The search for Saturday sustenance

[thedarkproject]

Yesterday 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.

A bunch of us had a roast lunch in the Angel today. Definitely the first stop for pub food these days.

Shame about the Dragon, I love the food in there. But as Longshanks suggests, the Angel is pretty good nowadays, for food if nothing else.

you do realise that no matter what order you go to those pubs for food, the one you get food in will always be the last of the four you go in? the first three will always have some reason to deny you sustenance.

Unless you go in a Wetherspoons first.

The food comes highly recommended these days. The toilets still do not.
