English Pub Lunch

I traveled to England for work a few weeks back to visit my company's UK office located in Essex (about 2 hours north of London).   I was fortunate enough to spend the day before my return flight in the lovely town of Windsor, which is located near Heathrow Airport and is the home to Windsor Castle. I spent the afternoon touring the castle, which has been beautifully restored following the fire in the 1990's and then had a few beers and a ploughman's lunch at a pub across the street called The Horse and Groom.  I absolutely love the names of pubs and any name (or sign) that is cute or clever is enough to draw me in for a pint.  English pub food is usually lousy as it almost always is poorly prepared and/or underseasoned.  However, it's pretty hard to fuck up a Ploughman's lunch, which is cheese, bread and some cornichons or greens.  Have it with a pint of ale and you can't go wrong.  The only thing that made me sad was spending the day alone as the hubby was back in Dallas.
