Update - check out my review of Mattoni Italian restaurant!
For those of you living in Hampton or following my tweets on twitter you’ll know that Flamas, the South American restaurant in Hampton Vale has closed down.

Update
As it was my birthday recently, I decided to go into Peterborough city centre for a few games of bowling, followed by food. As it’s next to the bowling alley, a friend suggested going to the new Jimmy Spices World Buffet restaurant and since they currently have a two-for-one promotion, we decided to give it a go.
