life - FOOD & DRINK Oh! and where do you eat out out then? … We asked some of the island’s better known characters and top chefs where they like to dine out. Geoffrey Hughes, Actor: My favourite restaurant is The Priory Bay, Seaview. My favourite home cooked dish is naturally smoked haddock with a poached egg on top. I love to cook, although I’m a french cook, which means I make the mess and my wife does the washing up! John Giddings, Promoter: On the Isle of Wight my favourite restaurant has to be Libertys, Union Street, Ryde. My favourite home cooked dish is Cauliflower Cheese. No comment on the cooking and washing up! Jack Douglas, Actor: My favourite local restaurant is Morgan’s, Shanklin. My favourite home cooked dish is Mussells in white wine. I love cooking I started when I was 7 years old. I also love food shopping. I have written quite a few cookery books. I also share the washing up with my wife! Andrew Turner, MP: There are so many good restaurants I cannot single out one! My favourite home cooked dish is English Breakfast and Sunday Roast. I don’t cook often, and I share the washing up! My physiotherapist told me it was good therapy to do the washing up because it is good exercise for my arms! Andy Sutton, Council Leader, My favourite restaurant is Country Gardens, Totland. My favourite home cooked dish is Fillet Steak with Garlic Mushrooms. Yes I do cook and wash up, it’s what real men do! 84 Sponsored by - www.holidays2remember.co.uk
