British pub food in Virginia

Megan now has a job and busy most Saturdays. And this past Saturday was no different. Combine this with the two youngest going off to a birthday party, this gave the parents some time to go have fun on their own.

We ended up driving almost 90 miles and making a large loop from our house, north, west, out into Aldie, through Middleburg and on to Upperville. Yet this post is about the Hunter's Head Tavern located in Upperville.

You ordered food at a little window next to the bar. You were then handed a wooden spoon with a number on it. You placed this in the wine bottle on your table so they knew where to bring the order.

Even though it was almost 2:00 in the afternoon the place was still very busy. The food was very standard British Pub Food.

They actually had two menus to choose from. Yet both of us ordered the fish and chips.

And Cheri got some hot chocolate. The crumbs on the plate came from some nice warm bread that was served on the pewter plate.

The fire place was fake....but the food, atmosphere and decorations were spot on.

There was even an Aston Martin sitting in the parking lot.
