A Club Sandwich Hunt via another Friday Night Pub Crawl

This food hunt entry works backwards from the food and then goes in reverse careering back down hill through the pub crawl. The last stop of the night was at The Roebuck Inn in Nottingham where the default choice of the night had to be a Club Sandwich with Chips described on their menu as “Our signature sandwich, on toasted white bloomer bread, with chicken breast, bacon, tomato, mature Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and lettuce”. It was a significant improvement on the last club sandwich that I was given by the mere fact that it was toasted. Also I like the addition of the wooden stick in the top to add scaffolding to the food, and a slight danger to really stupid people. It was a really good effort, and my abiding memories of this particular chain of pubs is that their food is consistent, if not spectacular

I was slightly sad to find that this sandwich was really quite good as it was from a chain of pubs that swamps the UK like Starbucks blights America, but my excuse was that I really had drunk an awful lot of beer before I reached this final destination, so my sense and sensibilities had fallen well below the standards of the common man. How did this happen? I blame the young Professor Moriarty for leading me a merry dance of real ale through the Lace Market district of Nottingham. First Stop had been at the Kean’s Head, another one of the pubs supplied by the Nottingham Castle Brewery. If there had been a table free we may have eaten here as the menu looked good, and I clocked a pie night that may well be visited in the near future before I return to the States.
