♥ Ceri makes... had a lovely weekend at home to celebrate one of my oldest friend's Rachel's birthday. All six of my girls from school and I strolled along the country lane from Rachel's mum's house to The Salutation Inn. The pub has recently been taken over by the very welcoming new team headed up by Dave and Eva. It is cosy but still super spacious inside with a beautiful high beamed barn ceiling. The large restaurant area indicates this pub is very much focused on good food, a quick browse of the locally sourced menu is enough to confirm this.
The girls and I eagerly awaiting our supper...
Some of the delicious food at our table...
My personal choice, the duck, most definitely scores ten out of ten from me. Other popular choices included the hake and the pork belly, yummy!
A must visit spot if you are exploring the beautiful Cotswolds village of Castle Combe and surrounding areas!

♥ Ceri makes... and so Christmas day has come and gone! After a relaxing day at home in the countryside with lots of good food, drink and rather a lot of lovely presents we ventured out to a nearby village for a Boxing day lunch. MummyB had chosen The Long Arms at South Wraxall and a good choice it was indeed!
Despite having eaten far too much on Christmas day I managed to find room for even more today! For starter I had the smoked salmon blinis with pickled cucumber (the salmon is smoked on site at the pub's smokehouse), roast lamb breast for main accompanied by some Indian Pale Ale as recommended on the beer kitchen menu, followed by homemade pistachio ice cream for desert. I will be having a go at making some pickled cucumber with the River Cottage Preserves book that AuntyC & co got me for Christmas, so much more scrumptious than it may sound.
After such a lovely lunch I've whiled away the afternoon on the sofa with the cat reading my bookclub book The Help in preparation for our January meet!
♥ Ceri makes... xx
