Jess and I serendipitously found the best place to eat for dinner! We were starved, parched, and exhausted, desperate to find food. Justin, our host, recommended a few places to eat, including a TESCO gas station down the block…but while walking we stumbled upon The Rose: pub, grill and garden.
Wonderful atmosphere in the Rose pub/grill/garden
We wandered in, and everything seemed really well prepared and delicious, nor ridiculously expensive. But GET THIS- on Mondays, the food is 50% off! I became so excited by this news that the waitress kept giggling. I was so authentically exuberant about the free ice cold line-cucumber water and focaccia bread I could have cried. We chose a quaint little table by the fire (we asked our waitress, Benedict, where her favorite table was) and pondered over this seemingly unique/unusual menu while listening to the soft acoustic covers of rock songs playing over the speakers. We both ordered different versions of the Rose Salad- mine with grilled chicken, Jess with goat cheese. It was DIVINE. Fresh spring baby greens, avocado, juicy ripe cherry tomatoes, a crisp vinaigrette, a perfectly filling sized serving for only £6!

We floated back to our hostel, taking some comical wrong turns along the way, then climbed into bed with full bellies and grateful hearts.
