With family living all over the country, it isn't always easy for us all to get together. With one sister working in Ghana and one helping mum in London navigate her way to Olympic training, it was down to me and the youngest to entertain Dad today.
Living in Newark, we're lucky enough to live near to some lovely villages with some gorgeous pubs which I'm sure you'll hear about in future blogs. Today we went for a lovely Sunday lunch in Farndon.
Farndon Boathouse is part of the same group who owns Tom Browns in Gunthorpe and the Riverbank on Trent Bridge. All are great pubs, serving great food in an atmosphere that feels nice but not too formal. If you live in or about Nottingham, you have to try one of these!

We have been to Farndon Boathouse once before for dinner. We went to one of their Sunday sessions, as the band playing at our wedding (The Herb Birds) were playing so we wanted to have a sneak preview of some of their songs. So we decided to take Dad there again today. And it was a big hit.
We had a great table by the window overlooking the river. The menu was a good mix of Sunday lunch and other dishes, but we all opted for Sunday lunch.
We ate:
Dad: roast chicken terrine, roast leg of lamb, Cromwell bishop Stilton wrapped in Parma ham
Ellie: Deep fried whitebait, roast sirloin of beef, lemon tart with raspberry sorbet
Chris: Broccoli soup with goats cheese ravioli, roast leg of lamb, chocolate parfait
Me: Broccoli soup with goats cheese ravioli, roast sirloin of beef, lemon tart with raspberry sorbet
All delicious, Dad was happy and a lovely lunch all round. For anyone who lives nearby or is passing through, the Farndon Boathouse is a definite must for a lovely lunch by the river. Perfect way to celebrate having such a wonderful dad!
We will be there again soon - maybe for a boozy Friday brunch where they have live music - cant wait!
