Today, we drove over to the Montagu Arms in Barnwell to meet up with Mick and Jane. The last time we were here was back in May this year, also with Mick and Jane. This used to be a very frequent destination ‘back in the day’, but until earlier this year, we hadn’t been back for close on 15 years! We drifted away for no specific reason other than there were lots of other eatery options out there plus the venue went through a period of mediocrity!
I’m pleased to say that when we visited in May, the old magic was back – excellent food and excellent service! 👍😊. We hoped today would be the same.
The journey there was treacherous. The weather had promised rain, rain and more rain – and it certainly lived up to that promise! 🙄☔☔. We were first to arrive, where we immediately noticed that the decorators were in. That meant all guests were being diverted to the ‘old’ Bar area. It suited us, as they had arranged a table for us all in front of the wood-burner (that was already working overtime!). Cosy!! 👍
The menu and our food choices didn’t disappoint, even if we had to wait longer than usual to order. The service was faultless, and they even managed to find Ann a large cushion to soften the impact of spine on wood!
All in all, a good experience, and we were well looked after by the staff. We’ll be back! 😊😊😊😊
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
