At Home with John and Debbie

Leamington has an awful lot of pizza places. What it really needs now is:

• Mexican (Chico’s doesn’t count because it’s useless)
• Noodles (a Wagamama would do nicely)
• Sushi

Hooray! Sushi is struck off the list, because Sushiya has opened on Holly Walk.

Debbie and I were so eager that we strode in shortly after noon, to a cheery “Irashamasai!” and an apology that they weren’t serving until one. So we killed some time around town, and made our way back, giving them a bit of extra time to prime the conveyor belt.

I don’t believe anywhere in Britain can do sushi as cheaply as the basic places in Japan, but Shogun in Birmingham does a fantastic £10 all-you-can-eat lunchtime deal.

Sushiya can’t beat that price - by quite a long way: we spent £20 each - but the standard is a lot higher. We stuck to the stuff that floated past on the belt (you can order more exotic things). In particular, I couldn’t fault the salmon or tuna nigiri, and that means they got the basics right.

So, hooray, again! Hooray! We’re definitely going back soon.
