For a good-value pub lunch.....

.....you could do a lot worse than the Victory (Staplefield).

The old place has had a recent makeover, and is spotless. Even the carpark has been re-laid with gravel.
Margo had a cheese and ham toastie and I had a mature cheddar Ploughmans, both really generous helpings.

Will be using this as a stop-off point for the coast again.

I miss a good ploughmans!! The best one i had was in whitby, N. Yorks. Were a right good'un. You can get a beast of a ploughmans in various village pubs in Oxfordshire too!

Margo and I had a very nice lunchtime meal in a restaurant today where there were no markings on the floor, not a mask in sight and nothing more than hand sanitisers to suggest that we are battling through an epidemic. They even took cash !

'Twas The Orchard restaurant at West Grinstead..........long ago used to be the Tabby Cat PH.

2 x Jacket potato with Prawn Marie filling, butter, mayo, cole slaw and side salad, 2 x Bulmers Original ciders; still had change from £20.

I hope Marie didn't mind!
