I was in Oxfordshire for work, attending a conference in Oxford. I booked to stay in the Milton Hill House hotel close to Abingdon. I would then catch the Park & Ride into the heart of Oxford for the event.
I had dinner in the hotel, and for my main course I had the grilled pork cutlet, and then after that I had the selection of British cheeses which came with chutney, grapes, celery and water biscuits.
I had three cheeses cheddar, stilton, and brie. I did wonder if this was Somerset brie, but brie is not really a British cheese, much more a French one really. I didn’t worry and I didn’t ask, as I like brie anyhow.
Compared to other times I have had cheese and biscuits, these were quite generous portions of cheese. I enjoyed the chutney and I even ate the grapes. I don’t eat celery, so that was left. I also found the water biscuits unappetising. They looked strange, guessing they were some kind of artisan water biscuit. Personally I would have preferred some Carr’s water biscuits, or some bread. So I ate all the cheese, the grapes, most of there chutney, but left the celery and the biscuits. Nice plate of cheese though.
