Talbot Inn, Worcester

Pizza for a change. They offered an al diavola pizza which when I ordered it came in three styles. Not well-cooked, medium or rare but spicy, hot or fiery. Naturally I went for fiery. And it was. Clearly home made with wholemeal pasta base and real fieriness (or is that fierocity...). A 4 quid bottle of aussi shiraz for 11 quid and the meal was complete. No caesar. Hotel was tropically warm; all radiators on, all windows open but sweatdrippingly hot.
