eating our way around england



  1. best hot chocolate in a village in the cotswalds. close second was the buttery in oxford

  2. best pub meal in the harkers pub, chester. voted most loved pub in britain 2009. i had lamb casserole. john had a steak burger

  3. best fish and chips tonight in bath. it lived up to its claim to be the best in south east england

  4. fruit cake and a slice of wensleydale chees in a tea room at knaresborough

  5. chester cake from chester

  6. black pudding for breakfast at the pub in knaresborough (only once)

  7. mushy peas with our fish and chips in a pub at stratford-on-avon

  8. yet to find a lemon squash that would come close to what we think is a lemon squash. john has been convinced to drink smirnoff mixers, lemon cordial (orange squash is apparently orange cordial) lime and soda and lemon lime and bitters

  2. I remember well some of that wonderful English food. We used to stay in the B&B's and then eat everything that was offered to us at their huge breakfasts - and that did us for lunch too! Try the kippers if you get a chance.

    love Jeanette.
