I recently had their ploughmans which I really enjoyed. So I had it again and it wasn?t that great the second time. Perhaps I should have waited a day or so.


I also think it was a little expensive or maybe not. Anyway I left feeling a little annoyed about something but it could have just been an uncomfortable chair or an ingrown toenail.


Anyway the ploughmans comes with 2 thick greasy slices of pork which I liked and some cheese and pickle and bread and celery and an apple and I?m just rambling now so I?ll get back to work.

I ate in the Plough for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was early on the Thursday evening - not too many punters and just prior to the Quiz. Atmosphere pleasant, food very nice indeed. Mrs C had bangers and mash - well, poshed-up sausages and mash-ed po-tatoes more like, and I had a vegetarian Lasagne thingy. We even had puds. Not too pricey. All in all a decent experience, but there again I don't get out all that much and am nowhere near as discerning as some of the epicurians on this forum.

MW74 - glad to report no sign of undesirables.


PS why is it that restaurants often seem to serve smaller portions for vegetarians? Mrs C's bangers and mash was large (she didn't polish it off) whereas my veggie dish was like a starter. Kept waiting for them to bring out a huge steaming plate of rice or something whilst all the time knowing it wasn't coming. You'd think they would realise that veg's are not as filling as meat and that they are cheaper. wish that they would cater for bl**dy ravenous vegetarians like me.

I?ve never understood why vegetarian options have to be a ?second class? choice on menus, always a meat dish with something like tofu to replace meat. There are plenty of dishes out there that are vegetarian by their very nature and can just be part of the menu, aimed at all the punters not just the veggies. I?m an avid meat eater but don?t feel that every meal I eat has to be based around meat in order to somehow qualify it as a ?proper? meal. A vegetable lasagna has just as much to recommend it as a half chicken IMO.


Veering wildly off topic there but this is lounged anyway.

      Recommendation - Silvano - Driving Instructor

      By cjchung · Posted

      I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all.

      Idle cricket musing

      By David Peckham · Posted

      You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.

      Idle cricket musing

      "PGC, do you reckon this 'Anderson -Tendulkar' series could make Tests a bit more interesting to the wider word?" Alas no. Until it comes back to terrestial telly, I think it will always suffer from elitism(?).  Excepting The Guardian, cricket is barely mentioned in other press. I am fortunate in that my daughter has just added me to her subscription on NOW TV. It has been great to watch this test; it really could have gone either way, eariler in the day, which always makes it more exciting. The only bugbear is that I am a TMS afficianado, and they are about eight deliveries ahead of the tv! I thought Tongue was excellent in mopping up the tailenders, and Duckett was a delight to watch. Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant to see. I'm sure the Edgbaston crowd will have tremendous supporters for both sides. PS: I don't think Jofra will be back on the strength of one county wicket.
