The Elm Tree, Beech Hill

Since the previous comments for this pub have been posted, there seems to have been a change in chef at the Elm Tree. It is not expensive, infact it is quite cheap for a country pub. But not just cheap in an inexpensive way, but cheap in a lamintated-menu-with-pictures-of-the-food sort of way.

Once I pealed my menus from the sticky table (there are a choice of two menus - Thia or English), I opted for the English. From that I chose the English fayre. Oh dear. Oh deary, deary me.

It would be unfair to go into frightening detail, only to share with you my two conclusions: 1. Gammon cannot swim. 2. The chef was very apologetic. But then he only came over to me after apologising to another table.

My friends who ate from the Thia menu were, however, delighted.
