Parma Number 42: Stones Corner Hotel … Gazpacho on chicken does not for a good meal make!

The Verdict: Last night’s chicken Parma was imbibed with my junior Parma correspondent Davo and he summed this one up pretty well … “This is perfect Uncle Steve … Except for the salad!”. The bad salad coupled with a few … Continue reading
Parma Number 15: The Shafston Hotel … The Shane Watson of Chicken Parmigiana
The Verdict: The chicken parmigiana at the Shafston Hotel came with a big wrap on it from a number of sources and was met with much anticipation. Ultimately, whilst in some parts this Parma really hit the mark, in areas … Continue reading
