Comments on: Poolside Cafe at the Andrew “Boy” Charlton Pool http://www.notquitenigella.com/2010/01/28/poolside-cafe-at-the-andrew-boy-charlton-pool/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

The staff were really nice and the food was excellent when I was there. In fact sitting here in London it's the one place I wish I could beam myself to when it cold and grey over here.

Hi Hannah-Ahh we'll soon be in the throes of Autumn so I'm eating as much Summer fruit as possible :D Aren't they the best? They're right in season now-yum! Hi fat mum slim-Ahh yes the front gets very sunny. They asked us if we wanted a sunny table or a shaded one and I'm glad we got the shaded one. That must have been very uncomfortable for you! Xxx Hi joey-I know, the views and the walk there were gorgeous! :) Hi john-The pork belly was nice but a bit too petite a serve for the amount of greens. LOL well I shall hope that you turn up around me next time I'm lost :D Hi Jess-Eeek that sounds like highway robbery. I don't understand why cafes do that. They usually do well from repeat business and people just won't come back if they're given such paltry portions. Hi Blond Duck-Hehe you just can't rely on cows can you? :lol: Hi Lea Ann-Thankyou so much! :) Hi Fiona-Hehe does one mental road map replace another? :P Hi Einna-Me too! It's so hot! :O Hi Lisa-Hehe sounds like a good place to go for a post run frappe to cool down? :) Hi sandra-yes we were really hoping for some amazing salads! Hi Liss-Hehe really! You could toast him with your frappe? I remember that, that was very funny! :lol: I could tell that you weren't used to being lost! Hi Su-yin-Ahh I understand! Getting lost while driving is very easy! :D Hi anna-Ahh sounds like you're having a ball! :D Hi Gastronomy Gal-Yeah it was a bit of a shame really as it sounded so good! Hi foodwink-Hehe I hope I'm getting better too! :D Hi Canlever-Well you can't please everyone and those creative recipes take a long time to think up- I am one person! Hi Joy-I know, I know we had road maps but GPSs are fantastic (when they work :P). Yes the tomatoes had definitely seen better days :( Hi Belle-Yes if they took a bit more time with the food this place would be amazing! :) Hi Sian-Yes that's how I felt and I couldn't agree more! :D Haha well I've done Ripples at Pyrmont and the Milsons Point. There's Aqua Dining at the pool in Milsons Point too which might be worth a visit too :) Hi April Marie-LOL you are too funny! :lol: Hi Amy-I've never been to Wagga, is it small? Good to know I'm not the only one! :) Hi Esz-Oh yes! Those cryptic signs are terrible aren't they! I should really get an iphone as that would help me! :) Hi sophia-Ahh really? I had no idea! Yes these ones are pretty big :) Hi Cakelaw-It was! :D Hehe don't get me started on shopping centres :lol: Hi Midge-The frappes were quite good! :) Hi Matilda-Yes so many strange road rules too! Hehe mien too, isn't it great? :lol: Hi Gummi Baby-Haha good to know I'm not alone :P Ahh well I choose to ignore that when food is in front of me although I can see what you mean :lol: Hi Celia-Yes it's one of those places I've always meant to go to and it's taken me all Summer to get there! :lol: Hi tasteofbeirut-Yes the view is rather magnificent! Hehe thankyou! I feel much better now! :D Hi Moya-Hehe good idea although I did try but couldn't figure it out! LOL yes maybe they were looking after our waistlines? :lol: Ho walkingcake-Oh yes one way streets are a killer! :lol: Hi Natalie-It is an amazing location. If only I weren't in such a hurry to enjoy it :lol: Yes I think an adventure is the way to describe it! Hi grace-Hehe you'll have sunshine soon and we'll have Winter! :P Hi Faith-Hehe I could do that! :lol: Thankyou so much! Not long now for you guys? :D Hi The Little Teochew-Yes figs can improve anything can't they! :D Hehe well good to know I'm in great company! Hi lisa-I'm so relieved there are so many of us! I thought I was the only one! :lol: Hi Mowie-Oh really! What a coincidence! :D Yes the views are amazing :) Hi mlle délicieuse-Hehe I wonder what percentage of people at a time are wandering around the Botanical Gardens lost? Eek, speedy rats? :O Hi Lilia-Ahh I don't have one so I'm relying on my inner map :P Hi Y-Yes it was great to catch up with her there! :) Hi chinesechic-Ahh interesting! Were they mid swim? Hehe! :lol: Hi MaryPoppinsinHeels-Hehe I’m so the same! :lol: Thankyou so much lovely!

I actually get lost in my town all the time. I always assume I'll be able to find new places and then end up on the wrong side of town.
