My best friend and I had a truly delightful lunch at Harpenden Lussmanns. She said the Shepherd Pie could not have been more delicious and she was very impressed with her dessert, the pineapple carpaccio. I chose just a starter, the Linguine ala Norma which was much more than I could finish, but it too was delicious. My dessert, poached pear with sorbet and chopped nuts was more delicious than I can do justice to with mere words.
