Feast your Eyes on Pub Grub


Pub food gets a bad rap and I don't understand why. Even as a semi-vegetarian, I find lots of great choices. And of course, it's all washed down with the local brew on tap.
On our first night in the theater district we chose the Angel and Crown pub at random and truly enjoyed the fare. The next night's meal at a French bistro was less memorable, but it was part of our theater reservation and got us to the opera on time.
We also stopped at a pub catering to the international residents of London in the Bayswater neighborhood. The friendly young woman behind the bar was from Zaragoza in Spain and  made us feel truly welcome.
Our favorite meal so far has been the one at the local pub in the little village near Hampton Court. The Albion was filled with locals and even their dogs on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The barkeeps were cheerful and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.
