster that does vegan food but I'm not sure.

 

>Borders in Leeds is very good too - three floors with a nice cafe on the

>topfloor! Been singing there too (I'm a singer by the way, don't think I've

>told you before!). Have you been there?

 

I have been to Leeds Borders but of all the ones I've visited, including

Charing Cross Rd in London, I think the York one is the best. I've never

tried the cafes as I don't expect them to have much in the way of vegan

food, although I met up with some people in Waterstone's Piccaddilly

earlier this year and they had a hummus and roasted pepper sandwich which

was okay.

 

What types of song do you sing?
