The Food

6 – Pickled Onion. The Onion was good, but slightly too acidic.

9 – Pickle. The Pickle was outstanding!

9 – Cheese / Ham – Outstanding selection and quantity of Cheeses, although it somewhat controversially included Brie, it was local and I loved it.

8 – Bread. I suspect a Par baked bread, but it was fantastic and slightly warm and lovely.

3 – Spread (better be butter, or a choice). Butter, packet variety.

5 – Presentation. Presentation was outstanding.

5 – Salad, etc. Salad was out of the world good.  All fresh, good dressing, freshly made coleslaw – I want to give it 10 out of 5…….

5 – Originality. So much fresh stuff, and the grapes were a lovely touch.  Well balanced flavours – and lots of it too!
