Pie...

I was so impressed with this meal I have just got to post it!!!


I don't normally do foodie posts... so this is probably a one off!  but.. I have to say after a 'rest' day of doing van chores, a wee bit of shopping, a couple of esoteric crags - the weather was seriously wild so we took ourselves off across the camping field to the Oak Hill Inn, ( in Oak Hill nr Radstock) for a pie and a pint.

All I'm going to say is it was the BEST steak and ale pie I have EVER had in a pub!!!! 



None of this namby pamby 'healthy' pastry just balanced on the top milarky- proper pie!!!! Beer was excellent too!

It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
