Sunday roast and a life in the countryside

It's nice to get out of the city once in a while. And a day in the countryside is always perfectly complemented by lunch in a traditional English Pub. And on a Sunday it really has to be Sunday Roast - of course with all the trimmings! After eight years in England I am even growing fond of gravy!

The other week, we stopped in Steyning, West Sussex on our way down to Brighton. Steyning is a small village with around 5,800 villagers. It comes with cute little houses and I would love to live in one of them. I wouldn't want to have to commute in to London though. So, unfortunately, as long as I haven't won the lottery and while I still have to work, it's probably not going to happen.

We will return for more Sunday Roasts though at Whites bar & kitchen! I enjoyed the Limousin Sussex Sirloin of Beef, and my partner had the South Downs Slow Roast Leg of Lamb - both came with dripping roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding (I never quite understand the concept of this piece of dough - but it's delicious!), cauliflower cheese and fresh local vegetables and of course gravy.
