Our night out at Hintlesham Hall
October and we went for our 'prize' night out at Hintlesham Hall. Won via a raffle on Arbellio, our rail company. And highly apposite as in about 1980 I (RW) went to the hall when it was under the chef-patronage of one Robert Carrier. The event was a Masterchef final (oh yes, it is that old!) and he royally entertained us. He sold out later and Ruth Watson (yes that one) gave the place the makeover he could not - or afford! Anyway since then it has been na country house hotel. We had a pretty nice room and a fine meal (we paid for that) and a good lok around. It has not changed much (in 450 years either)...
