 Beside the Gas Fireplace! by Bwana_Brown
We knew that we had more ground to cover in order to make our planned time of arrival in Cornwall the next day, so we kept our meal simple and easy. Sue had a Quiche with Salad while I opted for a Ploughman's Lunch of Cheddar cheese, bun, pickled onions, tomato, green peppers, red onion, cucumber, lettuce coleslaw, mayonaise and Indian chutney. To wash the meal down we enjoyed a glass of Australian Chardonnay and a pint of Yorkshire's Stones Bitter beer. The total cost of the meal was just under 14 GBP (US$24) Leave a Comment Theme: Pub/BreweryPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Market Street, Watchet, Somerset TA23 0ANPhone: 01984 631279Directions: Situated In the town centre, near the Harbour

 The Bull Inn by Bwana_Brown
Nevertheless, I spotted an interesting daily special of spicy Mexican Chicken on jacket potaotes, served with a salad (4 GBP or US$7). A pint of Carling draft beer and I was all set! As I was speaking to the server, I noticed that she had a southern Africa accent and mentioned this to her. Yes, she said, she had been brought up in Durban, South Africa but had long since been resident in England. A small world, I told her, since my wife had studied nursing in Durban nigh onto 40 years ago! Altogether it was a pleasant little stop, but their parking lot was a bit of a challenge to exit (and I don't scare easily!). The road curves around the left side of the pub and traffic seems to suddenly emerge from out of sight while moving at a fairly healthy clip. This is no place for dawdling, just look to make sure nothing is coming and step on it to get out while the going is good! I seriously considered stopping to look at the nearby Naval Air Museum but, in the end, decided it would take too much time and continued my uneventful trip to the London area.

This isn't just a Somerset tip. It applies throughout England, including London. I found restaurants to be terribly expensive, by my home (U.S.) standards, throughout the U.K. and western Europe. But, in England, dining in pubs offered an economical alternative.
Not every pub had food, and not every pub that did have food had GOOD food, but most of the pubs where I dined served a pretty darned good meal for less than five pounds, sometimes less than five dollars (U.S.).
The food is usually some kind of casserole -- like lazagna, shepherd's pie, etc. -- maybe with a side of fries or a veggie. It was almost always simple, but filling and tasty.
A good-sized serving of whatever was offered, plus a pint of bitter or stout, was usually far cheaper than a mediocre restaurant meal near by.
It's a great way to stretch your food dollar while roaming the U.K. Leave a Comment
