A nice day out.

Started off with a delicious lunch - in a garden centre!
Roast beef, roast potatoes, good 'proper' Yorkshire puds and lots of vegs.

We were supposed to be going to Burton Constable Hall Gardens - near Hull - but the weather was so bad we did not feel like gardens in the rain! Instead we stayed local and pootled about through Pocklington, Dunnington, and the 'wolds' in general. Stopped for tea at another garden centre near Stamford Bridge on the way back.

Might sound a bit boring - but it wasn't - the friends I was with are such good company. Both very witty and interesting conversationalists, and it is always fun to be with them.

The time went all too quickly,

d00d - believe me - it was delicious, tender, perfectly cooked, locally sourced roast beef! 4 x large slices of it - and it came with a little pot of homemade horseradish sauce - the sort that makes your eyes water! My friends opted for pork -and said it was just as good.

... sounds excellent, just didn't know you could get lunch in a garden centre.

Re: A nice day out.

This particular one is famous for it's food - but I had never been for Sunday lunch before - will certainly go again!

Quite the opposite d00d, there are several Garden Centres in this neck of the woods that serve better food than some of the restaurants. We visit about ten locally and have never been disappointed.

Haven't had the pleasure of the one at Stamford Bridge yet Silver Tabby, the nearest one we visit is 'Dean's' just outside York....Excellent good value food.

A brilliant day out is to be had at Burton Constable Tabby, we spent the day there for my birthday last year, went round the House and Grounds and took lunch in the cafe'....Recommended.... Best done in nice weather though....
