Many people often enjoy eating out either before or after a visit to the theatre.However, most of us would rather keep the two pleasures separate.One man who thinks that they can be successfully combined has not only expressed his ideas in a recent book, but also set up an establishment where the theory is put very definitely into practice.The man is Paul Thomson, and the place is the Hollics, an old farmhouse set deep in the heart of the Lake District.Whenever I visit a new restaurant, I feel the same excitement that keen theatre-goers must experience on opening night.I had this felling last Friday evening at dusk, as my wife and I were taking a walk in the beautiful gardens of the restaurant shortly after we had arrived.Dinner was as excellent as we had been promised.There is no menu ,for Mr.Thomson creates his meals rather as a director produces a play.Nevertheless, the various combinations of choices at each course are always perfect as if they were done by magic.He and his team of highly skilled helpers serve, cut and cook the food, moving about the"stage"as confidently as professional actors.The meal is as different from what one finds in ordinary restaurants as a live performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream would be from a second-rate television production.May I after a few words of advice in case you are thinking of paying him a visit? Try not to arrive just after noon,as Mr.Thomson does not serve a normal lunch.His "brunch" which includes the best features of a traditional English breakfast, is served around eleven o'clock and is so plentiful that lunch is unnecessary.Book your seats well in advance, particularly if you require an overnight stay.
