On Tuesday evening, Kevin and Sue took us out for dinner at a nearby pub not far from their home. The place is called "The Cat and the Fiddle". It claims to be more than 400 years old and one of the oldest pubs in England. It stands on the site of a hospice run by monks in the 11th century. In the 19th century it was a favorite gathering place for smugglers and highwaymen.
A modern addition was built onto it, but the original building still has a thatched roof.
I ordered a very traditional, British dish... their home-baked meat pie. The pie of the day was chicken and leek. It was served with gravy and mashed potatoes with spring onions, roasted carrots and greens.
It was a lovely evening with delicious food and good company in a historic setting.
