Al fresco dining is increasingly becoming the trend thanks to Covid - so I thought I d return to one of my favourite restaurants to see how it has moved with these slightly odd times
It was April, slightly blowy and there was a chill in the air when we turned up at The Pig - near Bath, but still, it was like hugging an old friend after a long time apart when I pulled into the long gravelled drive leading up to this wonderful place.
My husband and I were booked in to try al fresco dining at the hotel s restaurant - at the time Covid restrictions only allowed for that. But it s something The Pig is going to continue with, alongside inside dining. We thought we would suss it out and see how it managed when coming up against the good old unpredictable British weather.
5. Old Midsummer’s Day (July 5)
Back in the days of the ‘Open Field System’ it was necessary to ensure that everyone was treated fairly with an equal chance of acquiring decent strips and naff strips of land. We know that a bizarre method of parcelling out the strips persisted in Congresbury and Puxton on the Saturday preceding Old Midsummer’s until 1811 which involved tattooed apples (e.g. one bearing a ‘dung fork’) being extracted from a hat or bag (a bit like the FA Cup draw) and said apples determining the strips you got. I particularly like that the serious business of the day was followed by ‘hearty mirth’. Oh yes.
