Wendover

Now that I commute to Amersham everyday, I pass though a few little villages in the Home Counties. Wendover is the last one before I hit Amersham. I met Marc for a little stroll in Wendover Woods, parking in the car park is not free, £1.50 for up to two hours, bring change, there isn't much service there to do the pay by phone thing as Marc and I discovered.

After walking up an appetite, we moseyed on down to the town to find a pub for a Sunday lunch. We settled on The Village Gate. Originally, I chose the pork, but it came out too fatty and thanks to Marc being the assertive Londoner asked to change it to the beef, a much better choice. I liked this one as they use local meat and veg, ever since watching Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall's Chicken Out! and Fish Fight campaigns, I've been a lot more conscious about what I choose on a menu when eating out. If you are what you eat, I'd rather be a free range, sustainably caught piece of meat rather than a battery farmed one.

We had dessert in Rumsey's Chocolaterie where they make their own chocolates, I splashed out on calories on got a six piece selection from the chocolate counter. Needless to say it was very indulgent and simply scrumptious!
