More British fare at a family run 16th century country pub in Downe Village. Yes, Charles Darwin had a drink here, too.

Queens Larder and Tea Room treated us with homemade cheese onion and potato pie and baked on premises Gammon ham with free range eggs.

Still not used to local meal timing and how food establishments shut down between lunch and dinner.

English pub dogs is a topic of its own.
