Newby Hall, near Ripon

Baked pototo alert: at the Garden Cafe at Newby Hall, near Ripon, North Yorkshire, I had a baked potato filled with mildly curried chicken with grapes and pine nuts, quite expensive at GBP6.75. The assistant lifted it out of a metal box that steamed as its lid was raised. The potato itself was well cooked all the way through, but it was hardly fluffy and its skin was sad. I wasn't too disappointed as the copious filling was enjoyable and overwhelmed the poor spud.
