We decided on Pizza for tea, we chose Gino's East as featured on Man v Food from the travel channel having a deep pan meat feast Paul only managed 1 slice, I struggled to eat 2, leaving 4 slices left, was very very big, and only a medium sized on on the menu. Then it was back to the hotel to recover and warm up as the weather had turn colder during the day
