What colourful fish!

Above expectations
On Saturday nights it can be tricky to get into a restaurant without having booked in advance, but Graffiti managed to make the three of us welcome and find us a table. It’s called Graffiti because diners are given crayons and encouraged to be artistic on the paper tablecloths. Good drawings are then put up on the walls, which must save on the decoration costs.
The centrepiece is a brilliant marine aquarium, with waving corals and unlikely- coloured fish darting in and out of them. The staff, quite rightly, are proud of the aquarium and very protective of it. Another less obvious feature is one of those trailing tradescantia plants, which goes up one wall, across the ceiling on cuphooks, along the opposite wall, then round to the opposite corner—about 40 feet long we reckoned (is this a record?!).
And what about the food—well, we were impressed. A pasta dish was good; the pizza big, excellent and beautifully crispy. I had a calzone, a folded-over pizza, which was huge—it seemed to stretch across the plate halfway to Bedfordshire, and tasted excellent.
The food was big, but the bill wasn’t, so it was a big thumbs-up from us for Graffiti, and we’ll be back
