It’s not often that Gemma and I get to go out for a meal, but yesterday we took the opportunity. Ellie had gone out for the day with Nana and Grandad, and her cousin Dafydd to Chester Zoo, and was staying over at night.
We went to a lovely Italian restaurant that we’ve passed loads of time on our way into Wigan.
The restaurant is called La Cava and when we arrived it was very busy. which is always a good sign 
. The waiting staff were very friendly from the outset, and were very attentive and checking that everything was ok.
The food was very good, and great value too. They had a good selection of items on the menu, to start with Gemma had ribs, which just fell off the bone, and I had calamari, which was very good. To follow, Gemma ordered a Margherita pizza, which was large to say the least (luckily we were able to parcel up what Gemma didn’t manage to finish, and have it the next day ), and I had Penne Gratinate, which was really delicious and well cooked. Hats off to the chef.
Gemma and I both thoroughly enjoyed the evening out, spending some quality time together. We will definitely go to La Cava again.
