The Priory St Olaves

[Hylander]

Just had a fantastic lunch at The Priory.    What a really good establishment.      We had the Halibut with Prawns and Cheese Sauce together with home made chips and I had peas, although there was a selection of whatever veg you preferred.      What I did like was they still have the small wine glasses,   very handy when you are trying to cut down on the wine.     Most establishments seem to go for these huge wine glasses or the larger small wine glass.      Would recommend.   There was a huge choice on the board as well as the menu.   Everything piping hot and served with a smile.

Just had a peek at the menu, certainly something for everyone. Made my mouth water just reading it! Thank you for the review.

Yes, the big balloon glass of wine is to be treated with respect.  The lady Chairman or whatever they are called, of the local WI. When we lived in The Chilterns received a one year ban reduced to nine months for attending a Drink Drive Awareness Course. 

She had a small sherry at a members house then drove to the venue of their Christmas lunch where she consumed a 250ml of rich Australian Red.

Stopped for clipping the curb having not been aware of a cyclist she blew way, way over. 

Naturally the local gutter press went to town over the matter.

Haven't been to the Priory in many, many years. Too many by the sound of it. Our first visit was caused by necessity. We moored alongside another establishment nearby only to be told they were not doing food that night (it might have been a Sunday). We (four lads, early twenties perhaps more used to a night out on the pop!) trekked across the road and up the drive desperate to find something to eat. The receptionist was very dubious that we were at the right establishment but found us a table despite not having booked and they proceeded to serve up a right royal feast, which was very well received. It became a firm favourite stop over for lads week.
