I love going out to eat and living in North Devon there are loads of wonderful country pubs, this time my friend Emma and I chose a pub called Thatch in village called Croyde - a gorgeous costal village. We went all had and had starter, mains and puddings!
Here is what we had:
Deep fried brie with a salsa dip and creamy garlic mushrooms with bread and butter.
Such generous portion sizes! After having a bit of a rest and digesting the first two courses, we somehow found room for pudding! Chocolate fudge brownie and baked cheesecake. Both with Devonshire clotted cream.
This whole meal came to £30.59 for both of us! Seriously good value! The main meals with 2 for £12 and the puddings were 2 for £6 which helped the budget. The atmosphere in the pub is amazing, such a chilled, relaxed vibe. Lots of surfers pop by for a swift pint. I love the thatched roof and county style decor with wooded beams on the ceiling.
What are your fav places to eat near you? I love chains such as Prezzo and Pizza Express, Ask and so on but most of all I love the local, independent pubs and cafes, they all have their own style and quirkiness.
Wow, you are really making me miss British food...
