The search for Saturday sustenance
Nov. 8th, 2009 01:59 pmYesterday myself and Becky went to try and buy a pub lunch in town. Easier said than done.
First stop, The Dragon. Nowhere to sit.
Second stop, the Pit and Pendulum. Having decided on burgers, we were told that they had no burgers (and that there was a 45 minute waiting time for food anyway). No good.
Third stop, the Salutation Inn. One cheese burger and fish and chips successfully ordered with drinks. Then, 2 minutes later, the serving girl, who had kindly given me a discount that I neither asked for nor qualified for, came over to say that she'd "had a blonde moment" - despite her hair being blue or something - and that they weren't actually serving food that day.
Finally, we got to the Old Angel, where we had to choose from about 45 different types of burger, and finally got food made and delivered by an authentic-sounding American woman. Added entertainment was provided by said woman walking straight into a table when taking our plates away. We should go there first next time.
