Jamies Italian

Trotter and Fing have just returned from a slap up meal at Jamie's Italian.

They were invited originally to Jamie's birthday party by Fings good friend Dexter Fletcher, but Fing thought the noise and bustle and the glut of b list celebrities might prove too much for poor Trotters addled mind.

So Fing accepted a free meal on the Thursday night on their behalf instead.

Fing buffed himself up and brushed his fur and carefully tied a small bow tie around Trotters shabby neck before the walk into town.

The new restaurant was packed, and Trotter and Fing were led to a well placed table for two in the middle of the floor.

Fing ordered a peach Bellini and Trotter had a small stout with a cherry garnish.

The menu was exhaustive, and spoilt for choice Fing opted for squid as a starter while Trotter had the meat platter.

The starters were exemplary and the mains did not disappoint, Fing had king prawns slit in 2 with half a garlic and chili dressing with a small green salad while Trotter opted for a well done steak and chips.

To think it was only training week! The service was outstanding and the food to die for.

There was only one small mishap towards the end of the night when Trotter pissed up the leg of a pensioner on the way out.Disaster was averted when Fing blamed one of the waitresses and wispered 'You can't get the staff' as he sidled past, all beige fur and attitude.

Trotters is glad to be home. He hadn't felt comfortable in his bow tie and had had to take it off on the way home as it was making his neck ache.

So thank you to Dexter Fletcher and To Jamie Oliver for a perfectly splendid evening.
