and I took a trip to the Tap and Vine for lunch on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. Situated in Liverpool Road in Higher Penwortham, they describe themselves on Facebook as ‘a micro-pub serving a variety of cask ales, specialist lagers, fine wines and a large selection of g’.I’m not well-up on real ale culture so I googled ‘what’s G?’ According to a helpful young man called Thug4life on a website called The Urban Dictionary, G stands for Gangsta, which was unexpected.
Fortunately for many teenagers they’re heading towards the ‘fun times in pubs’ part of their lives, but unfortunately for the over 50s this period can be our last hurrah before one day suddenly finding ourselves all over a hot pot supper and a bingo card like white on rice.
The fries were good old-fashioned chips that looked and tasted like they might be home-made, as did the mushy peas. I ordered the local platter, described on the menu as local carved ham and cheeses from Dewlay’s of Garstang, pate, pork pie and Scotch egg served with piccalilli and real ale chutney, celery sticks, apple, grapes and salad accompanied by crackers and artisan bread. It is generally for two and costs £18.50 but there is an option to have an individual version for £8.95, so I went for that one.
It was a great sized portion for the money and, unlike a lot of eateries, the kitchen avoided the crime of not giving diners enough bread and crackers to accompany the rest of the food to the end.
