We’re off to one of our top-three eateries around these parts – The George in Great Oxendon. This was our fourth visit here, having been introduced to it by Paul & Sue back in November, 2021. Today, it was our three-monthly catchup with Ian & Ann and Alan & Mags. We arrived in good time …

Second Visit: The Swan at Braybrooke
We met up with Paul & Sue for Lunch today at The Swan at Braybrooke in Market Harborough. We were there to celebrate some accumulated techy work I’d done for them. The original title of this Post was First Visit but as soon as we pulled into their (rather compact) car-park, I realised we’d been …

Overdue (twice!)
Two overdue activities today! 🤔 First: a return to the ever-reliable Olde Victoria in Burton Latimer and second: a catchup with friends Richard & Pauline. The menu was as good as I remember it – and the service too! 👍. We soon made our choices and the short wait before the food arrived gave us …

I’m in the Country – Man!
We drove over to The Countryman in Staverton village today to meet up with great friends, Ian & Ann. The reason? It had been their golden wedding anniversary this year and by way of celebration, they had organised a series of lunch dates with long-time friends. As we drew up outside, I had a sneaky …

First Visit: Arrow Mill, Alcester
Off for one of our semi-regular get-togethers with Ian & Ann and Alan & Mags at the Arrow Mill in Alcester. Located west of Stratford-upon-Avon, just off the A46, it was our first visit to this rather posh-looking Pub/Restaurant (with Rooms too!). It took us a while to get there though! It may have been …

A welcome return to the newly refurbished ‘other’ ‘The George’ today – the Pub/Bistro/Hotel in Buckden. Since we were last here back in April 2019, the place has had a complete makeover – not just the eatery but the whole Hotel! The ladies’ loos had gold taps and were immaculate from top to bottom (so …

The Wheatsheaf – Again!
We returned to The Wheatsheaf in Titchmarsh today to meet up with good friends Mick and Jane. We were last here in January, again with Mick and Jane, and we’d chosen today’s repeated visit for the simple reason that previously, we’d all been mighty impressed with the food and service! 👍 We arrived just a …

Here we are at The George in Great Oxendon reuniting with The Northants NuttersⓇ, aka Geoff & Rhonda and Paul & Sue. We last got together for our Warner Weekend at Alveston Hall, back in January and it was good to see everyone again! 😀 As we arrived in the car-park, it was clearly a …

Return to The Wheatsheaf
We met up with Mick & Jane at The Wheatsheaf in Titchmarsh today. Gosh, we haven’t been here for quite a few years. My blog says November, 2016 (also with Mick & Jane)? – but we do have more friends and do know more Pubs, honest! It’s fair to say we’ve been great supporters of …

Return to Great Oxendon
A new year and time to begin resuming many of the enjoyable routines from 2021! 👍 And one of those routines is our regular lunch date with friends and neighbours, David and Valerie. Living where we do means that we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to eateries on our doorstep. We could probably find …
