Pub lunch is normally a burger and chips, and yes, this was what my dining companion went for. This, with a pint of cider or a nice cold g&t, is summer for me. Today though, something else caught my eye on the menu (well, it's not quite summer yet). And this was a delicious warm salad: pearl barley, roasted squash, blue cheese and pomegranate. All of my favourite things in a bowl apparently. Not the cheapest of pub grub as £12 for a salad, but I tell you, worth every penny.
Pair this with a chilled beer garden, fantastic company, and a diet coke. Well, bring on summer.
