Pubs - Round Two

The Crooked Billet

Fox and Grapes

Hand in Hand

When we moved here, Kevin and I were really excited about the pubs.  I thought half our posts would be about pubs as each one was so unique and interesting.  I think it'd be safe to say that we had "pub fever" and that fever has now gone.  Pubs no longer hold the excitement they once did.  I'm not sure if it is the food which is generally the same or if it is the cost, but either way, we don't frequent them as we once thought we would.  Despite this, the pubs are a unique aspect of the English culture and have been the backdrop of a lot of wonderful memories.  I will share a few of our favorites.


Queens Head in the village of Hawkshead (the "Lake District") had the best food from the traditional fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding to scallops and cheesecake!!

The Swan is where Kevin and I watched the Royal Wedding (until the sounds of making sword/flower/animal balloons became too much to bear).

We have thoroughly enjoyed the pub experience with all of our guests.
