If I could only choose one in February 2010, I would go for Sticky Toffee. The raspberries on the others might put people off.
I love Sticky Toffee, but I'm concerned it might be very heavy after a large meal....

Whilst loads of it sounds super yummy, Robert doesn't eat fish and I don't eat Red meat, so we're a bit limited as to what we can actually have! We need veggie options too though.... We're also trying to stick to £15 and under for the main dish... £20 a person for the main dish alone is too much for us!
