New Beginnings...

After a few months break the FFCC is up and running again we are off in a slightly different direction... no One Direction for us!

We have decided to split the organising around members and hopefully this will add some new venues and types along the way as well as give everyone a piece of the decisions on where and when to go... Looking forward to it.

Tom is in the Captain seat this April - Marlow the venue back in to the Tiger Club (no mention of the toilets please Ed!) Watch the Twitter feed for updates and the reappraisal of this fine wee curry house we last visited a couple of years back. Should be a blast... probably starting out in the Prince of Wales around the corner. Looking forward to it great to be back in the proverbial saddle.

Mid Week Buffet

Decided to pop in and try the mid week buffet at The Ocean Village on Bridge Street in Maidenhead last night with two friends.

Now we believe at the FFCC that what you pay is not an indicator of quality when it comes to curry and so an offer of £6 cash only for a buffet we were optimistic.

Sadly it was not to be - the food was not bad it was perfectly fine but just very very bland flavouring. Which was a shame.

These guys are always friendly and polite and welcoming and we have eaten here before with mixed results and last night was more of the same.

Choice of starters, samosa, bhaji, chicken tikka and spices all very ordinary: mains was a choice of three curries, two chicken and one lamb all with tender meat but again just very bland, making food as bland as this is crime... We are sure locals will throw their arms up in outcry but thus is very bland ordinary curry and these guys can do so much better.

Won't be trying the mid week buffet again a definite 4/10. .

Ouch! The hottest curry

We have been talking amongst ourselves a lot recently about the Scoville Scale - Nagas & Scotch Bonnets and all thing chilli related when we came across this!

Bless the Daily Mail.
