Sandra only just logged on only if I had been on earlier you could have come round to ours. How far do you want to travel Sandra for another day maybe only the Button Oak just outside Bewdley do a lovely dinner with vegi's they grow in their own garden. The meat is from a local supplier too. Bye. Jean.
 
Claridges in Mayfair do quite a nice Sunday Nosh....

But if you add the train fare does it not make it expensive?:D.

I try to make a point of never eating in a place where they expect a tip.That adds 15% to the meal straight off.Its not that I am mean with money just tightfisted!
 
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your suggestions about best sunday lunches.
We ended up at THE ENGLISH HOUSE at LICHFIELD lovely meal,with fresh vegetables (not frozen ),and lovely puddings, also free glass of wine.Will be definately be going back.
Sandra
 
That sounds lovely San what was the cost [cheeky]. Mind you would rather pay extra if its fresh veg. like the free glass of wine too. Bye. Jean.
 
I used to love my Sunday dinner, we were not posh enough to call it lunch, I have done all the cooking since I retired in 1995, when Enid was alive some weeks she say I will cook today, she would do the veg and put everything on and when it was nearly ready she would say, oh I cant be
bothered, you put it out. After she died I thought someone would. realize i was on my own and invite me round! but no. In the last fifteen
months I have out twice, both times to my daughters at Crewe!
I am not. complaining but had this been the good old times things might have
been differant.They say you only reap what you sow.

Bernard what really annoys me are people who complain about older men going to Wetherspoons and such like and taking up space. They dont realise people get fed with their own company and I hated eating on my own. Even if you sit on your own and never speak you dont feel alone. Cooking for yourself I found pretty depressing, eating it even more so.
What I would do is ask about any luncheon clubs in your area. It can seem quite an effort but could well be worth it. Or even better start your own dining group, you will be surprised how many people would love to share a meal.......regards...arkrite.

PS find yourself a good carvery and you can have Sunday Lunch any day of the week.
 
Arkrite,

I think that is a really good suggestion you have made to Bernard. I know recently we stopped at The Railway Dorridge, and couldn't find a table, because of a luncheon club.
Few people like cooking for themselves, or eating by themselves. I hope you find somewhere like that Bernard. How did the song go 'What good is sitting alone in your room, come watch us cook and pay.' Something like that!

Tame Otter in Hopwas between Tamworth and Lichfield or the Pretty Pigs at shuttington just outside Tamworth both do excellent food and Sunday lunches
