- The food is designed to be eaten at a certain temperature. It may rapidly lose that temperature if photograhy keeps it waiting.
- The lighting in restaurants is rarely condusive to good photography.
- Using a flash or a tripod is particularly disruptive for other patrons.
On the other hand, it means I can show you what we ate last night at The Lock Bar and Restaurant.

Flowery-herbed pork with crackling, potatoes-and-cabbage, black pudding roundel, soft-cooked apple, and pulses
A mountain of aged beef, with sides (for two people)
Risotto (vegetarian)
Peach soup with vanilla rice pudding (slightly undercooked rice, otherwise lovely)
