Having had a nice Ploughman’s Lunch at Killerton House when I visited there back in February, on a recent visit to Stourhead, I decided I would have it again.
What I got was a little different to what I had before.
This plate had two chunks of cheese, one cheddar, and one stilton. There was some sliced apple chunks, two slice of pork pie, red onion chutney, two pickled onions, a pickled gherkin, and a rather limp salad. There was no bread and no coleslaw.
The cheese and pork pie was nice, but the salad did not look very fresh. It was the start of the lunch time, which made me think, was it yesterday’s salad. The pork pie was very good and better than the sausage roll I had at Killerton.
I didn’t question the missing bread, as I thought maybe this one didn’t have bread. However when I left the cafe I saw a photo of the lunch on the wall and it had bread. I would have complained, but the place was packed and there were long queues, and I thought, what would they do. Same reason why I didn’t complain about the salad.
I probably would order this again though, I think the issues were a one off.
