The Pulteney Bridge in the City of Bath is one of only four bridges in the world to have shops on both sides along the full length of the span. It was designed by Robert Adam for Sir William Pulteney. Sir William Pulteney was reputed to be the wealthiest man in Britain; and it was he that was responsible for the development of Brewer Street in Soho.
Brewer Street runs from Glasshouse Street past past Great Pulteney Street to Wardour Street; though intriguingly the Glasshouse Stores public house is half way along Brewer Street, but more on that another day.
To celebrate our birthday we attended The Crown public house with some colleagues and of course were seeking the very apex of that wholesome and flavoursome repast that is the ploughman's lunch.
Our initial reaction was one of pleasure at the intriguing little pork pie. We did find though that there was remarkably little bread. The foliage was firm and the pickle very well made. The simplicity of the apple presentation was most effective. One hesitates to suggest that perhaps there might have been a little too much cheese but then as two type of cheese were presented perhaps that is a little harsh on our part.
