A few years ago we were into the habit of going to Le Petit Blanc in Oxford to celebrate birthdays. We were going to revive this tradition until we read a review of the Elephant in Pangbourne by Paddy Birt, in one of my favourite Saturday paper columns, Room Service.
Paddy Birt reviews the hotel far more eloquently than I can. But suffice to say I agree that the hotel has a stylish tea plantation feel. The food in the restaurant was good, classic food cooked well at sensible prices.
My starter was a ducks egg served with black pudding, crispy bacon and baby spinach. After dinner Ruth and I left mum and dad to stay the night.
Ruth and I came back on Sunday morning to pick mum and dad up. Before we headed home we went for a walk down by the Thames.
