The Emblems Restaurant: Just great!

by himalia11

We were already very hungry and didn't expect to find anything along the street when we suddenly saw this restaurant. What a luck! This restaurant turned out to be the best we had eaten at during our vacation in England and also had nice views on the Fovant Badges. I had a lunch menu with a wonderful pork steak in mustard sauce and my husband a chicken breast with sherry cream sauce. We both enjoyed it much! When we were finished the owner came and we had a very nice chat - in German! What a surprise!

The Red Lion: A Thatched Roof Beauty

by Bwana_Brown

During our Christmas, 2005 trip, after our late start from Farnham, Surrey, it was about 1:30 PM on a Sunday afternoon by the time we had reached Avebury and walked to the local pub (parking spaces were at a premium in this popular UNESCO World Heritage Site village). With its thatched roof, the Red Lion certainly looked the part of a traditional English pub but, it is actually following the trend of many British pubs these days in swinging over to more of a 'restaurant'-type business. However, in our case we never made it past the 'smoking' portion of the pub, since it had a cosy atmosphere and we were surprised to find that it was not crowded at all. When we went out to order our lunch in the main no-smoking restaurant section, we could see the many tables serving families with children. Back in the smoking section, as I stood at the bar ordering our drinks, I asked the bartender for...

Saadi Indian Take-Away & Thresher Wine Shop: The Best Indian Take-Away Ever!

by Bwana_Brown

After going in circles to find a place to spend the night, once we had settled in at the Swan Hotel, we decided at about 7 PM that it was time to find ourselves a good pub! The back entrance of the hotel opens up onto the far end of the bridge in the photo and is smack in the centre of town, so we turned left and headed up the sloping street (almost everything slopes in Bradford-on-Avon). We had only walked for a couple of minutes on Silver Street before we passed both a wine shop and then an Indian take-away joint, surprising me that they were open on a Sunday night. After looking at the Indian restaurant menu, we decided to just order something to-go so we could enjoy the comforts of our big hotel room only a few steps away! For the Indian food, we ordered a Balti Chicken Tikka Masala (5.60 GBP), a Chicken Dupiaza (a Bhuna dish with onions that we had never heard of before), Nan...

The George Inn: These "George Inn's" are Popular

by Bwana_Brown

Once we had finished with Stonehenge, we headed east on the A303 just before noon because we had made commitments to be in the Exeter area that evening. Along the way, we stopped for a quick lunch in Mere at, as it turned out, another George Inn! We were not all that hungry and had some distance to cover, so we both elected to have their Soup dishes. Sue had Roasted Tomato & Coriander while I had to try the Stilton & Broccoli, each for 3.25 pounds (US$ 6). However, neither of us were too impressed by either the food or their atmosphere. We did not even rate a fire in their Non-Smoking room fireplace!

The George Inn: A Great British Pub Meal!

by Bwana_Brown

On our arrival in Corsham, we asked our B&B hosts if they had any suggestions for a good place to eat in town. They first mentioned a nice Indian restaurant but we immediately said that we had done that for the past two nights and were looking for something else. They pointed us to the nearby historical village of Lacock, by means of back lanes across a few miles of fields, where The George Inn was well-known for its fine meals. Armed with our instructions, we set off in the dark and were able to locate both the Village and the Inn without any problems. This Inn dates from 1361 and is one of the oldest buildings in Lacock. It has a very warm and inviting interior, including beamed ceilings and a medieval fireplace, complete with a 'dog spit'. This device was invented in the Tudor era and it is said that it gave rise to the expression 'it's a dog's life'. This treadmill was designed for...

This seemed one of the more appealing restaurants in Lacock. We had a very good lunch.. average prices for the UK.. jacket potatoes, fish, soups and good desserts.
