Firstly I want to thank everyone that took place in the blog hop I organised on Friday - it's great to see so many people taking part and I hope you all found some new interesting reads along the way. Our weekend ended up being busier then I had imagined with finding new places and antique sales, so I'm only finding the time today to check out all those of you who got involved.
We've been eying up one of the newer bars the Red Fox in Royal Oak for a while - why so? Because it called itself an English Pub [its actually more bar like then an English pub]. Crediting itself as serving up British beers and ales [as well some of Michigan's finest booze] alongside traditional British food it was time the British girl was requited with a hint of her homeland and it certainly seems a hit with the Royal Oak residents too. Getting myself a Newcastle Brown - yes I'm an ale girl [served on tap I might add as it is in a lot of bars in the US] we sat out in the evening heat on the rooftop patio.
I eyed up the menu but we only grabbed some "British" chips this time - served on a reprinted and made up version of a London newspaper. They weren't British in the sense of being fat, greasy and chunky but they were more then tasty. Also on the menu were British favourites of fish n chips, chicken tikka malasa, various roasts, mushy peas as a side and trifles. Some of the items weren't necessarily British like the chicken fingers but there was a nice enough mix. We're certainly going back to check out the food at some point.
It made an English girl rather happy.
