I've only ever been in two waterside pub (view of the water) in my life. The angel at Henley on Thames. That's one pub, surely? I went in there twice.

Gods teeth I'm getting some real memory problems. I have also been to the pub by the Thames at Radcot. Crap. And the George and Dragon at Wargrave. Reasonable.
And the swan at Staines. Oh dear it's all coming flooding back to me. I had blocked out all this due to PTSD problems.
I've never been in a waterside pub by myself though.

Been for a late breakfast with a good friend to The Windmill at Parbold today, I had a great veggie option cooked breakfast, my friend had a traditional cooked one. Hers was pretty good overall but the eggs were just too underdone, sloppy and white slimy on top as pictured below..Not too good really, considering the ยฃ8.95 price tag. She wasnt overly impressed, although I thought they looked ok! How do you like your fried eggs done?

What pissed her off was, as she was eating said egg, the undercooked egg white slopped down her chin and, because she didn't have a napkin to hand, dripped onto her blouse!
I don't think she appreciated me giggling, chastising me saying 'that's another washload I'll have to do' ! ๐
Bloody Windmill...Wont be taking her there again!๐

You can put that pic in another thread. Did they forget the plate, looks like they served straight into the tray.

This is just a blokey thread...its as bad as the rugby one..... Just trying to avoid any of the TB massiv being disappointed at their breakfast should they stop on the L & L๐ I can recommend Wetherspoons in Ormskirk if you prefer a well cooked fried egg๐

Three isn't enough. Mentions must go to:- Britannia, Northampton. Chef and Brewer but always been OK when we have gone there. Short mooring. Queens head, Nassington. Not cheap but a brilliant mooring in a lovely village. Five miles from anywhere, Upware. Cheapish eats, good music, provisions and access to the Lodes for dog walking. Good moorings if the Cambridge Motor Boat club haven't hogged them all. The Cutter, Ely. Outrageously expensive but we'll located on Ely riverside right by Fairlight's birth place. Lazy Otter, Stretham. Good well priced food. 36' limit for patrons craft. Ferryboat, Hollywell. Stunning location, good food and drink, sadly we don't get that way every year. If we are talking Anglian Waterways then we had a very nice pint in the Falcon at Fotheringhay after a visit to the church with its display of Mary, Queen of Scots information. On the Middle Level at March, the Ship Inn is as close to the moorings as it is possible to get. On the Great Ouse then I recommend the Royal Oak. Not on the river but only a short walk, run by a boater and good selection of interesting real ale. Moving up river the Cock at Hemingford Grey is a bit foody but does have a separate bar with local ales. In Huntingdon the pub of choice would be the Falcon with 15 handpumps and just right after visiting the Cromwell Museum. If thats too far to walk the the Old Bridge has its own moorings, serves 2 or 3 well kept local ales although a bit pricey and has an excellent restaurant and wine list. If you venture even further upstream then make a point of mooring at Great Barford. The Anchor sits on the green opposite the moorings and is ideal for sitting in the sun, pint in hand, whilst watching the antics at the lock on one hand and boats negotiating the narrow bridge arches on the other.

The Falcon was on the naughty step last time we went! Ely I could get lost for a day in the pubs Huntingdon we pass through without stoping, I ought to make the effort and give it a chance, perception is coloured by how attractive the town is by road (not bloody very!) Great Barford is what I consider the limit of useful navigation, lovely place. That said, once you make the effort to get to Bedford the Barn's has a useful little mooring and Priory Marina is OK, the beefeater next door serves OK grub too.
