Lunch at Brits

Image
There is a new place in town and guess what!   Authentic British Fare! They certainly set the tone walking up to the entrance! My view from the booth gave me a feeling of actually being  in England with a photograph of the queen over the mantel and the flags of the United Kingdom flying. A complementary plate of freshly made crisps were served while we waited for our meal.   They tasted wonderful with my British beer called Bass "The Pale Ale"  I'm not familiar with beers and asked for something light.  This was their recommendation and was very refreshing and delicious with the meal. I ordered a beef and vegetable pastie with mash and peas and carrots.  The pastie was freshly made at the restaurant with their own crust.  It's slightly thicker than our American made pie crust but very tasty. The "mash"  on the side was mashed potatoes, thicker than ours, and so delicious. Real potatoes of course....
