    This little gem is the last thing that you'd expect to find in the middle of an endless 1970s…read morebungalow-haven housing estate. It was the pebbledash equivalent of finding an oasis in the dessert, a quaint but spacious tearoom offering a wide range of teas, coffees, ice-creams and lunches. As we sat there sipping our perfectly foamed lattes and having a chat with the owners we felt quite excited to have discovered this place that had remained unknown to us until we had stumbled upon it. The melodic, baritone voice of Johnny Cash made its way from the juke box into the corner and combined with the vintage decor gave us a sense of nostalgia. We decided to make a 'thing' of it and ordered some food, which arrived quickly and needless to say was a generous portion. I had noted that the kitchen appeared to be quite small and for two sizeable meals complete with a decorative garnish and all of the sides to come from it must have been quite a chore. I know I would have struggled. The steak was cooked to perfection, I'm not that well educated in steak, I think medium rare is my favorite, I don't really know. All I know is that this one was lovely and I did observe a couple (who had also ordered steaks, in fact the chap had TWO!) taking photos of their meals to send to their friends. When it comes to eating out I am quite a skinflint, it's more often a case of limited funds but if I had the choice of The Harvester or a fancy-dancy restaurant I would probably go with the former unless someone else was paying. Like I said, I'm not a pro when it comes to steaks but I tend to avoid ordering them because I find that they can be hit or miss depending on the chef's idea of what medium-rare is. I know that if I go to The Harvester I'm going to order the BBQ ribs before I even get hold of a menu because they're delicious every time. If I went to a restaurant where I'd need a small mortgage for a started then I'd be doubly disappointed if the meal wasn't up to standard. Anyway, back on track - In conclusion we found Memory Lane to be very enjoyable, the staff were lovely, the setting was lovely. Great food and inarguably good prices. The only issue that I could see (although it didn't affect me) was that they did not serve alcohol. The staff did point out that there is a shop directly opposite where you can buy drink to have with your meal. They did say that they are looking to start doing alcoholic drinks, so perhaps that's sorted now.
