Early start for a Monday as we for the ten to ten bus to Trent Bridge for the women's ashes last day.
We heard someone singing and looked up above the music bar inside the ground and it was Steve McGill, Rona's husband performing. Very well I hasten to add. We waved and headed to the Rushcliffe road stand and got settled.
It started out looking like England had a slight chance of at least drawing level, but that soon disappeared as more wickets fell. Shame, and it was a quick game, with us being out the ground by 12.40, Steve bought us his lunch voucher which was lovely of him, as he wouldn't need it, we have stashed that for another game when we shall stay longer. We decided to go to the William Gunn for lunch. Having heard about it opening, but hadn't got chance to try it out.
Glad we did too, as it was lovely. Food was excellent, I had the fish and chips and Kev had a Panini with brie and bacon. They do lunch specials for £8.50, well worth it, I had a couple of their mocktails too, a maiden mule with ginger ale, rosemary and lime. Very refreshing on what was a cloudy but warm day. I think you can safely say we will go back. Not as expensive as Larwood and Voce, but the food was on par quality wise. It means we have a couple of nice pubs to visit in that vicinity.
The TBI is OK but, can get too busy and you feel as if you need to rush if you go for food in there, whereas in both William Gunn and The Navigation you feel comfortable and welcome to stay as long as you like.
