For ages I have wanted to go to The Star Bistro in
Ullenwood, which is a joint venture by The Wiggly Worm team
(a charity that works amongst the vulnerable, disadvantaged or seldom heard)
and the students from the National
Star College (specialist further education college for people with
disabilities). They have recently got through to the finals on Food
Glorious Food on ITV1 with their Pimm’s Jelly, fingers crossed they
win.
Today we finally managed to go and I really hope we go again
soon. Not only because the food we had was lovely and the place is great
but the menu is so good, I was torn what to choose. So I need to go back
and try the other things I like the look of.
I had Butternut Squash Risotto and Tweedy had Confit
Duck. I really wanted to try the Mussels, Chilled Poached Salmon
with Cucumber Salad and the Seared Bavette Steak. There were so many
amazing sounding dishes on the menu.

Tweedy really isn't in to food that much. To
him it is fuel he needs to make him function and often forgets to eat and only
remembers when he gets dizzy. He generally eats out because I love good
food and if I ask him how his was he normally shrugs and says “It was OK”, but
even he said his duck was full of so many flavours.
I can’t recommend The Star Bistro enough; it is great on so
many levels.
