This looks lovely and comfy! In the current weather I'll have a Beckford Hot Toddy;-)
Wasn't Beckford the man who built that crazy folly Beckford tower which has long fallen down?

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Gudrun club
If I was not driving I would have tried that too Gudrun ;-) You are clever....I hadn't thought of the connection, but you are right of course. An interesting family history for sure!!
Thank you for your great comments.

Hello Rosa!
Great pleasure in admiring these lovely series of photos with that bow-window(always charmed by them!) immediately inviting me to enter and enjoy a drink and a meal in such a warm and comfortable atmosphere !!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Beatrice Degan(MARS)
Hello Beatrice, I have passed this place many times but never been inside, until now. It was well worthwhile with such lovely staff and beautiful dining rooms. I don't see my sister very often so it was a treat to take her there for a meal, and my daughter came too.
Thank you for your lovely comments.

If the food and drink are as pleasant as the setting suggests, this would be a great place to spend an hour or two... or three... or.... :-)

Yes it was about three hours George :-) The food was a cut above the normal 'pub grub' and was delicious.

A charming series of pics Rosa..........all with lovely warm colours and great depth and detail.

Like many other commenters, I really like the bay window in the main image, it's really attractive and very welcoming. The pub frontage in the first PiP is really lovely with the climbing plants very nearly taking over! Inside it looks just as nice - some of those cocktail seem very interesting.

Is it just me or do you spend a lot of time in pubs? :-)))
4 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you very much for your kind comments. There is another window like this to the side.

Ha ha....it may seem that way Keith, but just as much time is spent in tea/coffee shops!
I don't really drink, so I volunteered to drive, but the food was outstanding.

I guess you know how to spend an amusing afternoon Rosa ;)
What is an English 75???
4 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew club
It certainly is when my sister is here Tanja ;-))
I didn't know what an English 75 was but have just looked it up and this is the recipe:
Shake together gin, lemon juice, and rose water with ice until chilled. Strain into a chilled champagne flute and top with champagne or prosecco. Garnish with a thin wedge or slice of cucumber......fancy one ;-))

Looks like the perfect spot to spend awhile enjoying the food and beverages on offer. A great series of images Rosa, especially the one through the windows showing the inviting interior. Especially so when we are 'enjoying' 6 Deg.C with cold rain and a 'fresh' northerly breeze here today;-(

All the best, Doug

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Oh my goodness, it's cold up there Doug! Yes it is a good place to spend some time, maybe by a warm log fire ;-)) I'm sure you have many such places nearby! This pub was particularly nice with very good staff I am pleased to say. Not quite so cold down here but a brisk wind!!

All the best, Rosa.
