My sister Claire and I had booked into Number 29 Tapas Bar, a tiny little bar and restaurant on Frenchgate, almost overlooking the junction where you can either wind downwards to The Station and swimming pool, or head upwards into the Market Place. There were two sharing platters on offer – one with meat, and the other a vegetarian option – plus 15 smaller dishes. From our vantage point near the bar, we could see other meals coming out of the busy kitchen, and they looked mouth-wateringly good. The fluffy potatoes also went well with the tomatoey sauce from one of our other dishes, the meatballs topped with cheddar cheese.
