INTRODUCTION
Welcome to my third post about our family day out in Norwich on Thursday. For those who missed them, the first two posts were:
I hope that you will enjoy this post and be inspired to share it.
LUNCH AT THE BELGIAN MONK
A DELAYED START
A combination of rigid adherence to a silly rule (no one under 16 to sit in the bar area) and the fact that the place was busy meant that we had to wait a few minutes before a table large enough for five became available.
THE BEER
The beer was superb – I had a Petrus Dubbel Bruin and a Grimbergen Dubbel both of which were splendid drinks. I got some photos of logos etc…
THE FOOD
My sister and my mother both opted for mussels, which come with a ‘sconce’ of chips…
I opted for a steak and Belgian beer pie, which was good overall but loses marks for failing to be a proper pie – it was that thoroughly annoying and difficult to eat cheat, a casserole with a ridiculously puffy layer of puff pastry on top. The chips, were excellent. Taking into account the overall quality, and inflicting three penalty points for cheating, I award the meal 6.5 out of 10.
I have a few remaining pics from the Belgian Monk to share,..
