A Working Holiday!

Lest anyone think Janet is doing nothing but vacationing, she wants qyou to know she is also on a research mission.  Her mission, should she choose to accept it, is to ascertain her version of the Best Fish and Chips ( otherwise known as Battered Local Fish and Chips in the UK).

First up and two times around:  The Old Thatched Inn.
This place was incredible.  Second visit, the bar manager already knew what they wanted to drink.  Exceptional!

Next up, The Mole and The Chicken:
Janet says this pub was in a remote location.  Having said that, she also says there are many, many villages everywhere that are within two or three miles of each other.

Last contender, and trust us, Janet has sampled others in between:  Dundas Arms which is were they are spending the last three nights.
They really like staying here at the end of the trip as it's in a small village, has great food and rooms with many  fantastic pubs nearby and is only about an hour from Heathrow.

The verdict...it was really tough but came down to The Old Thatched Inn and The Mole and the Chicken.  The latter won as their tartar sauce was just a teeny tiny bit better than The Old Thatched Inn.

Janet and Phil will be home soon...we can't wait to see them.  Just so you know, previous to all this fish and chip testing, this is what Janet used to look like.
