The Bounty in Bourne End

IT was quite possibly the first sunny day of the year on Sunday! And to celebrate I thought a stroll in the sunshine and some lunch was in order. I dragged Tom along (!) and we walked down to Bourne End marina, which is a lovely spot. I have never been there before and I was really impressed. There are quite a few pubs around but we decided to go to The Bounty, which is the other side of the river.
It is really quirky with lots of stuff all over the walls from funny stories to icing skates. There are old fashioned pub games, lots of outside seating and lots of dogs!
It was so sunny so everybody was out and about. You queue to order in a conveyer belt style, and this is food and drink, but it makes everything quicker so that's ok.
I went for the beef lasagne with chips and salad (£9.95). It is served on a big silver platter, which isn't the classiest, but it is a big portion.
And the food was good pub food. The lasagne was well cooked with tasty beef, and perhaps a bit too much cheese for me. The chips were well cooked and the only let down was the lack of salad.
Tom went for one of the burgers, which also looked really good.
I would recommend this pub for a nice sunny day, especially if you sit outside by the river.
