Eating Along the River Thames: Richmond's Riverside Restaurant Reviews
I sometimes wonder whether I should change the name of this blog to
'Eating along the River Thames', because we do a lot of it. But there's a
good reason for this. I see our weekends on the boat as a chance to get
away from it all and relax. For me that means not having to cook,
clean and wash up (in a tiny sink). So I take porridge & fruit for
breakfast - and I make the porridge in advance by mixing it with apple
juice and yogurt. Not only is it delicious, but it also eliminates the
need to cook. And I take some cold cuts for lunch - although if we're
going on long walk we often stop off at a country pub for a bite to eat
instead. And in the evening we head to the nearest cafe or restaurant
for dinner. Needless to say, as we've been spending quite a lot of time
on the river since we got our boat last September, we've been to quite a
few: La Bodega, the Sweet Olive, The Angel on the Bridge, Cafe Buendia and the Royal China in Henley; The Bull in Sonning; Ye Olde Dog & Badger in Medmenham; the Flower Pot in Aston; The Olde Bell in Hurley; The Ferry in Cookham; The Miller of Mansfield and the Pierrepont Cafe in Goring; the Ferryboat Inn in Whitchurch on Thames; Villa D'este in Marlow; the Stag & Huntsman
in Hambleden ...and the list goes on. So you see, that's why I wonder
whether I should rename this blog ' Eating Along the River Thames' and
become a riverside restaurant reviewer. They say everyone has a book
in them ... I have three: Richmond's Riverside Restaurant Reviews, How
to Avoid Becoming a Boating Blob (I'll have to come up with some kind of
exercise routine if I'm going to be eating out every weekend!) and
Could you be a TV expert (a work book). I'll keep you posted.
