More Pub Grub...

Haven't done much cooking lately as I've been out catching up with old friends, and eating out. A big "thanks" to The Bridge Inn, especially, in Shoreham. Another example of (a) how commercial food is inferior to home cooking and (b) pub chains are terrible.
Not only was that the most overpriced, cold food I've ever wasted money on, it was the surliest service, too. £8 for a few florets of cold broccoli and potato, with a little side dish of...more cold broccoli scraps. Not sure how you'd describe the tableware it was served on either- it wasn't a plate, but more like a gravy boat without a handle- about the size of 3 small ramekins.

Just to add a bit of balance, I should tell you that I had a fantastic meal last Friday, not for the first time, at The Fox Inn at Shipley, just outside of Wolverhampton. The Fox isn't affiliated to a chain....
