It was my birthday in July and it rained all day. We were staying next door in an Airbnb house (worthy of another post), so booked a table at the Six Bells old pub, 300 years old, and the rain went away for the short walk. We wore masks but the staff didn’t which really surprised me and the waitress dropped our drinks on a tray next to us, less than a metre. There was hand sanitiser close to the entrance. We sat next to the fireplace which was a bit dark and dreary in summer. For starters we had a seafood platter which was very nice. We had lamb shanks for main and a meat pie. I had a ribeye steak which was large and tender. I couldn’t manage the chips and veg as am not a big eater. It was my first meal out since lockdown. We didn’t try the lovely sounding desserts because I had a birthday cake “at home”. We left through the back garden as per instructions. It was too dark to see the garden. It was a nice meal. I feel some renovations might brighten things up, although it must be cosy on a wintery night.
