Laurel & Hardy Volume 1 - A Chump at Oxford
This is a single DVD containing 3 wonderful films;
A chump at oxford
From soup to nuts
Another fine mess
The films are in their original black and white format and also ?colourised? version.
The main feature is
?A Chump at oxford?
This is a superb comedy made when Laurel and Hardy where at their best.

The Food
-------------
When you are shown to a table, a bowl of prawn crackers is placed on your table instantly. The evening prawn crackers are nicer as these are Thai spiced, however the ones you at given at lunch time are plain prawn crackers. Normally you can choose to upgrade for £1 which is worth it.
As I said I went for the 2 course set menu. Today I opted for Thai fishcakes for the starter. These are the nicest Thai fishcakes I have had, and I always seem to get these. Within the fishcakes it is a nicely spiced combination of flaours and you do get the occasional piece of spring onion.
