I took my family and to the Fairfield arms on Ashton old Road yesterday for Sunday lunch, and as I was looking through the menu I noticed a vegetarian/vegan menu. I must say with the smell of roast meats wafting out of the kitchen, made the veggie and vegan dishes seem about as exciting as a wet Wednesday in Widnes. Ok, Some of the veggie options seem edible if push comes shove, but I'd rather be pushed off Beachy head by bucking billy goat looking at the vegan options available.
Any of you get excited by this menu?
