WHERE FRIENDS AND FOOD
MEET
An article written by

What better
place to meet than at La Popote restaurant and Sue Tarr’s Summerhouse in Hilton
on a warm Saturday morning.
The venue is
small and intimate but the garden is amazing and the beautiful trees and
umbrellas give ample shade and cover.
When it is misty and rainy as it often is in Hilton the inside is snug
and warm often with the fire burning brightly in the corner.
A group of
us ,who are like ships passing in the night, decided to meet recently and catch
up. I chose the venue and we were
blessed with a really spectacular day in Hilton filled with lovely soft
sunshine and a quiet little breeze.
We arrived
at La Popote just as the breakfast rush was over and we enjoyed a lazy mid-morning
coffee break with indulgences in the form of freshly baked scones with
raspberry jam and cream, carrot cake and French lemon tarts. A real treat!
Lesley, the
owner, always greets everyone as her friend and makes one feel completely at
home. The little shop attached to the
restaurant is very popular and one can browse for hours.
Friends for
years made up for lost time and were able to
lose any sense of time for a few
happy hours.
