A few weeks ago I visited The James Figg to try out their Sunday Roast. The James Figg hadn’t been somewhere I'd considered visiting in recent years. After all, there’s the fellow Peach Pub owned The Thatch, known for its elegant and creative dishes, as well as The Black Horse, serving good food in a recently renovated gastropub interior.

Liza and colleague Paul in tow, we arrived at The Thatch on a Monday lunchtime for a spot of #MondayMotivation in the form of a good pub chow … [Read more...]
