Did you know…

The meaning of the phrase “Pull the wool over someone’s eyes”

Generally, this expression can be traced to the powdered wigs which were the custom in the early nineteenth century – the “wool”, having fallen down over a man’s eyes, would temporarily blind him.

While today’s judges favour horsehair and would never be caught dead in an ill-fitting rug, their predecessors often wore poorly fitted wigs, and many a barrister boasted about pulling the wool over the judge’s eyes.

Week one of the new Winter Menu starts on Monday 28th October. Please place any orders by Thursday lunchtime.
Bon Appetit!
