My first visit to the UK was 1984 and pub food was such great value in that simple, unapologetic way. The shepherds pie, ploughman's were staple with big serves. From memory they cost around 3 quid, sometimes little more or less. A range of other simple meat with veg offerings of similar cost depending where you were. An absolute bargain, great sustenance for travelling around, kept you warm, always tasty and highly enjoyable. Comfort food. Scotland the pints were under a pound and it was not a great deal over that in London. Love those memories.

What a brilliant pub. Chances of finding a place like this without reviews like this are slim to none. BTW most authentic curries have quite a bit of cinnamon in them. Where I am at in Holland, they put cinnamon in most deserts, the Dutch influence on the American story can also be traced via what has cinnamon in abundance.

What a great pub! These places should all have protection orders on them to stop someone changing it to what they think is s good pub. My wife and me remember our parents leaving us in a Mark i Ford Consul outside The Fox pub in Peckforton, Cheshire ( now known as the Bickerton Poacher), in 1967 being fed on lemonade and crisps. Just a year or so later, I remember aged 15 being left in a car outside a pub in Seacombe, Wallasey and as it was freezing weather, I was allowed the keys to keep the engine and heater running. Various family friends would pass me out bottles of pale ale at regular intervals. Unbelievable in today's cotton wool woke land, but that was real life then.

Simple is often better. That was much better than Clarkson's pub. That beer looked great ... I wish I was 20 years old again and didn't have to worry about beer belly. Anyway, it's a fantastic looking pub and at least they know how to cook a sausage roll properly .... Green Light ... Thanks.

Butcombe house? Independent tiny brewery. Love what they do with food and drink..understated and honest. Try the Goat and Tricycle in Bournemouth.

I love the English language. Greeno describes deepest darkest but what does that mean? Macabre, Sinister? The weather looks clement and there are no witches around.

@@GreenoEats if you make it there obviously the Cornish pasty’s but the offering of sausage rolls ,fresh coffee and doughnuts , the sour dough baguettes are something else, I’m a bit of a food connoisseur myself proclaimed but I’m not kidding this place is a freekin gem, the only association I have with this place is when I’m visiting as a customer no affiliation 👌

That's my kind of pub simple food / drink at a reasonable price who could ask for more if the pub was owned by a well-known chef the prices would be at least twice as high ! And a good traditional porter or stout is great too 👍
