After an exhausting two and a half hour ride from Kent, we stopped by for lunch at the Sherborne Arms, in the pretty little town of Northleach in the Cotswolds. Northleach is not one of the better known Cotswold tourist spots, like Broadway, Stow or Bourton on the Water, but it has a charming market square, a smattering of attractive ivy-covered pubs, and a 13th Century church to boot.

The Sherborne is bang on the Market Square and, on the day we went, fairly popular, as the bar was heaving with people drinking, eating and, er, more drinking. We sat with our junior agents in the bar area, across from a man with a d.a. and another man who appeared to be asleep with a full pint of lager in front of him.

Chris and Marie Perkins have taken over this place. It is a beatuiful stone-walled place with beams in the ceiling. Herb garden and patio. They serve excellent food and wine---it is so good, they could charge twice as much if they moved to London. All the meal is accompanied by fresh, warm le miche bread with black olive and pimento butter---wonderful. Examples of food are: slowly-braised Welsh lamb shanks with wild mushroom and red wine jus.

We ate at Tatyan's on the recommendation of the proprieter of a B&B in Cirencester. The food was good--what there was of it! The portions were extremely skimpy, even by European standards. We started with spring rolls. For the main meal we ordered Yeung Chow Fried Rice (our server assured us it would easily serve two) and Kung Po Chicken (again, enough for two). The spring rolls were superb! We thought, we made an excellent choice.
