Romney Spice - New Romney

A large delivery to New Romney saw Bob and Phil joined by Clyde for this evening's delivery.  Clyde likes a good curry and thus became our guest blogger for the evening.

We spotted the Romney Spice on the way to the customer's delivery and, armed with a great recommendation from them pulled up outside with eager anticipation.  Located on New Romney's High Street, the restaurant is easy to find.  Although we couldn't say with certainty, we wouldn't be surprised to find that the building is listed.  Beams and thick walls abound and the decor and lighting is sympathetic to the age of the building.

The Papadums and the (bottled) Cobras arrived together with a tamarind dip instead of the normal lime pickle.  All were well received but we were surprised that the beers were served in pub glasses rather than branded.  It was good and cold though!

The curries were very good although Clyde did find his lamb (Madras) a little on the chewy side.  The portions were very generous and served on hot plates so were good and warm all the way through the meal.

The rice and vegetables were all well flavoured and, again, were generous in proportion  Clyde also enjoyed his keema naan.

The service was very polite and affable.  Hot towels were served after the meal and we were all offered a complementary drink.

In total a very creditable 82.  Clyde was asked to provide his marks independently and scored 9,8,7,9,8 - an equally good mark.

Without being spectacular, Romney Spice racked up a score that sees it sitting just outside of our top 5 but well within our top 10 restaurants.
