Peat Spade Inn, Longstock
We met up with the extended family (all twelve of us) for a leisurely Sunday lunch at the Peat Spade Inn in the beautiful Hampshire village of Longstock, tucked in among a ribbon of thatched cottages along a narrow road.
Nice simple lunch menu:
Lentil & bacon soup
Salt cod puree, poached egg, hollandaise sauce, on toasted brioche
Waldorf salad
Roast pork, apple sauce
Haddock and chips
Glamorgan sausages
Bakewell tart, clotted cream
Chocolate tart
Spotted dick
Back in time to watch the second half of the rugby!
..and what a half. But we have to score 30 points just to account for Wilkinson in a couple of weeks time.
So, an English team playing rugby at the home of Gaelic sport. Pretty momentous, I’d say.
And I had no idea who to cheer for!!
