A SIMPLE set of just three chairs, a table and a rug pro vided the per fect backdrop to the first of the three Alan Bennett mono logues we saw performed. Irene Rud

brilliantly, evoking laughter, which was on many occasion followed minutes, even seconds, later by feelings of sadness for
reset and we were introduced to Graham - portrayed superbly by Paul McCrink - in "A Chip In the Sugar". Wearing an old-fashioned dressing gown tied with a rope belt, you couldn't help but feel pity for the mild-mannered man who found his usual routine interrupted by the arrival of Mr Turnball and his Rover 2000. The humorous lines were delivered
the situation Graham found himself in. This was certainly the highlight of the evening's entertainment. However, it w;is the final piece, "A Bed
Among the Lentils", which I had been eagerly anticipating. Susan is the vicar’s wife. As well as doing battle with her faith, she must also take on the trials of flower arranging - something of an Olympic sport in her church as the women do battle with flora and fauna. (The incident surrounding "Forest Mur murs" is particularly amusing). Although actress Roberta Kerr (pic tured ) was good, she did appear to over dramatise some of the lines a little too much for my liking. The understated setting of an octago
one well worth seeking out. As well as having good acoustics, the seating is stepped so that everyone gels a good view of I he stage. And it gets extra bonus marks for me for the fact that you can lake your bar drinks into the theatre - providing you've remembered to ask for a plastic glass.

nal stage with few props was the perfect accompaniment to each scene, as your attention was only floutingly distracted from the narrative as occasional images appeared at intervals in the background. The Dukes is a hidden treasure and
by local actress Sarah Thurstan - slipped quietly on to the stage as we took our seats. She came across as a motherly fig ure, dressed in slacks and cardigan. And, although the delivery was more than adequate, for me, Patricia Routledge's adaptation of "A Lady of Letters" will always take some beating. After a short interval, the stage was
Top Dog’s tasty
WHALLEY village centre is not exactly short of a decent pub or
two. As busy a place as you’re likely to go
for an evening drink, Whalley can dis play something of a split personality. And the Dog Inn, smack in the mid
dle of the village, displays a lunchtime persona as good as anything for which you could hope. If you want to try out the excellent
kitchen, you have to go at lunchtime as the Dog reverts to a busy drinking pub for the evening - unless you book a party by special arrangement! We called in on a Friday lunchtime and
found the pub just busy enough to make you realise it was not going to be a wasted visit, but not busy enough to lead to any clockwatching. Because it was lunchtime, we didn’t get
to sample the excellent range of beers. But that did nothing at all to detract
straight for the appetising main courses. A large range of sandwiches, toasties
from the experience. We skipped the s ta r te rs and went
and salads were available and the range of specials made for mouthwatering reading. And judging by the range of omelettes
on offer, they must be something of a house speciality. I have always had something of a weak
ness for stroganoff and when 1 spotted a beef and mushroom variety available, 1 almost sparked a fist fight with my com panion who wanted the same thing. But she plumped for the chicken in
white wine and tarrogan sauce and the knuckle dusters were put away! Both meals arrived in the sort of time
that tells us that an oven, rather than a microwave, has been in use - and both were excellent. Stroganoff is easy to get wrong, but
when you get it right the result can be spectacular, and this mammoth plateful certainly fell into the latter category'. The same, judging by the appreciative
noises from the other side of the dining table, must have been true to the chicken and a quick glimpse around the other din
DISH OF THE WEEK CAPRI SALAD
with Glen Denson A SPECIAL offer in the Sunday Times invited
of the Village Restaurant, Ramsbottom
readers to eat out for £5 at selected restaurants. My husband and I chose the Village Restaurant,
Ramsbottom, to sample the delights of this small, but quaintly stylish, restaurant. Proprietor Chris Johnson prides himself on the
authentic Italian ingredients used in all the dishes. Each week, two pallets of organic goods arrive directly from Milan, containing camone tomatoes, which taste like tomatoes should taste, mushrooms, rocket salad leaves and wonderful basil, melons, classic Italian cheeses, cured meats and fruits. The very best in olive oil, which makes a vast difference to the authenticity of the dishes, is also sent directly from Milan. Chef at the Village Restaurant, Glen Denson, who

ers made it easy to spot that the chef was hit ting the spot. My main course cost .115.80, with the other
weighing in at .116 - and both were well worth the money. A range of desserts at £2.20 were also avail
able and I can report that the lemon meringue pie was every' bit as good as the course that
preceded it. Classical music and the gentle hum of
polite conversation added to the ambience already created by Lhe fine food.
And the whole experience was enjoymble
enough to ensure another visit. EDWARD L E E

trained in Rochdale, has become an excellent comple ment to the kitchen, devising exciting and delicious dish es. There is now a new springtime menu on offer featur ing lasagne vegotali, so light and fluffy, or prawn and rocket salad. However, favourite dishes such as char grilled Mediterranean vegetables and the Mozzarella "Caprese" will still be popular. Local produce is also used for the Goosnargh chicken
© 12 black olives © 8 basil leaves © 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar @ salt and pepper © basil leaves to garnish. Method
1. Using a sharp knife, cut the tomatoes into thin slices
and duckling dishes and the well-hung beef steak. Our recipe for Capri salad features Mozzarella cheese. How ever, making it at home will not be quite the same as Chris's cheese comes straight from Italy and has the truly authentic taste. In fact, he has been awarded a bronze statue of a Mozzarella buffalo to commend him for the use of the cheese, which has a much better flavour than the cow's milk variety’. Ingredients
(serves four as a starter)
© 2 beef tomatoes © 4 'Aoz. Mozzarella cheese
and cut the Mozzarella into slices. 2. Pit the olives and slice them into rings. 3. Layer the tomato, Mozzarella cheese and olives in a
stack, finishing with a layer of cheese on top. 4. Place each stack under a preheated hot grill for two
to three minutes, or just long enough to melt the Moz zarella. 5. Drizzle over the vinegar and olive oil and season to
taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 6. Transfer to serving plates and garnish with basil leaves. Serve immediately.

the 1960s, the winery has devel oped a solid reputation with its eclectic mix of Spanish, French and Italian varieties. I would like to recommend

from their range this week the 1999 Valle de Vistalba Mcrlot at £5.09, made from 100% merlot. The wine has a deep rich colour, with a slightly smokey aroma and a rich fruity combination with cherries and vanilla, finish ing with a soft roundness and
complex tannins. Argentina is the fifth largest pro
ducer of wines in the world, making a lot of very good wine, b u t be warned, they also produce a lot of vin ordinaire. ® Andrew Byrne is a partner in
