We went for a family visit today. On a bit of a random basis we went for a pub lunch, a pub called The Silent Woman. We had the Sunday Roast, Elayne and Meg had the Roast Beef, I had the Pork.
I’m quite happy to say that it was one of the best pub roasts I have had in a Very long time. There was no scrimping on anything, even the gravy. Really quite delicious, It’s not the first time we’ve been to the Silent Woman, the food has always been good, this was excellent.
Every time we go to the pub, we always wonder about the name, and where it came from. It appears that the pub was once a smugglers haunt, and a woman who lived or worked there had a reputation for being a bit talkative. The smugglers, to make sure she stayed quiet, the smugglers cut out her tongue.
That’s a bit gruesome.
