Lunch at Thurnham Hall

My folks are in a holiday club called "Diamond Resorts International" (previously known as Sunterra). One of the properties owned by Diamond is Thurnham Hall. When we go up to Blackburn to visit them we like to call in at Thurnham Hall for lunch. It's a lovely place and anyone is welcome to pop along for a spot of lunch. It is not "members only" contrary to popular opinion. Here's a brief description lifted from http://web.thurnhamhall.com/


"Thurnham Hall is a 12th century country house that stands proudly in a stunning estate of nearly 30 acres. Boasting an elegant Jacobean Great Hall, the resort combines the very best of old and new.The Hall is located in the tiny hamlet of Thurnham, situated just five miles south of Lancaster, England"


The food is great, the service is excellent, the setting is idyllic and the restaurant is bright, warm and inviting. I would recommend a visit if you find yourself wanting to dine in a beautiful setting in close proximity to Lancaster.

Our visit today was no exception to previous experience. A lovely pint of draught Black Sheep Ale and a lovely piece of fish with chunky chips and mushy peas. There is a good amount of choice on the menu but I tend to fall back to old favourites. I can't help myself! It's the kind of menu that's not stupidly long but does feature some great dishes that leave you torn between 3 or 4 starters and 3 or 4 mains.
