Last week, Carvosso’s saved my life. I pretended that I’d had a table for two booked, for three weeks when, in fact, I booked it on the morning of my girlfriend’s birthday. The management were even in on the swindle, by providing a cake with a short burst of ‘happy birthday’, thrown in for good measure.

I thought they’d gone way beyond the call of duty, however, when I noticed Grilled Dover Sole, on the menu. Perhaps it was just coincidence that Dover Soul is my non-meat-eating girlfriend’s favourite meal. Luckily, the chef knew exactly what to do with a fresh Dover Soul, on someone’s birthday: served piping hot, with new potatoes and a tossed salad, this was a recipe for one happy bunny. My steak was really not at all bad, bordering on really bloody good, in fact. Top marks, for food AND service. We'll be coming again.
