When I visited last June they had a pretty good menu . I had a lovely pie and mash and mushy peas.

What pub grub isn't is nacho chips with half a bottle of tomato ketchup a sprinkling of cheese and a hint of sour cream. Just in case I ever suggest it again Dave, we are not to order food at the Hatchet, no matter how much I think I need to soak up the Best.
Nachos......A victory for the recycling woodchip industry. Flavourless rubbish that only tastes of what you pour onto it. Lawd knows what the profit margin is on that dish.
Great for soaking up beer though. At least they should be, not convinced that tomato ketchup is the way to make them palatable though, it really was the sort of effort I would have been proud of making when I was 8.
I was going to say that the last time I found filled rolls wrapped in cling film was in the Great Western in Wolverhampton, but then I remembered that the King & Castle in Kidderminster still offers these culinary delights... Something to do with pubs which have railway associations?
I've just joined Alcoholics Anonymous - I still drink, just under a different name.
The Apsley House in Southsea also provides these delights, as well as standard pub grub, oh and great beers from Downton brewery http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/13956/
As for pub grub I worked with those bread rolls in clingfilm (we are going back to 1989 though) some were sat on that shelf all day, never thought about putting them on/in a cooler. I like to think about it as The 'Subway' of the day.
Then my boss thought she would branch out to meals, she did have a big kitchen there. Then one Monday new people turned up and I had to run to Morrisons to buy frozen chips & the rest. They had all finished their drinks and gone before she had cooked anything, don't blame them for leaving.
Great pub, but why go down the 'food' route in the late 80's early 90's? We had cigs and everything.
ps. The cling film rolls tasted quite nice and got me into eating salad. Perhaps squashed tomatoes and lettice just taste good?
