The Jackie Horner Pub & Grill Sunday Roast

Taking a slow drive to nowhere turned into an impromptu lunch date at The Jackie Horner Pub & Grill. I had no hesitation in saying yes when my friend Pat called to say she needed to get out; so did I!

Unplanned jaunts often are way more fun than carefully laid plans, don't you think?

First stopover was to meet her daughter at a bowling club - no, we weren't playing bowls! There was a friendly match on, so everyone was dressed casually. It was very sociable and jolly, everyone knew each other, but they made me feel welcome.

The aromas coming from the Lamb on a spit braai (spit BBQ) made us hungry; it was almost lunchtime. The lamb, however, was for a function. Their kitchen was closed for the day, so there was no food to be had at the bowling club this Sunday!

Pat had been to the quaint Jackie Horner Pub & Grill and suggested we go there for lunch. They had a small safe parking space behind remote-controlled gates.

The vibe was very laidback, regulars coming and going, but it was a slow Sunday, just what we wanted! We chose a table inside, and not on the deck, as the weather was starting to turn. It was sunny in the morning, but still a chill in the air.

Looking around, we saw that we'd missed Thursday Quiz Night and Saturday's Karaoke!

Sunday Roast lunch consisted of three meats - roast beef, pork, and chicken, with roast potatoes, roast vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and loads of homemade gravy. It's served with Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce for dessert.
A good old-fashioned Sunday lunch meal of yonder days - real food! It was delicious, but way too big a helping. I'm not a big fan of pork, so I asked them to leave it out.

A happy way to spend the day with a very special friend on a chilly winter's day!

That sounded like a perfect, cozy Sunday outing. Unplanned moments really do create the best memories. The Jackie Horner Pub & Grill seems like a lovely spot with great food and a warm atmosphere.

That dish looks delicious and I agree with you: the best outings are the ones that don't have so much planning. I can tell by your smile that you were having a great time, how nice: those outings with friends are necessary to rejuvenate the soul and apparently, it is a very entertaining place (I think it's great that they have a proposal every day). Good Sunday 🫂

Sunday Roast lunch consisted of three meats - roast beef, pork, and chicken

I thought you meant you get a choice of three. You mean you get all three meat!!! That's a big portion, it will feed for two days! 😄

That's what I also thought! I think the waiter is used to new diners' surprise to hear you get all three; it was way too much! But delicious, I'm having leftovers tonight😉
Have a great Sunday @livinguktaiwan 💕

Yes that's exactly what my friend and I were saying. Her daughter lives around the corner so she and her partner go quite often. Not surprised because they have a good menu and the food is delicious plus a great atmosphere.

Thank you Zac, it was a lovely day. I haven't been out much lately with the house sale and the silly little fracture but I'm starting to drive again. The meal was delicious!

Well let's look at it this way milady, at least you enjoyed the bit of a relief, and some good food.
Yes, selling a house is very stressful, and in your case even worse. Have you found a new nest yet?
Good news that you can drive again, and please be careful not to damage the fracture again.

I am currently on a very strong anti-biotic for 10 days. Already done 2 days, and as a pill hater, the anti-biotics just add to my normal load of pills that I have to take every day. But I am not complaining, as such is life.

!PIZZA and all our !LUV

10 days of antibiotics is awful! I hope it at least does the trick.
I'm not driving long distances, the leg and knee was sore again last night.
I still haven't found a home, my brother wants me to be absolutely sure so it's got to tick all the boxes, so looks like I may stay with them for a while and put my furniture into storage, he'll arrange that. Am looking up that way, they know the area and are worried about the old sister 😉

True, and now my balance is off when I walk, but the wife steers me around safely.
Sorry to see that you also have a painful leg, but now please stop the competition with me !LOL
You have a great brother, and it is wise to take time as a desperate purchase most times turns into tears.
Be glad that you have someone, or many that worry about you.
Take care and know that you are in our prayers. 🙏

Hi @nanixxx, the food was really delicious, wish I lived closer because I would love to go to one of their fun evening events. It was a lovely day with my friend. Thank you for popping in 🌻

One of these late afternoons or evenings, you should sneak away and join in… it’s the kind of plan you can just go for... or... does it require a lot of planning?

You're welcome, it's a pleasure to read you! 😉

Wow, that dish looks exquisite and is very well presented, the food goes through the eyes. The Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce completed the menu. Cheers.

That's a lot of yummy food and good thing the restaurant donate some percentage of their sale to less fortunate.

It is great, and they're transparent with the donation, so it's not just a marketing ploy. Very nice vibe there:)
