Just for a break, (I'm hungry...) a quick post on some food related images from the trip.
Grimsthorpe Castle - the local meat products are amongst the best in the country and a bacon buttie first thing was a good start.
Motorway stops in the UK have improved considerably since the appalling stuff offered from 1959. Harry Ramsden's is best known as a fish and chip franchise, but I thought it somewhat ironic that they had a good continuous queue for their traditional British Breakfast - but the so called healthy option next door, didn't. HR's was quite a good breakfast too.
Goodwood 'across the road' has a huge range of food outlets and this is one I didn't sample.
But this is one I started at, on two of the three days. Excellent cheese on toast and a cup of coffee was just what I needed - and the next person on the queue was Kiwi... (Note the standard of dress.)
Simple tasty food - and an opportunity in NZ I am sure. Just the one option offered. Two slices of cooked to order toast per portion, topped with Cheddar and Parmesan - and the coffee was OK too - with two delightful young ladies doing the serving.
The other good stop, just behind Woodcote corner was the very tasty steak and ale pie, with mash and mushy peas - washed down with a local cider.
Other good food was the Station café behind the start and finish stand with a superb toasted meatball sub and a stall selling fairly good Thai curry. Needless to say, prices are a bit on the high side, as is the case with any event of this nature.
