A night at the oldest freehouse in Britain!!

I had an amazing weekend of eating, throwing all my healthy eating from last week out of the window! It started with a late-night Chinese on Friday, and then on Saturday I went to meet Jenni for lunch. We met at the Elephant and Castle tube station, and walked down to Borough to Joe's Kitchen in Marshalsea Road. It was packed and has an amazing breakfast menu. I went for the poached egg on English muffins with bacon and hollandaise sauce, which was £9.25. And I had orange juice and lemonade (£2.95), which was really nice.
Jenni went for the poached eggs, bubble and squeak with bacon, with hollandaise sauce. (£7.75).
Then in the evening went to The Royal Standard of England in Knotty Green which is supposed to the oldest freehouse in England. It's an amazing pub and one I would definitely recommend. I went there with Tom and his family. I had the mussels for starters, which were ok but they weren't creamy enought for me, although there was lots of them! I then had fish pie, which was really good followed by Eton Mess. Overall a really good pub meal.
Then to top it all off Tom and I went to O'Neill's the next day and I had the All Day Irish Breakfast (£6.95). It was actually really nice! Better than I expected. The sausages were really tasty as was the white pudding, which I love.
I went to bed with a very full tummy on Sunday night. All good food.
